We strive to provide you with the same caring and compassionate experience we would want to provide for our own families. We Are NOT a Franchise or a DSO (Dental Service Organization) that follows a quantity over quality approach. Our number one goal is to achieve healthy, functional, beautiful smile results that you will love.
One of our commitments is to provide you with full transparency and open dialogue. All throughout your treatment process, we want to make sure that you ask the right questions and get the right answers, solidifying the best treatment decisions. We don't believe in sales gimmicks or pressuring patients into treatment. Instead, we honor people who aren't ready.
We pride ourselves on a personalized, patient-centric approach. Making sure that all the details that are needed to change your smile are carefully accounted for. You are more than just a number in a file.
From having paperless charts to making sure we use the latest technologies, we made sure that our treatment processes are exceptional. Your health is our top priority, we only strive to use state-of-the-art minimal dose radiation equipment and high-end photography techniques to capture the necessary records needed to customize your treatment.
Lets face it, our daily lives are very hectic. There will be times where you will forget to wear your retainers which will cause your teeth to shift. Our SimpliGuarantee Program will allow you to come back and receive re-treatment at a fraction of the cost of the original treatment.
Most orthodontists just monitor retention for a year or two after completion of orthodontic treatment. At SimpliBraces we love seeing you come back at any point of your life for retainer check visits, to ensure your smile stays perfect!
Our team is ready to work with your insurance provider to help you exhaust your benefits. FSAs and HSAs can be applied towards your treatment allowing you to use your pre-tax money. Patients can apply for CareCredit, Lending Point, and other third-party financing agencies that can extend their payments with low interest for up to 60 months.
It was just about the end of summer when my family immigrated to the United States. The school year was just about to start, instead of being happy and excited, I wanted to hide myself. I wanted to be invisible.
Not having prior access to proper dental care, I was always self-conscious about having poorly aligned front teeth. I was very insecure about my appearance, which caused me to be very shy around people.
It wasn't until my orthodontic treatment that my personality, along with my appearance began to change. I went from being a reserved, insecure 13-year-old to becoming a confident young adult. As my teeth began to straighten, I became more outgoing and started smiling more. Psychologically the changes in my smile increased my confidence and self-esteem and I began to change my social behaviors.
I realized how impactful and life-changing orthodontic treatment was. By the end of my high school years, I knew I wanted it to be my career path. Fast forward to today, I feel blessed that I can change and influence people's lives.

Do you know what I love about SimpliBraces? Every day, every single one of our employees comes to work to do what we love. We get to enhance our patients, by creating their beautiful smiles that in turn uplifts them. In fact, the best part is figuring out all the different ways I can create an aesthetically pleasing smile, no matter how challenging the case.
You have heard the phrase, Less is more. This is Dr. Yelizars approach to orthodontics. He prefers to use preventive, guiding and least invasive techniques for accomplishing a beautiful smile result. He doesnt turn to extractions or surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. His end goal is to give each patient a beautiful, healthy, and functional smile with the least amount of intervention.
In school, I was taught to straighten teeth. In practice, I've learned to change lives. The more smiles I create, the more I realize that orthodontics is more than just straight teeth. It's about creating beautiful, stunning smiles that, in turn, change lives.
