FRISCO, TEXAS — June 1, 2026 — Elate Orthodontics, the Frisco-area orthodontic practice serving families across West Frisco (75036), North Frisco/Hollyhock (75033), and The Colony (75056), is thrilled to announce that co-founder Dr. Kevin Baharvand was a featured speaker at Angel Aligner Ascend 2026 in New York City, where he delivered a high-energy presentation on how artificial intelligence is making orthodontic practices more efficient, more accurate, and more patient-centered than ever before.

The reception was outstanding. Clinicians from across North America packed the room to hear Dr. B walk through the practical, in-the-trenches ways AI tools are transforming daily orthodontic workflows, from automated treatment planning and predictive aligner staging to AI-assisted patient monitoring and intelligent practice management.

Conferences like Angel Aligner Ascend 2026 are not just professional milestones. They are how a forward-looking practice stays at the leading edge of patient care. Every protocol Dr. B refined in New York, every conversation he had with leading clinicians, and every emerging technology he evaluated comes back to North Texas with him.
