TOP DENTISTS DR. ELIZABETH ELLEN, DMD “I am committed to offering my patients the best possible individualized treatment, and it is amazing to witness the improvement in a person's self confidence that comes from a beautiful new smile,” states Dr. Elizabeth Ellen. Her focus is on treating people, not just teeth as she strives to always make her patients happy. Dr. Elizabeth Ellen, a third generation orthodontist, and her highly qualified staff have enjoyed over 20 years of practice. The University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and University of Illinois graduate served as an associate professor of clinical orthodontics at Columbia University and was a member of the St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center craniofacial team. Her practice provides outstanding communication and technical excellence. The majority of patients are ready to be evaluated for orthodontic treatment between the ages of 7 and 12 years, yet orthodontic treatment is suitable for all ages. Dr. Ellen's adult patients appreciate that today's cosmetic options include fewer braces and that some treatment plans require a year or less to complete. In addition to metal braces, cosmetic options include ceramic braces, and clear "invisible" aligners using Simpli5 technology to straighten teeth in as short as 5 months. Dr. Ellen has a natural affinity for children and actively participates in Children's Dental Health Month every year. Dr. Ellen also has an active involvement in many professional organizations including the American Association of Orthodontics, American Dental Association, Passaic County Dental Society, New Jersey Association of Orthodontics and the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontics.
