Orthodontists in Houston

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.
