At Ellie Orthodontics in San Clemente and Rancho Mission Viejo, everything we do begins with joy and ends in confidence. We go beyond straightening teeth. We look at how your smile, jaw, and breathing work together. From your first visit to your final appointment, our values guide every smile we create: kindness, precision, and connection.
Kindness-first, Gentle Care

Customized with Precision
We design every plan with the perfect blend of science and aesthetics, so your smile works beautifully and looks radiant. No cookie-cutter treatments here. Every recommendation is tailored to your unique goals, anatomy, and lifestyle.
Community-Focused
We're committed to serving South Orange County families one smile at a time. Our patients come from San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, Ladera Ranch, Rancho Mission Viejo, and throughout the region.

About Ellie

Dr. Ellie Bennett is a board-certified orthodontist serving San Clemente, Rancho Mission Viejo, and all of South Orange County. She believes that straight teeth are more than just aesthetics—they're a gateway to joy, confidence, and connection.

Dr. Ellie completed her orthodontic residency and has specialized training in airway-focused orthodontics, making her uniquely qualified to identify and treat breathing-related issues alongside traditional alignment concerns. Her approach considers the whole patient: how teeth align, how jaws develop, and how breathing affects overall health.

With a background in advanced orthodontic techniques, a heart for people, and a legacy of family dental care in Orange County, Dr. Ellie brings warmth and clinical expertise to every visit. She is passionate about treating patients of all ages—from early intervention for children to adult braces and Invisalign.
