When my wife, Dr. Julia Kang, and I founded Elate Orthodontics, we had a vision that extended far beyond just straightening teeth. We wanted to create a practice built on the values of family, health, and happiness—a place where every patient would feel at home and supported on their journey to a better smile.
We understood the profound impact that a healthy, confident smile could have on someone’s life. Both of us have seen firsthand how improved oral health can inspire self-confidence, improve relationships, and enhance overall well-being. With that in mind, we set out to build a practice that reflected the kind of care we would want for our own family.
Starting Elate Orthodontics wasn’t just about building a business; it was about building relationships with the communities we serve. From the beginning, we prioritized creating a warm, welcoming environment where patients and their families felt heard, respected, and cared for.
As a husband-and-wife team, Julia and I have worked together to ensure that our core values of family, health and happiness guide everything we do. We also know what it means to balance professional life with family life—raising our children while running multiple practices has taught us the importance of being fully present, whether in the office or at home.
Our patients often tell us that they feel like part of the Elate family, and that means everything to us. We believe that orthodontics is more than just a treatment; it's about transforming lives, building confidence, and creating smiles that last a lifetime.
We understand how busy life can get, especially for families with children in school and extracurricular activities. That's why we’ve built Elate Orthodontics around convenience, efficiency, and personalized care. Our three office locations—The Colony, Frisco, and Prosper—allow us to serve a broad range of communities while making treatment as accessible as possible.
At Elate Orthodontics, health is at the core of everything we do. A straight, properly aligned smile isn't just about aesthetics—it plays a crucial role in maintaining long-term oral health, preventing issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and jaw pain. We invest in the latest orthodontic technology to ensure that our treatments are effective, comfortable, and designed to improve both function and appearance.
But we also believe in treating the whole person, not just the teeth. We take the time to listen to our patients, explain their treatment options, and develop customized plans that meet their unique needs. Our team works hard to create an atmosphere of trust and comfort, knowing that a positive experience can make all the difference for both children and adults.
Our practice wouldn’t be where it is today without the incredible support of the communities we serve. From The Colony to Frisco to Prosper, we’ve built lasting relationships through our involvement in local schools, events, and charitable initiatives. We sponsor school activities, participate in community events, and collaborate with local businesses to give back to the families who trust us with their care.
This connection to the community is deeply personal to us. Julia and I want our children to see the value of supporting others and making a positive impact. That’s why Elate Orthodontics is more than just a practice—it’s a reflection of the life we’re building together as both professionals and parents.
One of the most rewarding parts of our work is seeing how a new smile can bring happiness to a patient’s life. We’ve witnessed shy teenagers gain confidence after getting their braces removed, adults finally feel proud of their smiles, and families celebrate these milestones together. These moments remind us why we started this journey—to spread joy through healthy, beautiful smiles.
As a family-run practice, we strive to bring that same happiness to every family that walks through our doors. Our hope is that you leave not only with a smile you love but also with a memorable experience built on trust, care, and support.
Whether you’re seeking braces for your child, Invisalign for yourself, or a solution for a complex orthodontic issue, Julia, our team, and I are here to guide you every step of the way. We would be honored to welcome you to the Elate family and support your journey to better health, confidence, and happiness.
