Elm Tree Orthodontics

Elm Tree Orthodontics is a highly-regarded orthodontic clinic located in Hamden, Connecticut, with a legacy of over 50 years. The practice is dedicated to providing personalized and advanced orthodontic care to patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults, in the Hamden, New Haven, and North Haven areas. The clinic is led by Dr. Shamik Desai, a board-certified, Harvard-educated orthodontist who continues the practice's long-standing tradition of excellence. The clinic prides itself on offering a variety of modern and comfortable treatment options. These include traditional metal braces, specifically advanced self-ligating Damon braces, which are known for being lighter, more comfortable, and requiring fewer appointments. They also specialize in aesthetic options like clear aligners, providing a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Elm Tree Orthodontics uses cutting-edge technology, such as the iTero Element scanner, to create precise 3D models of patients' mouths, which aids in developing highly customized treatment plans. Elm Tree Orthodontics is committed to making orthodontic treatment accessible and stress-free. They offer a free, no-pressure initial consultation to discuss treatment options and create a plan tailored to each patient's unique needs. The clinic also provides easy financing and flexible payment options, and they are in-network with most Connecticut insurance plans. Their patient-focused approach, combined with a modern and comfortable office environment, aims to make the orthodontic journey a positive experience from the first visit to the final results. They address a wide range of dental issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, and they emphasize the importance of good oral hygiene throughout the treatment process for lasting results.
