Stellar Orthodontics is a Delaware orthodontic practice with three orthodontists, four offices, and one promise: every patient leaves with a smile they're confident about. We are part of the Freedom Dental Health System, but every Stellar patient is cared for by a Stellar orthodontist - the same one, every visit.
A successful orthodontic case takes more than appliances. It takes expertise, technology that fits modern life, and convenience that respects your schedule. Stellar is built to deliver all three at every visit.
Dr. Can Nguyen is among fewer than one in three U.S. orthodontists who have voluntarily achieved board certification by the American Board of Orthodontics - the specialty's highest peer-reviewed credential. Dr. Robert Park and Dr. Sonal Dave round out a team committed to clinical excellence and continuing education.
3D iTero digital scanning replaces the goopy impressions you remember. You see a visual preview of your final smile before treatment begins. Modern brackets, lighter wires, and smarter treatment planning combine for faster, more comfortable treatment than what was possible even a decade ago.
Four offices spanning all three Delaware counties - North Wilmington, Middletown, West Dover, and Millsboro. From Brandywine Hundred to the Sussex beaches, Stellar is closer than you think. One brand, one standard of care, four Delaware addresses.
You see the same orthodontist at every appointment. No rotating cast. No "whoever's available." Three doctors gives the practice scheduling depth, sub-specialty range, and continuity of care - without making any single patient feel like a number.

Dr. Park's research on dental education and orthodontic materials has been published in dental journals, and he lectures local Delaware dentists on orthodontic best practices. He loves changing patients' lives one smile at a time.
American Board of Orthodontics certified · AAO · Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists · American Dental Association
Fewer than one in three U.S. orthodontists are board certified. Dr. Nguyen voluntarily completed the rigorous post-doctoral residency and peer-reviewed examinations required for the credential. He focuses on comprehensive treatment for all ages, with deep expertise in digital treatment planning, Invisalign, and self-ligating bracket systems.

The biggest changes in orthodontics in the past 15 years aren't the appliances - they're the digital infrastructure underneath the treatment plan. Stellar invests in the tools that make patient visits shorter, more comfortable, and more predictable.
You start with one Stellar orthodontist and see that same doctor at every appointment through retention. No rotating cast, no "whoever has openings." Continuity matters - especially across an 18- to 30-month treatment case.
Free consultation. We do a 3D iTero scan, design the plan, and hand you a printed estimate before you leave. The number you see is the number you pay, unless the treatment plan changes (which we always discuss with you first).
What's covered by insurance and what isn't is explained in plain language at the consultation. Replacement retainers, upgrade fees, financing terms - all priced transparently up front, never sprung on you later.
Insurance verification, Medicaid pre-authorization, financing applications - all handled by our team. You bring your child in and we handle the administrative work that makes orthodontic care actually accessible.
Every Stellar office is built for the patients we treat. Kids waiting for Phase 1 evaluations, teens between school and lacrosse practice, adults squeezing in lunchtime Invisalign check-ins. The waiting area works for all three.
(844) 727-2237 routes to a real person during business hours. Loose bracket, poking wire, scheduling question, billing question - you get a human, not a phone tree.
Stellar's four-office footprint spans all three Delaware counties. No other single-brand orthodontic practice in Delaware covers Wilmington, Middletown, Dover, AND Sussex County. If you live in Delaware, the closest Stellar office is probably within 20 minutes of your front door.

Millsboro office detailsThere are several orthodontic options available in Delaware. Here's an honest framing of how Stellar's model compares to the alternatives most families consider.
National DSO chains scale by standardizing - treatment plans built from templates, rotating providers, and front-desk staff who don't know your case. Stellar offers DSO-backed scale (we're part of the Freedom Dental Health System) without the DSO experience - the same Stellar orthodontist sees you every visit, and treatment plans are designed for your case, not a template.
Mail-order aligner companies ship trays without an in-person exam, without an orthodontist-designed plan, and without follow-up if something goes wrong. The clinical safety margin is not comparable. Stellar's Invisalign care includes physical exam, 3D scanning, an orthodontist-designed plan, in-person fittings, and in-person check-ins every 6 to 10 weeks.
Many Delaware private orthodontic offices are excellent - but they typically cover a single county and have a single provider. If your kid plays a sport, breaks a bracket on a Friday afternoon, and you live 45 minutes away, that's a problem. Stellar's four-office footprint, three-orthodontist roster, and statewide coverage solve that problem structurally.
The other alternative most families weigh: "We'll just wait." The case typically gets harder to treat over time, not easier. The free consultation tells you whether treatment is needed, how urgent it is, and what financing or coverage looks like - with no obligation to start. The honest answer might be "wait six months." Or it might be "now is the right window." Either way, you'll know.
