Orthodontics bridges dental health with long-term confidence, addressing alignment and bite issues across all ages. Chris E. Tsintolas, D.D.S., M.S. operates a practice in Gaithersburg, offering specialized care for those navigating braces, retainers, or jaw realignment. The office sits at 903 Russell Ave #101, a short drive from the Rio Washingtonian Center and Crown Farm’s mixed-use hub. Orthodontic treatment often spans months or years, so proximity to daily routes—schools, work, or errands—can simplify regular adjustments.

Correcting misalignments isn’t just cosmetic; it can ease speech difficulties, reduce wear on teeth, and even alleviate chronic headaches. Traditional metal braces remain a staple, but modern alternatives like ceramic brackets or clear aligners cater to different lifestyles. Adults and teens alike may prioritize discretion, while younger children sometimes benefit from early interceptive treatments. Gaithersburg’s growth has made specialized care more accessible, and a practice like this fits into the area’s expanding healthcare network.

Scheduling an initial consultation usually starts with a call—(301) 948-7513 connects directly to the office for appointments or questions about treatment options. First visits often involve X-rays, mold impressions, and a discussion of timelines, so setting aside an hour can help. Some patients arrive with referrals from general dentists; others seek solutions after noticing crowding or gaps on their own. Either way, orthodontic work is a collaboration between practitioner and patient.

The intersection of Russell Avenue and Washingtonian Boulevard places this office near several transit stops and major roads. For those mapping the route, directions are straightforward—whether coming from I-270 or the Shady Grove Metro area. Parking in the plaza is shared with other businesses, so weekdays before noon might see more activity. Orthodontic care is a commitment, but the location aims to reduce logistical friction.
