Why Mitchellville Families Choose Elite Orthodontics
An elite smile deserves an Elite experience. That means no shortcuts, no cutting corners, and no rushed appointments. Here is what Mitchellville patients notice first:
- Care led by Dr. Emike Aliu, founder of Elite Orthodontics

Orthodontic Treatments We Offer
From nearly invisible aligners to dependable metal brackets, we offer a full range of options for Mitchellville smiles.
Braces
Metal and ceramic brackets remain the most versatile way to correct crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Compare your options on our types of braces page, or read the self-ligating versus traditional braces breakdown if you want the technical detail.
Invisalign & Invisalign Teen
Clear aligners suit teens and adults who would rather not announce their treatment to a conference room. We map every stage digitally before the first tray goes in. See Invisalign for adults or the Invisalign FAQ for specifics on wear time and results.
Early (Phase 1) Treatment for Kids
Interceptive treatment guides jaw growth while a child is still developing and creates room for permanent teeth to arrive in the right place. Not every seven-year-old needs appliances, but an early exam tells us whether waiting is safe. Our guide to signs your child needs braces covers what to watch for at home.
Retainers & Post-Treatment Care
Teeth drift for life, so retention is part of the treatment, not an afterthought. We fit your retainer, show you how to care for it, and keep checking your result at follow-up visits.
Orthodontic Care for Every Age: Children, Teens, and Adults
The AAO recommends an orthodontic screening by age 7, well before most parents expect it. That first visit is usually reassurance rather than treatment.
- Kids: Phase 1 care and braces for kids address bite problems while growth is on our side
- Teens: braces for teens and Invisalign Teen fit around school, sports, and marching band
- Adults: ceramic brackets and clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly at 30, 50, or 70
Mitchellville parents often start a child’s treatment and finish their own in the same practice. We are happy to see both of you in one visit.
What to Expect at Your Free Consultation
Your first appointment is free, unhurried, and built to answer questions rather than sell you something.
- Welcome and a short new-patient form. Finish the paperwork online and arrive ready to talk.
- Digital scan and exam. An iTero scan captures your bite in 3D in a few minutes.
- Treatment discussion. Dr. Aliu walks through the options, the timeline, and what each choice means.
- Financial walkthrough. We explain insurance benefits, monthly options, and the total investment.
- Same-day start if you want it. If everything looks right, treatment can begin that day.
No pressure and no obligation, just clear answers you can take home and think about.
Insurance, Financing & Affordability
Most major dental plans include orthodontic benefits, and our team files the paperwork for you. Elite Orthodontics also offers flexible in-house payment plans with low monthly options, and HSA and FSA funds are welcome. Every consultation ends with a written breakdown of your investment, so the number you hear is the number you pay. Ask us about our retention program if you want extra protection after treatment. Questions about cost before you come in? Reach out and we will talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is your office from Mitchellville?
Our Bowie office at 14300 Gallant Fox Ln. is a short drive from most Mitchellville neighborhoods by way of Route 197 or Central Avenue, and our Glenn Dale office is a similar distance to the west. Pick whichever is easier on your route.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
By age 7, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. Most children that age need nothing more than monitoring, but the exam catches crossbites and crowding while they are still simple to correct.
Can I get Invisalign if I had braces as a teenager?
Yes. Relapse after childhood treatment is one of the most common reasons adults come back to us, and clear aligners often handle it in months rather than years.
Do you take my dental insurance?
We work with most major dental plans and verify your orthodontic benefit before treatment starts, so you know the practiceโs portion and yours up front.
What happens if a bracket breaks the night before a trip?
Call the office. We keep time open for orthodontic emergencies like loose brackets, poking wires, and lost aligners, and we will coach you through overnight comfort measures on the phone.
