Vijay Bhagia
Dr. Vijay Bhagia

Dr. Bhagia is driven by a deep passion to make a positive impact on the lives of others, which led him to pursue a career as an orthodontist. As a board-certified orthodontist, an achievement attained by only a select few, and ranking as a top 1% Invisalign provider, he has played a pivotal role in crafting over 15,000 healthy and confident smiles in the greater Houston area since 2001.

His educational journey included studying dentistry at Boston University School of Dental Medicine, followed by the completion of his M.S. in Orthodontics at the University of Detroit Mercy. Dr. Bhagia firmly believes in the transformative power of a healthy, beautiful smile, recognizing its profound impact on his patients’ self-esteem and self-confidence.

Driven by a commitment to delivering the highest standard of orthodontic care, Dr. Bhagia stays abreast of the latest advancements in the field. Serving as a faculty member for Invisalign Global Faculty, he shares his expertise by lecturing to fellow dentists and orthodontists, both locally and internationally.

A respected figure in his profession, Dr. Bhagia has contributed to the field by serving as a Director for the Texas Association of Orthodontics (TAO) and maintaining active membership in various orthodontic and dental organizations.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Dr. Bhagia cherishes quality time with his loving family. As a son, husband, brother, uncle, and father to two wonderful children, he actively engages in the community. Whether cheering on his children in their sports endeavors, exploring new destinations, enjoying a round of golf or biking, or fulfilling his role as a devoted dog dad to their cavapoo named Tofu, Dr. Bhagia finds fulfillment in both his personal and professional life.

Dr. Sleiman Elias

Dr. Sleiman Elias became an orthodontist with a clear mission: to create confident, beautiful smiles while delivering a positive, memorable experience for every patient who walks through his doors.

A proud Houston native, Dr. Elias ventured to Boston to attend the prestigious Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he completed his dental and orthodontic training. During his time at Tufts, he was elected class president of a cohort of over 200 students, distinguishing himself not only academically and clinically, but also through his commitment to community involvement — all while enduring the chilly New England weather and some tough sports seasons.

Drawn back to his Texas roots, Dr. Elias returned to Houston to be closer to family and to serve the local community with his expertise in orthodontics. He remains deeply committed to staying at the forefront of his field by regularly attending conferences, lectures, and professional meetings — ensuring that his practice incorporates the latest technologies and treatment advances.

Outside the office, Dr. Elias enjoys spending time with his family, catching a game (or playing in one), and exploring Houston’s vibrant food scene. He’s also passionate about giving back and has volunteered as a Special Olympics coach since his undergraduate days at Baylor University.

Dr. Elias looks forward to welcoming you to the practice and helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted — with care, comfort, and confidence.
