About

Board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontists, Camino Real Orthodontics in Carlsbad's northern El Camino Real corridor has provided braces and Invisalign treatment since 2007. Treatment planning factors in airway evaluation when skeletal discrepancies suggest nasal or oropharyngeal obstruction, a diagnostic step coordinated with San Diego Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists for rhinometric and endoscopic assessment. The lead clinician holds a DDS from NYU College of Dentistry — earned at the top of the class with honors — and an Orthodontic Specialty Certificate from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, supplemented by a general-practice residency at the University of Nevada School of Medicine. Consultations in English and Spanish serve the broader North Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista communities, with the practice maintaining LGBTQ+-affirming protocols across its El Camino Real offices. Patients undergoing jaw-repositioning orthodontics sometimes require concurrent temporomandibular rehabilitation at Longevity Physical Therapy in nearby Bressi Ranch for post-adjustment myofascial release. American-made mini-twin bracket hardware features a reduced labial profile that limits buccal soft-tissue irritation while delivering precise torque, tip, and rotation control through rectangular archwire engagement.
