No. All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to complete Board Certification. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification process signifies a unique achievementa significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics. The process requires the orthodontist to demonstrate actual accomplishments in patient care with detailed case reports on the treatment provided for a broad range of patient problems. Board certification is a voluntary achievement that all orthodontists do not choose to pursue. In order to become board certified by the ABO, an individual orthodontist is thoroughly interviewed by a highly respected panel of examiners to demonstrate their orthodontic knowledge, clinical skills and judgment.

One. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the only certifying board in the specialty that is recognized by the American Dental Association. The ABO was founded in 1929 and is the oldest specialty board in dentistry. The boards purpose is to elevate the quality of orthodontic care for the public by promoting excellence through certification, education and professional collaboration.

Successful completion of the examination process demonstrates the orthodontists highest commitment to excellence in orthodontics to both the orthodontic profession and the general public. It represents a commitment by a licensed specialist that he/she has the necessary knowledge base and skills to treat patients to the highest of standards. It exemplifies a practitioners commitment to continue to keep abreast of the latest advances in patient care, and to continue to deliver these latest advances to patients. Many orthodontists see it as a demonstration of their dedication to the specialty and the highest level of personal achievement.

Since the establishment of the ABO in 1929, the certification process requirements have continued to adjust to the demands of the specialty. Today, the process involves a thorough Written Examination (240 questions) covering all areas of information which an orthodontist should be knowledgeable. Successful completion of this board exam allows the orthodontist to proceed to the Clinical Examination where they present detailed case reports from their practice/residency, demonstrating a history of excellence in patient care. These cases are evaluated by a panel of examiners and later discussed during an oral examination where the applicant is tested on a wide variety of academic and clinical topics. After successful completion of these examinations, the orthodontist has officially achieved Board Certification, for a time-limited period. The orthodontist must go through Certification Renewal every 10 years to maintain their certification status by demonstrating this continued level of patient care.

Elite Orthodontics went above and beyond to ensure that my treatment plan went accordingly and efficiently! The staff is so welcoming from the minute you walk into the door and after your appointment. Dr Sabet was amazing--she was very thorough and always answered all of my questions and concerns. I'm so excited to take off my braces and see my smile! You won't be in better hands than the staff at Elite Ortho! :)

I was very impressed with Dr. Sabet and the team at Elite Orthodontics. I have a complex orthodontic history as a child/young adult, and shortly after moving to San Diego, had an urgent issue arise. The front desk staff offered me a prompt appointment. Dr. Sabet has a wonderful bedside manner. She and her team fixed my problem with efficiency and kindness. Highly recommend Dr. Sabet and her entire team!

Best choice I've ever made. I adore my smile. Both Drs. Ehsani and Sabet are amazing! Dr. Ehsani and Dr. Sabet both truly make you feel like you're their most important patient. Despite the fact that I am aware that every single member of the Elite Orthodontics staff is a wonderful person, I am just really pleased with the outcomes, and I would definitely suggest visiting Elite Orthodontics.

Elite Orthodontics has provided one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. I got braces for the first time ever as a 41 y/o June 2020, and there were several payment plan options. I chose to pay everything up front because Elite offered a generous discount for a cash/certified funds payment. In any event, I just got my braces off a few days shy of 2 years and my 43rd birthday (which was the goal) this past June and I never saw a change in the service I received even though I had already paid in full. They were friendly, professional, timely- I've never sat in the waiting room longer than 5 mins, if that. Dr. Sherry Sabet has such a gentle touch and commitment to her patients. The few times that she wasnt available, Dr. Ehsani seamlessly stepped right in. The office staff have always greeted me with a smile and have been cordial in our communications. Then I think the best part of my experience has been the ortho technicians. No matter who worked with me, I've always had the same care and attention to detail, but Chris M. is my ABSOLUTE favorite! The only downside of my entire experience is they send far too many appointment reminders, but hey, I never missed a visit, so...mission accomplished!

To say that i love the care that my son and I received here at Elite orthodontics would be an understatement! The way we were taken care of both from a medical ANNDDD a financial perspective is truly unmatched! My son felt so comfortable coming to appointments alone! The staff literally became like extended aunts and uncles to him! Although we loved everyone, Chris was our favorite and is the ABSOLUTE best!!! His attention to detail is mind blowing! We were excited to get our braces off and show off our beautiful new smiles but also a little sad because we loved the entire office! From the sweet ladies who work the front desk, the financial people, and on to the Drs and the Techs, Elite Orthodontics is nothing short of their name: E L I T E! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. SABET AND DR. EHSANI!

I cannot express enough how amazing this entire experience has been. From the very first day, the team over at Elite Orthodontics was superb. Everyone was supportive and professional from receptionist to specialist. If you are considering getting ortho work done, look no further. I have already referred two other people and I am glad to add my name to the growing list of satisfied customers. Thank you Elite Orthodontics. It's refreshing to see that this level of service has not completely gone extinct.

I recently finished my Invisalign treatment after 11 months! Everything went awesome and I'm very satisfied with the results. I was initially helped by Wendy who gave a phenomenal consultation during my first visit (although I'm not sure if she is still there, haven't seen her last couple times.) PRICING is very fair. I talked to 2 different (non-affiliated) dentists and both said it was good pricing. Fitting process was a breeze, and my follow up appointments were fine. It seems untraditional in that there are several different people who help you each time, but it wasn't an issue at all. At the end of each visit, one of the two main ortho doctors does a quick check in as well. My last several visits I had been helped by Chris who did a great job helping me wrapping up the process and advice going forward. 10 out of 10, 100% recommend this place!

Fantastic staff and they know what they're doing! I tried getting Invisalign through a dentist and after 2 years it still didnt work. I came to Elite and they said I was a perfect candidate, and within only 9 months of Invisalign they did what my other dentist had no clue how to do. Totally happy with my experience here.

Although my teeth didn't require a lot of work, this didn't stop anyone here from providing me with phenomenal service with no hiccups--from Dr. Ehsani, Dr. Sabet, and Chris to be exact. Going into treatment I had extremely high expectations and every staff member I encountered always exceeded them! I'm completely satisfied with my end result and definitely feel it was worth every hard-earned penny so thank you all!!

I just moved to San Diego a few weeks, and my retainer broke. So I went looking for an ortho on google and found Elite. I called and made an appointment, which was extremely easy. Upon arrive the assistant came and took me back for pictures, etc. She was extremely professional and sweet. After discussing my options, which I was wanting braces again, but it wasn't the right option I decided to have the retainer replaced. This is where it went completely unprofessional and sideways. First off, yes I was completely in the wrong by forgetting my CareCredit card at home. So I gave the assistant my information and she has to go run it upfront. Then she said that the insurance coordinator stated I didn't have an account. Wrong. Second I had to keep texting statements, pictures of where I was listed in the account, statements, etc. Typically you give them your drivers license and that's it if you forget your card. This continued back and forth for 30 mins or so and I felt really bad for the assistant having to keep running back and forth. I told her to have this so called insurance coordinator call CareCredit. So I text their phone number to her because I assume she was too lazy to look it up, didn't know what she was doing, or just making me feel like I am commuting fraud for a retainer. Just to add she couldn't step out of her closet office, so I walked up front heard CareCredit verifying everything I said 30 mins ago and then she was going to process the charge. I said no and walked out. The upfront coordinator thinks she's too good to get out of her chair and save 30+ mins and could have handled the situation completely different. She made the entire office look terrible and a complete waste of time. Hopefully the process will change, or she could be replaced for someone that knows how to work in a front office. Please beware when they start going back and forth and they are speaking with the so called "Insurance Coordinator". She's worthless.
