Office Manager & Treatment Coordinator
I like the friendships that grow between the patients, their families, and me. I look forward to their visits as a time to see how their smile is progressing and hear the latest news. Witnessing the changes in a person’s self-esteem and watching their confidence grow never gets old. I love seeing the final, beautiful smiles, and each patient’s excitement.
I have a beautiful wife named Lissette. We have four kids, three daughters and one son. We spend most of our weekends at the soccer fields all over Southern California. If you see us, say hi! I also have a pack of beautiful show Rottweilers that keeps our daughters busy as well.

I love orthodontics! It has been a pleasure to be a part of Apple Valley Orthodontics for the past ten years. Our patients’ happiness is what matters most to each and every one of us. Every day, we get to help improve our patients’ smiles, help build confidence, and elevate their overall oral health. It is so rewarding to give these patients the smiles they want and deserve. Their smiles are my inspiration!
Being with my family and friends is my priority when I’m not working. I have two wonderful sons and a pet named Misty. I enjoy taking my kids to their sports activities and doing crafts, as well as spending time with my friends and family and traveling.

Registered Dental Assistant
Hi! I graduated from San Joaquin Valley College dental assistant program and joined Apple Valley Ortho in 2021. I love working here! Everyone is so nice and Dr. Velez is an amazing orthodontist and person. I enjoy seeing our patients experience their smiles changing and them being so happy with their final smile.
On my days off, I like to hang out with my family, play video games, and watch movies.

Hello, My name is Aries, I love being a part of the Apple Valley Orthodontics team! Getting to experience how awesome it is to be able to meet new people, and welcome back familiar faces in our office has been so rewarding. The feeling of helping our patients feel confident, secure, and happy with their service here at Apple Valley Orthodontics is what motivates me to do my very best when it comes to delivering a friendly first experience for our patients. Seeing beautiful smiles being made is what I’d count as a job well done!
When it comes to after work and my days off, I enjoy spending time with my family, my cat Cleo, and catching up on my reading or watching Anime!
