Orthodontics isnt just about straight teeth, its all about creating an amazing smile, a beautiful profile appearance and tooth and jaw positions that promote long-term health. When you or your child become a patient at Leland Orthodontics, we focus on creating a smile that will remain gorgeous and function well for your entire life.
If youre looking to straighten your smile without braces, Invisalign clear aligners are a perfect choice for many people. Invisalign straightens teeth utilizing a clear plastic aligner that is virtually invisible. Invisalign is the ideal choice for adults who want a healthy, beautiful smile without metal braces.
Can you imagine middle school or highschool without metal braces? Thanks to Invisalign Teen, metal brackets and wires are no longer a rite of passage for teenagers. Now teens can straighten their teeth and smile while doing it with the convenient, comfortable and virtually invisible treatment.

He attended orthodontic residency at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, dental school at UCLA and did his undergraduate studies at Santa Clara University, where he graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering.
In his free time, Dr. Leland enjoys spending time with his family and navigating the outdoors. He can usually be found in the mountains or on the golf course, his longtime passion. More recently however, youll probably find him playing hide-and-seek, remote control cars, or reading a book. His current favorites are I Spy, Dragons Love Tacos, and Lets Share.
Tylar is our go to for basically everything in the office. Seriously. From schooling Dr. Leland on the Dos and Donts of social media, to being the Leland Ortho fashionista and Invisalign model (her videos can be found on facebook and the Leland Ortho website), she keeps the office running smoothly! We are so lucky that she decided to trade in the beach for the mountains, relocating from Southern California in 2017. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her yorkie, Waffles, country line dancing, and yoga. Her extensive background in medical administration has allowed her to work in multiple areas including, billing, scheduling, treatment plans, authorizations and management.
Other than being strikingly handsome and fluent in Spanish (Habla espanol?), Jose is also a stellar orthodontic assistant! He first became interested in orthodontics when he started working as a dental assistant in public health. His caring nature and ability to connect with people make him an instant fave among patients. In his free time, Jose can be found listening to classical music. He played the viola for 6 years before teeth became his passion! Who knew he was such a talented guy?! He also enjoys playing volleyball, Sasquatch hunting in Lake Tahoe, and drinking brew from the local Dutch Bros. Ultimately, he wants to go back to school to become an orthodontist!
Katie grew up in the Northwest and has been assisting in oral surgery and orthodontics since 2009. Katie is all about getting down and dirty! She loves to go camping and hunting with her Labradors, Brewer and Roxxie. (Adorable). When Katies not in the outdoors, you can find her at home snuggled up on the couch with her dogs and enjoying a glass of wine with some good ol Taco Bell!
Jorge is the one you dont want to mess with. black belt in Tae Kwon Do! But he has put his belt to the side, and picked up a dental mirror. Jorge actually started as an extern at Leland Orthodontics, and he came on full time after graduation! When he isnt expanding his dental knowledge, you can find him playing PS5, hanging out with friends and family, or even solving a rubiks cube (fast too).
Meet Laura! She was born and raised here in the Biggest Little City! Laura has worked in the dental field for the last 4 years, most recently in orthodontics, which has become her favorite specialty (DUH)! When shes not doing back flips in the office (aka being the friendly smiling face you see as you walk in, juggling financial contracts, or organizing the office!), you can find her either hanging at the park with her daughter, or on YouTube! Laura did dance and professional modeling when she was younger, landing herself in a video on YouTube, and is an esteemed pageant winner. Did we mention she also speaks Spanish? Is there anything this amazing mom doesnt do? Eat apples, she informed us (but she will eat apple sauce!!).
Everyone, meet Leah! She recently relocated to Reno from Las Vegas at the beginning of 2021. Leah has been working in the dental field since she was 16 years old, who knew someone could love teeth so much? She moved to Reno to continue her education at UNR, GO Wolf Pack! Between college full time, and working full time, she is a BUSY girl! When Leah is not in the office (or writing a paper) you can find her catching some sun on the sandy beaches of Lake Tahoe or hitting the books studying. We are so lucky that Las Vegas gave up the best ortho assistant!
This is V! (AKA Victoria but prefers V). She is from sunny Huntington Beach, CA, and recently moved up to Reno with her partner Joshua. They have two beautiful little kitties: Evangeline and Brooks (although Eva is no little kitty haha). When she is not answering your calls at the office, you can find her hiking, swimming, snowboarding, pretty much any outdoor activity! She is also fluent in ASL!
Gavin, Weston and Mason can be found doing ninja moves around the office, telling jokes, and eating Goldfish from our snack tray. So what is their primary role at the office you may be asking? Being cute! Duh.
Waffles, (aka Baby Waffs), is the Leland Ortho mascot! Not only is she absolutely adorbs, but Baby Waffs is also well-traveled, having lived in Northern California and Southern California, before relocating to her new home here in Reno. She wasnt sure about the snow at first, but has grown to love it. Her favorite place to be is in Tylars lap, or anywhere that people will give her attention!
