Elite Orthodontics Group cares for Hillcrest patients of every age, and our central San Diego office sits just 10 to 12 minutes north up CA-163. As a board-certified, Diamond+ Invisalign® provider, we offer clear aligners, modern braces, and airway-focused treatment for children, teens, and the many busy professionals who call Hillcrest home.
Hillcrest moves at its own pace, walkable, creative, and full of people who care how they show up. If you live or work in the 92103 neighborhood and want an orthodontist near Hillcrest who matches that energy with real clinical depth, Elite Orthodontics Group is a short drive north. Dr. Nader Ehsani and our team plan every smile around facial balance, a healthy bite, and long-term stability, using digital imaging and AI-supported planning rather than guesswork.
Our office is at 7695 Cardinal Court, Suite 320, in central San Diego’s Serra Mesa medical district, near Sharp Memorial and Rady Children’s Hospital. For Hillcrest residents that means a quick, predictable trip: most patients hop on CA-163 North and exit at Genesee Avenue, about 10 to 12 minutes door to door. You get the calm of a modern medical campus with on-site parking, without the parking hunt of a storefront office in the village.
We treat the full range of orthodontic needs, so a Hillcrest household can use one practice for a teen in braces and a parent in clear aligners. You can request a free consultation by phone or online.
Hillcrest is the heart of Uptown San Diego, a dense, historic neighborhood known for its walkable streets, independent restaurants, and the bright Hillcrest sign over University Avenue. It is the cultural center of San Diego’s LGBTQ+ community and home to the long-running Sunday Hillcrest Farmers Market, all within reach of Balboa Park and the museums and trails just to the south.
The neighborhood is full of working professionals, young adults, and longtime residents who value convenience and quality over a big-box experience. That is exactly the patient we love to care for: someone who wants expert orthodontics, honest answers, and treatment that fits a real, busy life. Being minutes up the freeway, rather than in the middle of village traffic, makes appointments easy to keep before or after work.
Many of our Hillcrest patients are adults who put treatment off for years and are glad they finally started. Because clear aligners and tooth-colored braces are so discreet, you can keep your routine, your work, and your social calendar exactly as they are while your smile quietly improves. And when a bracket loosens or an aligner needs attention, being a few minutes up the freeway means a quick fix on your way to or from work, not a lost afternoon.
From the 92103 area, take CA-163 North and exit at Genesee Avenue, following the signs toward the Sharp Memorial and Rady Children’s medical campus. The drive is typically 10 to 12 minutes with light traffic. There is convenient on-site parking at 7695 Cardinal Court, so you are not circling the block. If you would rather not drive, the office is also close to the SR-163 and I-805 corridors for rideshare.

At Elite Orthodontics Group, we believe orthodontic care should be affordable, transparent, and accessible. Our team takes time to clearly explain costs and payment options so families can move forward with confidence.
We offer:
All costs, insurance benefits, and payment options are reviewed before treatment begins so there are no surprises.
Elite Orthodontics Group offers a full range of orthodontic services designed to support healthy alignment, balanced bites, and confident smiles.
Braces use controlled, gradual pressure to move teeth into proper position and correct bite problems, a reliable option for patients of any age in Hillcrest.
Custom, removable clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires, a discreet option Hillcrest patients can wear through daily life with minimal disruption.
Airway-focused treatment looks at how your jaw and bite affect breathing and sleep, not just how straight your teeth are.
Early treatment identifies and guides jaw and tooth development in children, often preventing more complex issues later.
Adult treatment corrects alignment and bite issues with discreet options built for a grown-up schedule and lifestyle.
For more severe jaw discrepancies, braces are coordinated with jaw surgery to correct alignment, function, and facial balance.
