Meet The Team

After graduating with honors from the University of California, Dr. Chelian moved to the east coast to pursue dental school at Howard University, in Washington, DC. This is where he met his wife, Tirza Valenzuela, who is originally from Chile but grew up in North Jersey. He and his wife moved to Las Vegas, NV where he completed his orthodontic specialty residency at Roseman University and practiced orthodontics in Nevada and Arizona. After living in the desert, far from family for nearly 7 years he decided to move closer to family in Northern New Jersey and Boston.

Our practice has been established in Union City, New Jersey for over 30 years and was founded by Dr. Gary Weitz whom Dr. Chelian worked alongside till Dr. Weitz’s retirement in 2017. Dr. Chelian is honored to treat generations of families who have trusted our practice for nearly 40 years.

Outside of the office he enjoys traveling, hiking, reading, and trying new restaurants. He learned to cook at an early age and still finds it a relaxing hobby which he does often for friends and family. His goal for 2024 is to eat healthier and get better at speaking Spanish. He lives in Northern New Jersey with his wife Tirza and their 9-year-old daughter, Dalia, his 6-year-old daughter, Dasha, and 7 month old baby girl, Dessa.

Dr. Chelian prides himself on providing exceptional clinical outcomes in a friendly and comfortable environment. He is committed to educating and communicating treatment goals to his patients and loved ones. In our office, orthodontic treatment is more than straight teeth. We believe that a great smile can increase confidence and change lives.
