Looking for an orthodontist in Hyattsville, MD? Elite Orthodontics treats patients from the Arts District, West Hyattsville, and the neighborhoods along Route 1 at our Washington and Glenn Dale offices. Great smiles start here, with braces, Invisalign, and early treatment for children, and no charge for your first visit.
Your Trusted Orthodontist Serving Hyattsville and Prince George’s County
Hyattsville sits at a crossroads: Route 1 running north into College Park, the Beltway to the east, and the District a few minutes southwest. That gives our patients two convenient offices, one on 13th Street NW in Washington and one on Annapolis Road in Glenn Dale. We see families from University Park, Riverdale Park, Mount Rainier, Chillum, and Landover Hills, and Spanish-speaking families are welcome to bring an interpreter or ask about scheduling support.
Why Hyattsville Families Choose Elite Orthodontics
An elite smile deserves an Elite experience. No shortcuts, no cutting corners, no rushed appointments. Hyattsville patients point to a few things in particular:
- Personal care from Dr. Emike Aliu at every appointment
- iTero digital scanners and low-radiation 3D imaging
- AAO and ADA member practice
- Two nearby offices, so a schedule change does not mean a lost appointment
- Payment plans discussed openly, not buried in fine print
Orthodontic Treatments We Offer
Here is what we can do for a Hyattsville smile, whatever shape it is in today.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces correct crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites with a level of control aligners cannot match on difficult cases. Our braces FAQ covers eating, cleaning, and what to do when something feels loose.
Invisalign & Invisalign Teen
Removable clear trays make daily life easier: no wire pokes, no food list on the refrigerator. They only work when they are in your mouth, which is the honest trade-off. Invisalign Teen adds wear indicators for younger patients.
Early (Phase 1) Treatment for Kids
Phase 1 treatment corrects developing problems while a child is growing, typically between 7 and 10. When we can widen an arch or fix a crossbite early, later treatment is usually shorter. See when to schedule that first visit.
Retainers & Post-Treatment Care
Once your teeth reach their new positions, a retainer keeps them there. We make retainers from your final digital scan and check the fit at every follow-up so small shifts never become big ones.
Orthodontic Care for Every Age: Children, Teens, and Adults
The AAO recommends a first orthodontic screening at age 7, but treatment itself can start at almost any point after that.
- Kids: braces for kids and growth-guiding appliances when they will do the most good
- Teens: braces or Invisalign Teen, scheduled around school and work-study
- Adults: adult braces and clear aligners, including retreatment of old cases
We are happy to see multiple family members in a single visit. Just tell the front desk when you book.
What to Expect at Your Free Consultation
Every new patient starts with a free consultation. It looks like this:
- Check-in. Forms can be completed online before you arrive.
- Exam and iTero scan. Digital records, no impression material.
- Findings explained. On screen, in plain language, with time for questions.
- Plan and investment. Options, durations, monthly payments, insurance coverage.
- Same-day start available. Only if you are ready.
Bring your dental insurance card and we will tell you your actual out-of-pocket number that day.
Insurance, Financing & Affordability
Braces and Invisalign are partly covered by most dental insurance plans, and we verify your benefit and file claims for you. In-house payment plans with low monthly options keep treatment within reach, HSA and FSA funds are accepted, and every consultation includes a written breakdown of the total investment. If you have no orthodontic benefit at all, say so early and we will build the plan around what you can pay monthly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which office is closer to Hyattsville?
Our Washington office on 13th Street NW is usually the shorter trip from western Hyattsville, while Glenn Dale on Annapolis Road suits patients closer to the Beltway. You can switch between them as needed.
Do you treat crossbites in young children?
Yes, and early is often better. A crossbite corrected at 8 can prevent asymmetric jaw growth that would be far harder to fix at 15.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a couple of weeks for a consultation, sooner if you have an active problem like a loose appliance or an injury.
Is Invisalign more expensive than braces?
Not necessarily. For comparable cases the fees are often similar. The bigger differences are wear discipline and how well aligners handle your particular movements.
What happens at an orthodontic emergency visit?
We reattach loose brackets, trim or replace poking wires, and address discomfort from appliances. Call first so we can hold a slot and tell you what to do in the meantime.
