Elm Tree Orthodontics

Elm Tree Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic practice with a legacy of serving the Hamden and North Haven, Connecticut areas for over 50 years. The clinic is currently led by Dr. Shamik Desai, a board-certified orthodontist with extensive training from prestigious institutions including Harvard Dental School and Columbia University. The practice focuses on providing personalized and compassionate care to children, teens, and adults. Elm Tree Orthodontics offers a comprehensive suite of modern orthodontic treatments. These include traditional metal and ceramic braces, as well as advanced technologies like LightForce brackets, which are custom 3D-printed for each patient to enhance efficiency and reduce treatment time. The clinic is also a certified provider of clear aligners, such as Invisalign and Spark, offering a discreet and convenient option for patients. Other services include two-phase treatment plans for complex cases and orthognathic surgery. The clinic is committed to making the orthodontic journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible. They use state-of-the-art technology, such as shape-memory NiTi wires, which provide continuous gentle force to move teeth without needing painful "tightening" appointments. They offer a free smile consultation for new patients, flexible scheduling, and a variety of flexible payment options and financing plans to make treatment affordable and accessible. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the friendly and professional staff, the welcoming atmosphere, and the clear communication from Dr. Desai and his team. The clinic's modern and clean offices are conveniently located in both North Haven and Hamden, making expert orthodontic care easily reachable for the local community.
