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 insisted on removing teeth unnecessarily. He even showed me in 3D how his treatment would not affect things such as airways and breathing. Dr. Liatti is very nice and kind, and his staff is very nice too. The place was nice, clean, and welcoming. Yummy cookies :)

Braces
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! He clearly explained a tailored plan for my child’s braces and, to my surprise, the timeline went exactly as planned. Other orthodontists had said that my child needed an expander before his braces, but it turned out that he did not. Dr. Liatti is highly knowledgeable of his practice and easy to communicate with. He is also super friendly and, seriously, always on time, which is impossibly rare in any business. His staff is also very friendly and they were very accommodating to our schedule. Also, at the end of any visit, you can get a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, which is a yummy treat for the kids. I very highly recommend Dr. Liatti and Encinitas Orthodontics!

Airway
We love Dr. Liatti and his amazing staff! Our older son was treated for airway restriction/sleep apnea, and our younger son for a crossbite that would have permanently damaged his adult teeth. Both of our experiences with full treatments including expansion and braces have been incredible. The office staff is so friendly and helpful, and Dr. Liatti is the best! We got many quotes in the area and chose Dr. Liatti because he was the most attentive, knowledgeable, professional, is board-certified, but also reasonable. Every step of the way our expectations have been exceeded. We can’t recommend this team highly enough.

Airway
We consulted with multiple orthodontists before and after meeting Dr. Liatti. We live quite far (1 hour drive) but it was 100% the right decision. Each of our children have received personalized care and treatment plans. Airway concerns were top on my list and Dr. Liatti took the time to hear our concerns, answer in detail any questions we had and provide outstanding care for each of our kids.

Dr. Liatti and his staff came in and saved me from a previously horrible Invisalign experience. Within two weeks, I had a new treatment plan (done the correct way with the latest technologies from a board certified orthodontist) and a new caring, funny, professional team. I can't recommend Encinitas Orthodontics highly enough. I would give them 10 stars, 100, a million. Only a small percentage of orthodontists become truly board certified. With this team, you're getting a gold stamp of approval.

Braces
I love that there was no push to do braces early and then having to have a phase 2 later. My son had his braces on less than 2 years total. I’m kind of suspicious of orthos who drag it out. Great experience here.

I just finished my journey with braces through Encinitas Orthodontics/Dr. Liatti. He and his team are friendly and very knowledgeable. After interviewing several practices in the area, his quote was very reasonable, office staff is friendly, and the office is modern and clean. I went with traditional braces after discussing my options and had them for 18 months. I love my straight and aligned teeth! I highly recommend Encinitas Orthodontics.

I saw Dr. Liatti at Encinitas Orthodontics for a new retainer and was extremely impressed. As a speech and language pathologist, I appreciated Dr. Liatti’s thorough examination and was impressed with his wealth of knowledge. Not only in orthodontics but knowledge in airway and tethered oral tissue. This examination even included a CBCT scan which I was able to share with my ENT! I highly recommend going to Encinitas Orthodontics!

Dr. Liatti’s office and staff are wonderful. As an adult patient, with metal allergies, they were so accommodating when my braces’ wires needed adjusting due to allergies, and always kind, compassionate, and thorough.

My 14 year old got her braces off today after a year of wonderful experiences with Dr Liatti. My 17 year old also went to Encinitas Orthodontist and his experience was awesome as well.

I can't say enough good things about Encinitas Orthodontics. My son just got his braces off and his teeth look amazing. Right from our first appointment, Dr. Liatti always treated my son with respect and took the time to explain things to him...

Great ortho experience. My 9 yrs old has endured spacers both top and bottom and now has braces too and bottom. Heard stories it would be very traumatic. It has been a breeze so far. Coming in for adjustments and little fixes have been super easy as well.
