About Nelson Family Orthodontics
We are located in a beautiful medical office building just off of San Marcos Blvd., a half mile east of San Marcos High School in San Marcos, California. Our office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and you’ll enjoy an extra dose of vitamin D from all the natural light pouring in from the windows. Doesn’t that sound nice? It is – we promise!
With all the options for orthodontic treatment out there, let us be the first to say that you’ve found the right place! Dr. Zachary D. Nelson is a highly-trained orthodontist who loves his job.

At Nelson Family Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on providing up-to-date, high-quality, affordable orthodontic care. Dr. Nelson specializes in traditional and clear braces, clear aligners for kids, teens, and adults, and proudly uses the cutting-edge and highly successful Damon system of brackets to treat his patients.
