Meet Our Board-Certified Orthodontists in San Marcos, CA

San Marcos Orthodontics is led by three board-certified orthodontists: Dr. Nader Ehsani, Dr. Sherry Sabet, and Dr. John Freda. Each is a Diplomate or Board-certified member of the American Board of Orthodontics, and together they bring advanced training in biomechanics, 3D imaging, airway health, and surgical orthodontics to patients of all ages.

When you choose San Marcos Orthodontics, your smile is in the hands of true specialists. All three of our doctors are board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a voluntary credential that not every orthodontist pursues, which means you are cared for by orthodontists, not a general dentist offering braces on the side. T

hey share one standard of care, a love for this community, and a genuine commitment to every patient who walks through our doors. With more than 160 five-star reviews, our team has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted orthodontic practices on the San Marcos Boulevard corridor.
