If you live in Carlsbad and want a true orthodontic specialist, San Marcos Orthodontics is an easy drive inland from the coast. Many Carlsbad families choose to skip the busy coastal corridor and head a few minutes east, where they find a board-certified team, modern digital treatment, and one of the highest-reviewed orthodontic practices in North County San Diego. We care for patients from Carlsbad Village to La Costa and everywhere in the 92008, 92009, 92010, and 92011 ZIP codes. Whether your child is due for a first evaluation or you are an adult considering Invisalign, your first visit with us is always complimentary.
Our office sits at 833 West San Marcos Boulevard, just south of Highway 78 in the heart of San Marcos. For most Carlsbad residents, the most direct route is Palomar Airport Road or Rancho Santa Fe Road heading east, a straightforward drive that avoids much of the coastal traffic and takes roughly 12 to 18 minutes. That short inland trip is why so many Carlsbad patients trust us for specialist orthodontic care: you get the focused expertise of a dedicated orthodontic practice without a long commute.
We provide a full range of orthodontic care for every age and goal:
Metal, clear ceramic, and low-profile Damon self-ligating braces for kids, teens, and adults, planned and finished by a board-certified specialist.
As a Diamond+ Invisalign Provider, we treat a high volume of clear aligner cases each year, including complex bites other offices may turn away.
Following the American Association of Orthodontists guidance, we evaluate Carlsbad children by age seven with early orthodontic treatment to guide healthy jaw growth.
Our airway-focused orthodontics and bone-anchored MARPE expansion address narrow jaws and breathing concerns, a niche few practices offer.
In a coastal market with many general dentists offering orthodontics on the side, we stand out for one simple reason: our doctors are board-certified orthodontic specialists. Dr. Nader Ehsani, Dr. Sherry Sabet, and Dr. John Freda each completed the rigorous certification of the American Board of Orthodontics. Carlsbad families also choose us for our more than 160 five-star reviews, our fully digital treatment that replaces messy impressions, and our same-day starts that let many patients begin the day of their consultation.
