I received excellent and reasonably priced treatment for realigning my upper and lower teeth to not hit (and prevent damage!) - and it was always such a nice experience. Good people who really care and really know their stuff. Whether you wind up primarily seeing the fabulous Dr. Mina or Dr. Bob (what a card!), you can't go wrong. Also loved that they can make their own "Invisilign," which is a more approachable option and works all the same. Also, the parking garage at 1160 19th St. NW is super close, very reasonable on Spot Hero, and likewise, super nice folks!! Cannot recommend Kumra enough! (DC-location patient).

Dr. Schwartz is a great orthodontist and I would highly recommend his practice. He and his staff at…read moreCapitol Orthodontics provided excellent advice on selecting the most suitable orthodontic treatment for my needs. Following several consultations with other (three) orthodontists in the area for my specific situation, I am now glad to say that I made a good decision to have Dr. Schwartz as my doctor. Dr. Schwartz is very talented orthodontist who cares about his patients and was always open to answer any questions that I had about my treatment. His practice uses state-of-the art innovative orthodontic technologies. Financial payments options presented by his staff were clear to understand and everyone at his office was very professional, super nice and ready to help. After he took off my braces, I was very pleased with the final results of the treatment! I would highly recommend his practice without reservations.

He is patient, kind, professional, and truly cares about his patients. Nina and the other dental assistants are also outstanding. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and consistently provide excellent care. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk, specifically Tifani Lively, changed my overall impression of the practice. Over time, her professionalism declined, and she repeatedly blurred the line between personal and professional interactions. On one occasion, she used my personal phone number, which was provided for my patient records, to contact me about personal matters unrelated to my treatment. After that, she contacted me several more times about personal matters. I chose not to respond to those communications because I wanted to keep our interactions strictly professional and limited to my care as a patient. I found this repeated contact to be highly inappropriate and a serious violation of my privacy. During another visit, while I was at the front desk scheduling my next appointment as instructed, she began discussing personal matters with me that had nothing to do with my care. This conversation took place during business hours and in front of other patients, making the interaction uncomfortable, unprofessional, and at times somewhat hostile in tone. I was scheduled for a retainer checkup on 8/5/2026 and confirmed my appointment the week before. Then, on 8/3/2026, I received a text message stating that my appointment had been canceled. No explanation was provided, and there was no attempt to reschedule. Given the repeated inappropriate personal contact over the weekend and the hostile nature of our most recent interaction, I am concerned that my appointment may have been canceled for reasons unrelated to my care and without Dr. Schwartz's knowledge. While I cannot confirm that this is what happened, the timing raises legitimate concerns. It is disappointing that the actions of one staff member overshadowed what was otherwise an excellent experience with Dr. Schwartz and the clinical team. I hope the practice takes these concerns seriously and reviews its policies regarding professionalism, patient privacy, and appropriate use of patient information so that no other patient has a similar experience.

I am writing to express my immense gratification for the amazing orthodontic work you performed on…read moremy smile starting in 2012 and continuing to this very day four years later. I came to see you after a Google search for "best orthodontist in Washington, DC" - you were the first and only orthodontist that I visited for a consultation. I was convinced immediately that you could handle my orthodontic issues by your informational consultation and the benevolent staff of Shefferman Orthodontics (I absolutely love Marie - she is the best!). I came to you at the ripe age of 35 with a pronounced diastema (a space or gap between two teeth) located between my front upper teeth and smaller ones between my lower teeth. I never liked having a gap between my front two teeth; it has always been a cause of embarrassment and dismay for me even though I have always been told that I was attractive and that the gap "fit me". I choose to be fitted with metal braces that had clear brackets on the front upper and lower teeth although you gave me the option to choose Invisalign if I wanted a less noticeable solution. To address my fears about my gap opening back up after removal of my braces, you also decided to install a permanent retainer behind my upper front teeth. The 22 months that I was treated were a breeze! I had very little discomfort, reassuring visits and affordable payment options. I actually kind of miss my braces sometimes. I am also very satisfied with the aftercare you provided me (included in the price of the orthodontic treatment) - I have made consistent 6 month visits since December of 2014 and you have only recently released me once you were confident that my smile was stable. I am a changed woman - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new smile! I honestly feel as though now I am who I was meant to be and my smile looks how it was meant to look. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who wants a perfected smile to trust Dr. Shefferman and his staff!

Many of these orthodontists now have super busy offices, seeing 80 plus patients a day. These types of practices can leave you feeling a bit confused because no one has time to really talk with you due to so many patients. Dr Sheferrman, even though I only saw him for a consultation and not treatment, doesn't have that style of a practice. The others are not bad, it just depends on your patient-style as to what you prefer in an orthodontist. Adult patients normally are more interactive than child patients and Dr Shefferman has a majority of adults.

Updated Review - Hindsight Is 20/20: Buyer Beware…read more Looking back several years after completing treatment, I feel it's important to share my experience. My orthodontic results lasted only about 2-3 years after my braces were removed. After that, my teeth gradually shifted and gaps began to form, despite wearing my retainers exactly as instructed. When I returned to discuss the issue, I was disappointed that there were no meaningful solutions offered other than paying for additional treatment or purchasing new retainers. The retainers themselves were another frustration. I paid approximately $600 for each set, yet both broke much sooner than expected. When I contacted the office about a newly purchased retainer that appeared to be defective, I was told through the receptionist to see my local dentist instead. That response left me feeling dismissed, especially since the problem involved a retainer made by their office. Once my treatment was complete, I felt there was very little support when problems developed that were related to my orthodontic care. While the office staff was always willing to schedule appointments, my concerns ultimately weren't resolved, and I was left feeling that the only options presented involved spending more money. The office itself is attractive and offers plenty of extras, but I personally felt that those amenities were reflected in the overall cost of treatment rather than the long-term quality of care. In addition, parking is very limited and inconvenient, making appointments more difficult and expensive. Everyone's experience may be different, but mine was disappointing. I recommend researching your orthodontist carefully and considering not only the treatment process but also the level of long-term support you'll receive if problems arise after treatment. 2017 Initial Review: So excited I found VCO via google online. I had just moved and was in the middle of treatment for my existing braces, and she was one of very few who would take me in & continue my treatments. (Most orthodonists dont like to take on patients who already have braces) Her office is very clean, fun, eclectic and modern! Chrissy is wonderful, and she makes me feel comfortable to trust her with achieving my goals of a beautiful smile and straighter teeth. My monthly visits are quick and easy. They get me in and out. Chrissy always addresses my concerns, whether it's in person, email, or phone. Im excited to see my results in Nov - Dec timeframe!!.

Unfortunately, my experience has been nothing short of disappointing and end up with tears. She told me I need extraction of (6) teeth removal and recommended me surgery for the baby tooth and for canines for that which I paid 4,500$ at that time and the surgeon was also confused and asked me why she needed to remove the canines and I said I don't know I remember he called and asked her even if I don't know what she said to him he did the surgery and it was One of the most devastating aspects of my treatment unnecessary removal of both of my canines. I want to remind everyone i didn't ask any opinion from any other orthodontist or went anywhere before going to her which I regret everyday. During consultation she told me I will done my treatment in 2 years but it took her 4 years because their were big gaps and she was having hard time closing it I wore the brace 2years and then retainers 8month and that doesn't work too I go back to braces again for 1year ‍‍‍ it was really painful time for me. I was led to believe that this was the best course of action, only to later learn from another orthodontist that it was completely unnecessary. Instead of addressing my dental concerns properly--such as removing my wisdom teeth, which should have been the priority--the wrong teeth were extracted, leaving me with long-term consequences my face structure changed my jaw line is gone end up flat chin and so so many things. Even if I state my concern multiple times to Dr.Patrice with tears I was ignored and avoided. Throughout the process, it became clear that the orthodontist lacked the proper knowledge and expertise to handle my case. As a result, I have been left with a painful bite, an excessive gummy smile, and significant regret. Beyond the physical issues, I also felt misled--key aspects of my treatment were not fully explained, and I was not informed of the potential risks or alternative options. Had I been given accurate information, I would have made very different decisions about my teeth. Now, I am dealing with insecurities by my smile very discomfort and emotional distress, knowing that even if I will likely need corrective treatment elsewhere to fix my smile again the orthodontist I went after I done my treatment with her they told me they can't do nothing about it now because the damage is done already. I strongly advise anyone considering orthodontic care to do thorough research, seek multiple opinions, and ask detailed questions before committing to treatment here. Orthodontic work has long-term effects, and a poor treatment plan can have irreversible consequences. I wouldn't want anyone else to experience the frustration, pain, and regret that I am now facing. I waisted 4 years with hopes of having a beautiful smile and waisted 12,000$ for nothing. Other than that , Yeah they have nice neat place .

If I could leave her 5 stars I would. Unfortunately the great experience stopped there. Post root canal I sought treament from Dr. Sbeih for clenching/grinding to prevent more cracked teeth. He gave me a custom built night guard. After 3 months I came back complaining that the nightguard was making things worse, changing my bite and making my teeth clench worse. Dr. Sbeih told me I am too young for botox (24yo) and that is the only treatment option, other than going back to my retainer (which I wore when I cracked the tooth)! He felt my masseter muscles and laughed and said it was crazy how large they are and how much I'm clenching. Called the nurse over to feel them too. This experience was so upsetting, unprofessional, and frankly embarrassing. I practically begged him for some kind of treatment or relief and was laughed at and sent away. Trust me, I argued multiple times that if I go back to my retainer I'd crack another tooth. After this I cancelled all future appointments and was asked why via text, I replied to let them know how I felt... and never even got a response. This was 6 months ago, but I wanted to post my review now because the damage has been lasting and tremendous. I'm now seeing 3 different specialists for TMJ disorder and paying thousands trying to reverse months worth of damage that Dr. Sbeih has caused me. My quality of life is not the same.
