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.
Part of the same community
The Solana Beach–Encinitas border runs right through Cardiff, and many families on both sides share the same schools, sports leagues, and daily routines. When we support a school event or team, we're investing in the same neighborhoods our patients live in. The city line doesn't change that.
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 from Solana Beach families
Do you offer Invisalign near Solana Beach?
Yes. Our Encinitas office is 5 minutes from Solana Beach, and Invisalign is one of Dr. Liatti’s most common treatments for adults and teens. He’ll determine at your free consultation whether aligners can achieve the result you need, or whether braces or a combined approach would be more effective. He recommends whichever option the findings support, and walks you through the tradeoffs of each.
How much do braces cost near Solana Beach?
Braces at Encinitas Orthodontics range from $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the complexity of the case and length of treatment. That price includes retainers and all follow-up visits. 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.
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation around age seven. That’s when Dr. Liatti can assess jaw growth, airway development, and early crowding — often catching issues that are easier to address while a child is still growing. Most evaluations at that age end in monitoring — and the ones that don’t are exactly the cases worth catching early.
Is Encinitas Orthodontics close to Solana Beach?
Very close — about 5 minutes north on the 101 or I-5. Cardiff-by-the-Sea sits right on the border, and we share the same school zones.
How much does Invisalign cost near Solana Beach?
Invisalign at our office ranges from $3,000 to $8,000, the same as braces. Cost varies with case complexity. Shorter treatments for mild spacing run toward the lower end; full bite correction with attachments and refinements falls higher. We accept most dental insurance plans and offer monthly payment options. Dr. Liatti gives you an exact quote at your free consultation after reviewing your 3D imaging.
