About Orthodontist The Colony
We help The Colony families choose a board-certified, privately owned orthodontist, then connect them with the practice we trust on Highway 121.
Why we built this resource
The Colony families deserve clear, honest information about orthodontic care. We focus on what protects your result: specialist training, documented outcomes, and a practice that answers to patients rather than a corporate quota. Compare privately owned specialists at TheOrthodontistNearMe.com, and see standards from the American Association of Orthodontists and American Board of Orthodontics.
Why The Colony families trust Elate Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a long-term investment in your bite, airway, and confidence, so the right choice is about the specialist, not the lowest quote. Elate is led by two board-trained orthodontists whose credentials are rare in any market.
Dr. Kevin Baharvand DMD MS
Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a top graduate of Boston University, where he was inducted into four honor societies. He completed his residency at Jacksonville University, among fewer than five US residents to earn an orthodontics certificate alongside two master degrees at once. He serves on the editorial board of Orthotown Magazine, lectures nationally on clear aligners, and had a treated case featured on the cover of the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, the most credited orthodontic journal in the world.
Dr. Julia Kang DMD
Holds two dental degrees from two countries, a distinction that is extraordinarily rare in orthodontics. She earned her first degree from Seoul National University, the most prestigious dental school in South Korea, completed a clinical externship at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, then earned her DMD at Boston University at the top of her class. During residency she was a national finalist for the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics Resident of the Year Award.
The largest before-and-after gallery in DFW
Elate publishes more orthodontic before-and-after cases on social media than any other practice in the Dallas Fort Worth area. No other office documents as many real results. See the work on the before-and-after gallery and on Instagram.
