Orthodontist Serving Clairemont Mesa East, San Diego, CA

Elite Orthodontics Group is practically your neighbor in Clairemont Mesa East. Our office is just 5 to 8 minutes away off Mesa College Drive, and as a board-certified, Diamond+ Invisalign® provider we offer braces, clear aligners, and airway-focused care for children, teens, and adults right here in central San Diego.

If you live in the 92111 or 92117 area and have been searching for an orthodontist near Clairemont Mesa East, you do not have to drive across the county. Elite Orthodontics Group sits minutes from your door, which makes Clairemont one of the easiest neighborhoods we serve. Dr. Nader Ehsani and our team build every treatment plan around a healthy bite, facial balance, and lasting results, using digital imaging and careful, specialist planning.

Convenient Access for Clairemont Mesa East Families via Mesa College Drive

Our office is at 7695 Cardinal Court, Suite 320, in the Serra Mesa medical district near Sharp Memorial and Rady Children’s Hospital, just east of Clairemont. For most Clairemont Mesa East families the trip is a quick 5 to 8 minutes: take Mesa College Drive or Genesee Avenue east toward the medical campus. That closeness matters with braces, because it makes routine adjustment visits easy to fit around school, work, and errands without losing half a day.

Because we are right next door, a Clairemont household can keep the whole family with one practice, a teen in braces and a parent in aligners, and still be home in minutes. Request a free consultation by phone or online.

About Clairemont Mesa East, the Community We Serve

Clairemont is one of San Diego’s classic established neighborhoods, a practical, mid-century community of tree-lined streets, longtime residents, and young families settling into their first homes. Clairemont Mesa East sits along the Genesee and SR-163 corridor, close to San Diego Mesa College, Clairemont Square, and the canyons of Marian Bear and Tecolote that give the area its open-space feel.

It is a neighborhood built around family routines, schools, sports, and weekend errands close to home. That fits how we like to practice: dependable, unhurried care from a team that knows your name. For Mesa College students, we are an easy stop between classes for a consult or aligner check, and for parents, having a specialist orthodontist just minutes away takes the friction out of a year or two of regular visits.

Families here often have more than one child in or near treatment, and we make that simple, coordinating siblings on the same visit when we can and keeping plans clear for parents. Being just minutes away also helps on the days that do not go to plan: a poking wire or a loose bracket is a fast stop on the way to school or work, not a half-day detour across town. That neighborly convenience is a big part of why Clairemont families stay with us from a first consultation all the way through retainers.

Getting to Our Office from Clairemont Mesa East

From the 92111 or 92117 area, head east on Mesa College Drive or Genesee Avenue toward the Sharp Memorial and Rady Children’s medical campus, then follow the signs to 7695 Cardinal Court. The drive is usually 5 to 8 minutes, and there is on-site parking when you arrive. The office is easy to reach from the SR-163 and I-805 as well.

Dr. Nader Ehsani is a wonderful orthodontist who I've gotten to know over the course of my Invisalign treatment. Every time I come to the office, the staff are friendly and attentive. I truly enjoy going in for my check-ins because of the lovely environment. I've also worked with Dr. Sabet, another orthodontist in the practice, and very much appreciated her attentiveness as well. I'm almost at the finish line with my Invisalign, and I'd highly recommend the team at Elite Orthodontics to anyone looking to fix their smile.

Highly recommend Elite Orthodontics! Their entire staff is incredibly welcoming, transparent, and knowledgeable. I reached out to them due to an orthodontic emergency not knowing where to go, and as a first time patient they were able to get me in same day and provided me with incredible results and such great care. Their office is very comfortable, clean, and they don't push any unnecessary costs onto you. I truly can't recommend them enough!

I was referred to Dr. Ehsani and the Elite Ortho group by my dentist as a surgical case (double jaw surgery with orthognathic treatment), and the whole team has been wonderful. During the initial consultation, Dr. Ehsani was patient in answering the many questions I had and walked me through everything to expect. When it came to surgery and my insurance wasn't approving any of the OMSs in the city, Dr. Ehsani stepped in to help find a solution. Double jaw surgery isn't for the faint of heart, but between the surgical team and Dr. Ehsani's team, I don't believe could've asked for a more compassionate care network. The ortho appts were smooth, with the same level of patience and care exhibited during the initial consult. When Dr. Ehsani wasn't in office and Dr. Freda stepped in, Dr. Freda's bedside manner was appreciated in that he shared the same patience and willingness to answer questions. Also appreciate that the whole team has a lightheartedness to them, not taking themselves too seriously, makes for a very comfortable medical environment. Overall, I'd highly recommend anyone looking for orthodontic care to come in and meet the team. Not that I want to go through braces again, but if I had to, I'd happily come back here.

Our experience with Elite Orthodontics has been exceptional. The front desk staff is always warm and helpful, and the rest of the crew kept us informed and feeling like family. Appointments were efficient and fit into our schedule nicely. My son never had any complaints about his braces throughout the process and as a very shy teen, he was always attended to in a way that kept him comfortable. 10/10 would recommend based on our experience!

Cannot THANK Elite orthodontists enough for saving the day! We needed some emergency orthodontic care this holiday weekend. Our orthodontist office was closed and could not be reached and Elite orthodontist was the only office in town that came through to provide emergency care for my son. His pallet expander bracket had become completely loose and was putting a lot of pressure on his other molar, causing him a lot of pain and discomfort. Elite orthodontic came through and took us in at the last minute and they were able to cement his bracket back on saving the day and our out-of-town trip for the next week. I cannot put into words how grateful we are to have found this level of care at elite orthodontist and I am so grateful for their one-on-one care and understanding and patient support. Amazing staff and Doctor support to ALL patients. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I have to say that this orthodontics is the best! My daughter encountered so many different dentists that wanted to slap braces on since the age of 10. This place, however, monitored her for an entire year up before deciding she was ready for braces and she was a sophomore in high school when she got them on. I'm so glad I was smart enough to know that she was not ready the first three times three different dentists said she needed braces.

Just got my braces off after jaw surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My orthodontist coordinated everything seamlessly between the surgical team and ongoing treatment, which made the whole process way less stressful than it could have been. The care and attention to detail throughout was excellent, and I love how my bite turned out. Highly recommend if you’re considering treatment or want to improve your smile! 😁

Our dentist at All Smiles recommended that we bring our daughter to Elite Orthodontics, and we had a great experience from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly, which made the process easy to understand. I also appreciated that I was able to sit nearby during her appointments while they adjusted her braces. The staff was always friendly and did a great job making my daughter feel comfortable. They were also very organized and sent appointment reminders, which was really helpful. My daughter actually enjoyed going to her appointments, and now that her braces are off, she is so happy with her smile and the results. We are very thankful for the care she received and would definitely recommend Elite Orthodontics to other families! 😊
