Orthodontist in Encinitas, CA
Right on El Camino Real — where it all started.
Encinitas Orthodontics is at 317 N El Camino Real, Suite 203 — right on the main corridor through town. Dr. Skyler Liatti provides comprehensive, airway-focused care for children, teens, and adults, and every new patient receives a free consultation with 3D imaging, a full exam, and a same-day treatment presentation.
Built for the families who live here.
Dr. Liatti chose Encinitas because it's a community that values health — not just treatment. Families here tend to look for a more holistic approach to orthodontics, one that goes beyond a standard braces or Invisalign recommendation. They want to understand the why behind the plan. That's exactly how this practice operates: airway, jaw development, and facial growth are part of every evaluation, not an add-on.
Encinitas families have access to everything the practice offers: braces, Invisalign, palatal expansion, MARPE, early treatment, and surgical orthodontics. Dr. Liatti takes his own records, reads his own scans, and presents every treatment plan himself.
Diagnosis-first, from the very first visit.
Free comprehensive evaluation
Every new patient gets a full consultation — a clinical exam, CBCT 3D imaging when indicated, and a same-day treatment presentation — at no cost. No referral needed.
Airway-focused approach
Dr. Liatti evaluates the bite, the jaws, and the airway together. Breathing, tongue posture, and jaw development are part of every diagnosis — not an afterthought.
In-house technology
CBCT cone-beam imaging, digital scanning, and in-house 3D printing mean faster records, better planning, and fewer outside referrals for imaging.
One doctor, every visit
Dr. Liatti sees every patient at every appointment. There's no rotation of associates or traveling doctors. The person who makes the plan is the person who carries it out.
It all starts with the most thorough first visit in North County — and it's free.

MARPE Expansion
Widen the upper jaw without conventional surgery — a path to better breathing, more arch space, and crossbite correction for teens and adults.
Braces
Time-tested and effective across the widest range of cases. Metal, clear, and gold offer predictability and precision for all ages.
Invisalign
Straighten your teeth with clear, removable aligners — custom trays that gradually move teeth into position, designed by Dr. Liatti.
Retainers
The work doesn't end when braces come off. We prescribe the right retainer and offer a premium package with extra sets at a deep discount.
Early Treatment
Seeing children around age seven lets Dr. Liatti catch jaw and airway issues while growth is still on our side — preventing bigger problems later.
Surgical Orthodontics
Some jaw problems require more than tooth movement. When surgery is the right answer, we coordinate every step of the plan together.
We sponsor the schools our patients attend.
Encinitas Orthodontics donates to and sponsors local schools throughout the community. Our patients' kids go to these schools, their teams play on these fields, and their teachers see the same faces we do in our office. Supporting them is part of being here.

What our patients say.
I recently finished my orthodontic treatment at Encinitas Orthodontics. I had an underbite but now it’s perfect. Dr. Liatti’s treatment method to move my teeth considered my overall health instead of just how the teeth looks, unlike other orthodontists who…
We have been to several other orthodontists in the north county area for braces for my other two kids, but I switched to Dr. Liatti at Encinitas Orthodontics for my third child’s braces and he is unquestionably the best in the business!
My boys love it here. Everyone is so kind and patient. The location for us is far but worth the drive. They were able to find unique treatments that does not compare to other orthos. Thank you for taking care of us!

Questions about orthodontic care in Encinitas
How much do braces cost in Encinitas?
Braces at Encinitas Orthodontics cost between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on the complexity of the case and length of treatment. Metal, clear, and gold brackets are all the same fee. That price includes retainers and all follow-up visits through retention. We work with most dental insurance plans and offer flexible monthly payment options. Your free consultation includes a full evaluation so you can get an accurate estimate before committing to anything.
How much does Invisalign cost in Encinitas?
Invisalign at our practice costs the same as braces: $3,000 to $8,000 depending on case complexity. Simple spacing cases cost less; comprehensive treatment with bite correction costs more. Insurance covers Invisalign the same way it covers braces. We verify your benefits before your first visit and offer interest-free monthly payments.
What makes Encinitas Orthodontics different from other orthodontists?
Dr. Liatti evaluates the airway, jaw joints, and skeletal development as part of every diagnosis using CBCT 3D cone-beam imaging. He takes his own records, reads his own scans, and sees every patient at every appointment. That diagnostic thoroughness changes treatment plans and outcomes.
Do you offer free consultations for braces and Invisalign?
Yes. Every new patient receives a full clinical exam with Dr. Liatti, CBCT 3D imaging when indicated, and a same-day treatment presentation at no cost. You’ll leave understanding your options, timeline, and investment. No referral is needed to schedule.
Do you treat adults with braces and Invisalign in Encinitas?
Yes. A growing number of our patients are adults seeking Invisalign, braces, MARPE expansion, or comprehensive treatment they’ve been putting off. There’s no age limit on getting the care you need, and many adult cases can be completed in 12 to 18 months.
