We Post More Finished Cases Than Anyone Around Here. On Purpose.
I used to keep a binder. Every orthodontist does. A patient would sit down, look at me a little skeptical, and ask the question everybody asks: “Have you ever fixed something like mine?” And I would reach for the binder.
At some point that started to feel backwards. Why is my best work sitting in a three-ring binder in an office when the person deciding whether to trust me with their kid’s smile is sitting right there? So we stopped hiding it. We started publishing finished cases, out in the open, every week. Two or three of them. Real patients, real results, on Instagram, Facebook, and Google.
As far as I can tell, that makes us the number one publisher of before-and-after cases in the area. Not one of. The most active library you will find at any orthodontic practice around here, and it grows every single week. You can scroll the whole thing on our before-and-after page.
Two to three real transformations. Every week. Where anyone can see them.
No stock photos. No borrowed cases. No cherry-picking one perfect result and running it for a year. Just our own work, published as we finish it.
The binder question, answered for good
Here is what changed once we started posting. That skeptical question mostly went away. People walk in now already having seen the work. They will say something like, “I saw the case you posted with the front teeth that stuck way out, that is basically me.” And we are off to the races, because the trust part is already done.
Whatever brought you in, odds are we have shown one like it. Crowding. Gaps. Deep overbites. Open bites, which are genuinely hard and I am proud of ours. Crossbites. Impacted teeth that had to be brought down into place. You get to see the result before you ever commit to anything.
You cannot fake this pace
I will be honest about why the volume matters, because it is not just a marketing thing. You cannot publish two or three finished cases a week unless you are actually finishing that many. And you cannot finish that many, done right, unless the whole practice is running clean underneath you. Planning, chair time, the follow-through at the end. If any of that drags, the cases do not close, and there is nothing to post.
So the feed is really a byproduct. It is what an efficient practice looks like from the outside.
Proof beats promises
Real results, out in public, every week. You do not have to take my word for any of it.
Number one for a reason
The most active before-and-after library of any practice in the area, and it keeps growing.
The pace is the tell
Finishing this many cases well only happens when the whole practice runs tight.
Nowhere to hide
Posting your work publicly keeps you honest. That is kind of the point.
The part I did not see coming
I thought the audience for these posts would be patients. Mostly it is. But then other orthodontists started sliding into my messages. Not to argue, to ask. How did you sequence that one? What mechanics did you use to close that open bite? Why did you go aligners there instead of braces?
I did not expect that, and I will admit it is one of my favorite parts now. When someone who does this same job for a living studies your case closely enough to ask a specific question about it, that tells you something the reviews never quite can. And I always answer. I would rather the whole field get better than sit on what we have figured out. That helps every patient eventually, not just mine.
Who is actually doing this work
Elate is my wife and me. Two doctors who care a little too much about this, in the best way.
Dr. Kevin Baharvand, DMD, MS
That is me. I am a board-certified orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, and I spend a good chunk of my year on the road lecturing to other orthodontists about practice management and clear aligner treatment. I have had a case on the cover of the AJO-DO, I sit on the Orthotown editorial board, and in 2026 I was named a D Magazine Best Dentist and a Living Magazine Readers’ Choice winner. Mostly I just really like finishing a hard case well.
Dr. Julia Kang, DMD
My wife, and the most efficient clinician I have ever watched work. She earned her DDS at Seoul National University and her DMD at Boston University, did an externship at Harvard, and is a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the dental honor society. She personally completes somewhere between 30 and 36 cases a month. I have stopped being surprised by it. She just does not leave loose ends.
Do not trust me. Watch.
Honestly, that is the whole pitch. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook and watch the cases roll in week after week. If ours is the kind of work you want done on your own smile, come see us.
