Santelli Orthodontics…Creating Healthy and Beautiful Smiles
By Krista Martinelli
When you meet orthodontist Dr. Brad Santelli, you can tell right away that he truly loves what he does. When you hear from his patients and see their new smiles, you know right away that he’s good at what he does. “I love having the ability to create a positive change in someone’s life,” he says. “Having a beautiful smile translates into every aspect of a person’s life and gives the person greater confidence!”
Santelli’s own positive attitude carries through to his patients’ experiences. As one Mom explains, “I finally found a 5-Star orthodontist in South Florida!… I had heard excellent reviews from friends about him before I took my son to him and now I can see why. Wonderful personal attention and care. He makes everyone feel so comfortable and never rushes. He knows what he is doing and his finished work is beautiful.”
With a new office in Wellington (located in Palomino Park) and another office in Boca Raton, Santelli Orthodontics is expanding their practice and now able to see more patients. In Wellington, Dr. Santelli’s office has a beach, surfing theme and is a very bright, welcoming space. The beautiful facility is high-tech as well, with its state-of-the-art equipment and ten iPads loaded with lots of games.
Santelli Orthodontics is a fully computerized, paperless office, offering the best in digital radiation and orthodontic technology. Dr. Santelli is an elite Invisalign® and Teen Invisalign® provider, ranked in the Top 1% of providers worldwide. Thanks to the latest in orthodontic technology, teeth can move faster into place, allowing patients to finish with quicker treatment times.

Dr. Santelli offers a free consultation or free second opinion. The average age of patients needing braces is between 8 and 16, although he sees many adult patients too. Some patients are missing teeth, have teeth that have changed position, suffer from TMJ or simply want to create a nice smile.
One of the keys to making patients feel at ease is having a kind and friendly staff. They show the patient exactly what’s about to happen before it happens. “I have the best staff in the world,” says Dr. Santelli. “They are vivacious and caring!”
When a parent is considering the options, “I often ask myself, ‘what would I do for my own child?’” says Dr. Santelli. It’s a good rule of thumb and helps when parents are deciding on the best possible orthodontic plan for their children.
There are many different kinds of braces to choose from – metal braces, clear braces, Damon® Clear brackets, Damon Q® braces and Invisalign®. Read more about these options on the Santelli Orthodontics website. While the metal braces are still widely used, the clear variety of braces is becoming increasingly popular. Removable braces are also ideal for those who have milder cases of misaligned teeth.
In his office, they are good about taking “before” and “after” photos of each patient’s smile. He posts these on Facebook, with the permission of his patients, in an ongoing album called “Welcome to the braces club!” You can like Santelli Orthodontics on Facebook and then enter in their current contest to win an iPad mini.
Dr. Brad Santelli lives with his wife (who is originally from Brazil) and his 15-month-old son. In his spare time, he enjoys lifting weights, running, playing golf and basketball.
He has known that he would become an orthodontist since he was a Freshman in high school. “I love what I do! To me, it’s more satisfying than dentistry. You get to change people’s smiles and change their lives!”
