I spent 9+ years of my childhood in braces and my former orthodontist left a permanent bar cemented behind my front two teeth. On my honeymoon I bit into a sandwich and this bar broke. Over the next week a giant gap appeared between my front two teeth causing my teeth to shift instantaneously. February 2012 I visited the office of Doctor Avila at Sublime Smiles in Rockville, MD. After a brief consultation they developed a plan to correct my gap. We discussed payment, signed a contract, and took impressions to get started. Getting started was a really easy process! I began Invisalign in March 2012 and just 9 months later I have my perfect smile back!!! Doctor Avila's staff is friendly, professional, and they all have the most upbeat attitudes. This is the first time in 30 years I have been to a Doctor's office where I did not experience a long wait time. Each visit I would arrive at the time of my scheduled appointment or a few minutes early and I was being helped within 2-3 minutes tops. The staff always called the day prior to remind me of my appointment so that helped too. For anyone who is considering correcting their teeth I highly recommend Dr. Avila and Staff! If you are weighing your options between traditional braces and Invisalign, I advise you to go with the Invisalign treatment, as it is virtually painless and less time consuming of a process. Thank you Sublime Smiles for giving me confidence when I smile read more

Doctor Avila and his staff are very professional, polite, and accommodating when it is possible. Dr. Avila has great communications skills and know how to talk to each customer, kids, teens and adults. I had an overbite and two of my lower teeth were a little crooked. I opted for Invisalign, which in my opinion, is preferred treatment option for adults. I have been wearing braces for almost two year, and now my treatment is almost over. My teeth are straight, but the difference with overbite before Invisalign and after is not as visible, as say with crooked teeth. But I see this treatment not only as cosmetic, but also as health related. My dentist said that correct bite helps prevent some dental issues. Moreover, I am grinding my teeth when I sleep, and the braces protect my teeth. One word of caution for any orthodontic treatment: you should not expect results overnight. It is a long process, which requires commitment not only from a doctor, but from a patient on the first place. For example, with Invisalign, you need to wear braces at least 20 hours a day (22 is better). You cannot eat or drink with them (except water). You will need to brush teeth after each meal and drink, meaning you need to carry brushing set with you everywhere. Don't make decision about Invisalign lightly, and if you started it, follow through. I will recommend Dr. Avila's office to my friends and to people who are reading this review. read more

Dr. Avila and his staff are absolutely FANTASTIC! I wasted $500 at Dr. Norkiewicz's office at state of the art dental. Never go to someone who is not an orthodontist for Invisalign treatment. They do not have sufficient training or knowledge! Dr. Avila and his wife Amanda (who is the patient coordinator) understood my concerns during my initial visit. They were so knowledgeable and I left the FREE consultation with confidence. Amanda worked with me on the pricing, allowed me to make monthly affordable payments with no interest. My treatment is estimated to be 12 months, I have 2 more months left and I am absolutely happy with how results are turning out. Also, Dr. Avila is willing to shave my teeth down to fix the un-smooth edges at the end of treatment so it will look almost perfect! More pros: -Staff is great and friendly, ALWAYS -I am usually in and out of the office 10-15 minutes unless I break a bracket -Dr. Avila resembles Keanu Reeves -Appointments are very easy to make -Dr. Avila has time to see you every visit -Very open to any concerns I had I am recommending my friend who bought an Invisalign living social deal (don't get buy those) to come see Dr. Avila bc she is not happy with her treatment. Remember, always go to an orthodontist for Invisalign & you get what you pay for! If you're paying to get something fixed, you mind as well pay good money for it to be perfection! read more

Going to the orthodontist was a part of my childhood. I was overjoyed when my braces came off but I stopped wearing my retainers after high school. This is one of my biggest regrets! Through the years my teeth shifted and became crowded. After talking to my dentist, I decided that braces were the best option to fix my teeth. I moved away from my hometown so I could no longer go to the Orthodontist I had known as a child. I didn't want a mouth full of metal like my teenage years so I went to the Invisalign website and found Dr. Avila. I checked out the Sublime Smiles website and immediately scheduled an appointment. Their hours work well with my work schedule (they even have Saturday appointments) and I never have to wait to be seen even when I get to the office much earlier than my scheduled time. I'm almost done with my treatment and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend this practice. The orthodontist that my dentist recommended wanted to push me into traditional braces and didn't seem to care about me as a patient. This is not the case with Dr. Avila. The staff is warm and welcoming and truly care about what is happening in their patient's lives. I think my teeth look better now than when I was 15 and got my braces off for the first time! Shh--just don't tell my Orthodontist back home! read more

My three teenagers got their braces within months of each other at Sublime Smiles in the Kentlands. What could have been a traumatic year with check ups, adjustments and broken brackets has turned out to be a painless and easy process! Dr. Avila is highly accessible with a comforting personality; his staff is very responsive and professional. Even the financial manager is welcoming and efficient. They always manage to schedule my three kids on the same day, so there is no eternal running back and forth for orthodontist appointments! The kids' future smiles are progressing nicely and we have Dr. Avila and his staff to thank. read more

Dr. Eduardo and his staff are awesome! I was there a year ago with my daughter and we weren't able to get the braces due to personal reasons. A year later they still remembered us and treated us like family. My wife speaks Spanish and the Doc even takes the time to go back and translate the whole plan of action so she could understand. My family is truly luck to of found Dr. Eduardo and his team! Great location and great staff. And even great payment options! David C. father of Andrea H read more

I have already recommended them to several friends. They and their children are very happy with Dr. Avila's work and great bed-side manners. read more
