I initially fell in love with Orthodontics when I realized that Ortho is a puzzle, a combination of science and art. Behind every bite is a unique and interesting person who deserves an individualized treatment plan, care, and compassion.
Dr. Rosemary Lelich is passionate about orthodontics and about helping people change their smiles and their lives. She is always working to expand her orthodontic knowledge and to stay up-to-date with the latest research and technology. She is certified and has extensive experience with Invisalign. She leads a peer study group with Spear Education and currently serves as the Education Chair on the Minnesota Board of Orthodontics.
Dr. Lelich is a proud Minnesotan. After attending Breck School for 11 years, she moved to Philadelphia for undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, she double majored in Biological Basis of Behavior and Spanish and was fortunate to study in Barcelona for 6 months at La Universidad de Pompeu Fabra. Before dental school, Dr. Lelich lived in Washington DC where she worked for a non-profit organization before returning to Penn to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. She was thrilled to return to Minneapolis to attend residency at the University of Minnesota. During her specialty training, Dr. Lelich completed her Masters Thesis in Bone Biology.
Dr. Lelich loves to travel and form international connections. She has participated in dental exchange programs in Colombia, Taiwan, and Spain. She is also involved in her local community through volunteer work and enjoys yoga, golf, theater, and spending time with her family.
I began my orthodontic career here in May of 2013 and have loved every minute it! There is nothing more rewarding than giving people the smiles they have always wanted! I currently live in the southwest suburbs and Im not sure I could ever leave! On my free time, I enjoy working out and any outdoor activities, especially in the winter. You might notice I LOVE Christmas, my cat, and keeping up on celebrity gossip! I cannot wait to meet you!
I started at Family Orthodontics in September, 2015! The staff has been great and meeting our patients, both young and old, has been very rewarding and fun. I graduated college in 2013 and have been working in orthodontics for three years. Its definitely my favorite dental specialty, no doubt about it. For fun, I like to go watch and cheer on the Minnesota Wild hockey team!!
Im from the North Shore, so I love anything that has to do with being outdoors! Rollerblading, skiing and exploring parks are some of my favorites. I love animals, I have two kittens and a 10 year old pug! I am passionate about cheering on any Minnesota sports team! A little fun fact about me is I knew I wanted a career in orthodontics when I was 13 years old experiencing braces myself!
I am a licensed and certified dental assistant. I started my career in 2019. I absolutely love to be a part of a patients journey to a beautiful smile. When Im not in the clinic you can find me doing arts and crafts, having outdoor adventures, and spending quality time with family.
If you or your child has problems with spaced teeth, protruding front teeth or crowded teeth, Family Orthodontics gives you more orthodontic treatment and non-braces treatment options than you might imagine:
Not all orthodontists are board-certified. To become board-certified, an orthodontist must first pass a rigorous set of written and clinical examinations, as well as a comprehensive board review of his or her credentials. The process of becoming board-certified can take from five to ten years. Once certified, the orthodontist must become recertified every ten years.
A board-certified orthodontist is also called a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). Becoming board-certified signifies the orthodontists pursuit of continued proficiency and excellence in orthodontics.
The American Board of Orthodontics was founded in 1929. It is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in dentistry. The ABOs aim is to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia, to familiarize the public with its aim and ideals, and to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners. The board upholds four main objectives supported by its mission:

My teeth look amazing and we picked this orthodontist over another one because of how welcoming the staff were. They all work hard and made me feel very comfortable throughout my Invisalign treatment. So glad we chose Family Orthodontics.

So thankful for Dr. Lelich, Annalise and Amber! I have always had a horrible fear of any dental work and they were so accommodating and everything was pain free. They walked me thru all the steps and during the session to put on the braces everything was so easy. I almost fell asleep a few times!

As an adult getting braces for the first time, I felt supported, informed, and confident about my treatment plan. Dr. Lelich was open and communicative about what was going on each step of the way, as was her team of incredible dental assistants. I also appreciated that I could expect prompt service every appointment (even the unplanned visits), given that I was usually going to appointments in the middle of my working day. Overall, Dr. Lelich and her team are very professional and delivered exceptional results!

This is a review of Annalise at Family Orthodontics in Saint Louis Park, MN. She is professional and kind. I am a tough customer to please, but Annalise makes me feel as though my visits are easy and it's truly a pleasure when I'm booked with her. She makes me feel like I'm in the best hands, and like she cares and is watching my progress personally. I love it! If you're reading this: Thank you Annalise, and I wish you the best in your career. -Dr. Bibi

I can't say enough positive things about Dr Lelich, the staff, and anyone affiliated with their office. I was an Invisalign patient for the past 2 years and the experience far exceeded any expectation I had. I would suggest their services to anyone!

The entire staff at Family Orthodontics is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I've been a client for the past year as I went through Invisalign treatment. The results are AMAZING, and my confidence in my smile has never been higher. Their thorough communication, and support through this process has been wonderful. I highly recommend this team of talented, kind, and caring individuals.

I highly recommend Dr. Rosemary Lelich for Invisalign. She is very knowledgeable and did an outstanding job straightening both mine and my partners teeth. We couldn't be happier with our smiles. I always looked forward to my visits with her as she was extremely friendly and caring. You can tell how much she loves what she does!

Angela told me that I would never have good teeth. I got Invisalign from a different company and couldn't be happier. I WOULD NOT TRUST THESE "Professionals"

This office has done more to earn my trust in a single consultation than many other health services have done in years. As an otherwise healthy adult, correcting my bite seemed expensive and vain, but I wanted to see if it could be done to help alleviate snoring. Not only did they genuinely listen to my concerns and goals, but Dr Lelich and her office did a great job of laying out my options and making recommendations that were in line with my priorities. I went in expecting a frustrating dead-end and walked out with a clear roadmap and genuine excitement about my future mouth. Also, I want to recognize Amber for being so professionally skilled, but also for being a lot of fun. Seriously great energy from her at all times. I guess it's a good sign that this is an orthodontist I'm excited to visit again!

I couldn't recommend this provider enough! Dr. Rosemary Lelich is so friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. She has been working with my young teenager for over a year and has always been so great with him. She talks through all the options, what to expect and gives you time to ask questions and really feel involved in the decision making process. You can tell Dr. Lelich loves what she does, because it shows in her work! Her staff are so kind, friendly and efficient; which makes it such an easy and enjoyable experience every time we are in. I would definitely recommend them for your orthodontic care. This clinic is where passion and skill meet!

Technically very good, extremely efficient in getting you in an out on time, extremely effective in communication with treatment plan and progress but most extraordinarily- kindness off the scale
