When it comes to straightening your teeth or your child’s smile, choosing the right orthodontist makes all the difference. At Crystal Lake Family Dentistry, Leander families have access to something truly special: board-certified orthodontist Dr. Akli, who brings world-class training and expertise right here to our community.
Meet Dr. Akli: Board-Certified Excellence in Orthodontics
Not all orthodontic providers are created equal. Dr. Akli stands out with credentials that place him among the elite in his field:
- Board-certified orthodontist — requiring years of specialized training and rigorous examination
- Graduated first in his class from the University of Athens School of Dentistry
- Master’s degree in Orthodontics from Saint Louis University, one of America’s most respected programs
- Extensive experience with both traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners
What Does “Board-Certified” Really Mean?
A board-certified orthodontist has completed 2-3 additional years of specialized residency training exclusively in tooth movement, jaw alignment, and facial development. This means more predictable results, shorter treatment times, and expertise handling even the most challenging orthodontic issues.
Traditional Braces vs. Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?
Dr. Akli is an expert in both treatment options and will help you choose based on your specific needs.
🦷 Traditional Braces

When Should My Child See an Orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, Dr. Akli can:
- Identify potential jaw growth issues early
- Determine if early intervention could prevent more extensive treatment later
- Monitor dental development and eruption patterns
- Create a customized treatment timeline
Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment — but it ensures we catch any issues at the optimal time.
