Meet Dr. David Elsharouny, Your Garden City Orthodontist
Choosing an orthodontist means trusting someone with years of your smile, your comfort, and your confidence.
For many families and adults in Garden City, that decision comes down to more than just a treatment plan.
It comes down to knowing who is actually behind the care, how they think about your case, and whether their
approach matches the kind of experience you want from start to finish.
At Elite Orthodontics Studio,
that person is Dr. David Elsharouny. He founded the practice to feel calm, modern, and collaborative
rather than clinical, and his own background in orthodontic education and patient care shapes nearly
every part of how the studio runs.
Education and Orthodontic Training
Dr. Elsharouny earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Stony Brook University School of Dental
Medicine before completing advanced specialty training in orthodontics at the Jacksonville University
School of Orthodontics. That combination of general dental education and focused orthodontic residency
gave him a strong foundation in both the mechanics of tooth movement and the broader picture of oral health.
This training also shaped how he thinks about the specialty itself. Rather than treating orthodontics as
a one-size-fits-all process, he sees it as a collaborative journey between patients, families, and the
treatment team. That mindset carries into every consultation at his
Garden City orthodontic practice,
where treatment plans are built around each patient’s specific goals rather than a standard template.
A Patient-Centered Approach to Care
Every patient who sits in Dr. Elsharouny’s chair brings a different set of priorities. Some are parents
weighing timelines around school and sports. Others are adults balancing treatment with a busy work
schedule. He works to understand those priorities early, then builds a plan that fits real life rather
than asking patients to fit the plan.
That means clear communication about what to expect at each stage, honest conversations about costs and
timelines, and a willingness to adjust course when a patient’s circumstances change. The goal is a
treatment plan that feels personal, efficient, and empowering rather than one more medical appointment
to get through.
Advanced Technology in Every Treatment Plan
Dr. Elsharouny incorporates advanced 3D planning, digital imaging, and in-house 3D printing technology
throughout treatment, from the first scan to the final retainer. This digital workflow allows him to
visualize how a case will progress before treatment even begins, which supports more predictable
outcomes and fewer surprises along the way.
Research backs up the value of this approach. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis on
3D printing and CAD/CAM technology in orthodontic care
found that digital workflows were associated with significantly shorter treatment times and strong
outcomes in accuracy and clinical feasibility compared to traditional methods. That kind of precision is
part of why Dr. Elsharouny continues to invest in updated digital tools rather than relying solely on
conventional impressions and models.
Dr. Elsharouny is also one of very few providers in New York offering
C5 hidden lingual orthodontics,
a fully customized system that straightens teeth from behind so braces stay completely out of sight.
It’s a core differentiator of his practice, and for patients who want effective treatment without any
visible hardware, it’s often the first option he discusses.
For patients who prefer clear aligners, Dr. Elsharouny is credentialed to offer both
Invisalign and
Angel Aligners,
giving patients a choice between two leading clear aligner systems based on whatever fits their case
and lifestyle best.
Life Outside the Practice
Outside the studio, Dr. Elsharouny spends his time with his wife and their children, exploring new
places and discovering the foods and cultures that shape their family’s story. Elite Orthodontics Studio
holds particular meaning for him because it represents not only his own path in orthodontics but also
his marriage to Dr. Si Cindy Shi, who leads
Elite Endodontics Studio in the same space.
Together, the two practices reflect a shared philosophy of compassionate, patient-first care under one roof.
What to Expect When You Visit
Walking into a new orthodontic office can feel uncertain, especially if you are not sure what the first
visit involves. A visit to Elite Orthodontics Studio generally includes a few key steps designed to make
that first impression easy and informative.
Your first conversation
A conversation about your goals, concerns, and any questions you have as a new patient.
Digital imaging & recommendations
Digital imaging and a personalized treatment recommendation, including options like Invisalign in Garden City and Angel Aligners.
Clear costs & coverage
A clear breakdown of costs, insurance coverage, and financing options before you commit to treatment.
These steps are meant to remove guesswork so you leave the first appointment with a real understanding of
your options, not just a list of next steps. Many families also look at the practice’s
results and reviews before that
first visit to get a sense of what other patients have experienced.
