For Immediate Release · Patient Testimonial
FRISCO, Texas (August 13, 2026). Elate Orthodontics has released a new patient testimonial video featuring Marinda, a local business owner from the McKinney area, who talks candidly about her decision to start clear aligner treatment at Elate and what the experience has been like along the way.
Why she chose Elate for clear aligners in Frisco
In the video, Marinda explains what led her to Elate after looking at her options among orthodontists in Frisco. As someone who works with clients face to face every day, she wanted treatment that fit into a busy schedule and looked natural while it was underway. Clear aligners made sense for that, and the practice’s approach is what convinced her to move forward. She points to the way the team walked her through the plan up front, kept appointments efficient, and made the whole process feel straightforward rather than intimidating.
Her story is a familiar one for adults weighing orthodontic treatment later in life. Many assume braces and aligners are only for teenagers, or worry that treatment will be disruptive. Marinda’s experience pushes back on both ideas. She describes a process that fit around her work rather than interrupting it, and results she’s genuinely happy with.
“Hearing directly from patients like Marinda means more than anything we could say about ourselves,” said Dr. Kevin Baharvand, DMD, MS, Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and the orthodontist who leads Elate alongside Dr. Julia Kang. “Every patient’s situation is a little different. When someone takes the time to share how treatment actually fit into their life, it helps the next person picture what’s possible for them.”
The video is part of an ongoing effort by Elate Orthodontics to let real patients describe their care in their own words. The practice serves families across the area from three offices, two in Frisco and one in The Colony, and treats every age and stage, from early evaluations for children to adult treatment with braces and clear aligners.
