Maryland Advanced Orthodontics

I have to say… this has been a VERY long journey for our daughter. From the day I called and spoke to «Donna» the receptionist over 9 yrs ago, I knew I found the place for my daughter orthodontist needs. Dr. Lavine and his staff has ALWAYS been the most professional, personal and friendly from the very first visit. They have a beautiful new office and their hours are very «school» friendly. I have recommended them before and will recommend them now. You won’t be disappointed.

As an adult going back for antoher round of braces, I was a bit nervous and embaressed. I must say Dr. Lavine and his team made the entire experience nothing but wonderful and lovely and PAIN-​FREE in every aspect. I stumbled upon this office on Google and I am thrilled with how everything turned out.
From the moment I started my process up until the every end I had nothing bu an exceptionally amazing EASY BREEZY experience. Starting with Dr. Lavine and trickling down to the rest of the staff, everyone was sweet, personable, professional, educated, polite, I can go on and on. I think the most important aspect for me was how clean the office and staff were along with how everyone remembered stuff going on in my life. It was almost as if each appointment was a lunch date with an old friend! Except in this case, my teeth were getting straight with each passing week! They were courteous in setting up appointments and dealing with finances, especially considering my work schedule. I think the cooler part of all this was really learning about my teeth and how much they moved with each passing tray.
Additionally they were wonderful when I had to travel abroad for an extended period of time. They supplied me with all the necessary trays and kept in touch with me!
Overall the experience was nothing less than PERFECT! I highly suggest anyone in the area looking to get braces or invisalign to check out this office!!!

So far, so good!
Ever wonder what heaven would be like?
Well MAO properly isnt anything like heaven BUT from what my tiny mind can boggle it would be A-​OK if it ran like MAO.
Its just the most easy breeziest orthodontist office I have ever been to. Nothing is ever a hassle. You just walk in to your appointment, self check in, see Dr. Lavine who reminds me of Robin Williams (oh the tears of a clown) and he is nice, friendly straight forward. No attitudes. He isnt short or curt. He spends time with you. Everything is state of the art. Its just really easy.
They are open late! Convenient hours. I just couldnt ask for anything better.
Im only on appointment # 3 appt #4 I will get my first invisalign trays. After my treatment is complete I will come back and review. But so far so good!

I recommend this practice without reservation. I have had experience with all of the staff at their Gaitherburg location and they have always demonstrated themselves to be professional and competent. I am an adult patient and they have made the experience enjoyable over the past 2 and ½ years. They took time to educate me about what to expect throughout the process and they delivered in the end. My braces are off and I couldn’t be happier with the result. My daughter is starting to work with them now and my next daughter will go there if needed too.

I also have nothing but great things to say about this practice. I bought myself braces for my 25^th birthday, so I had some concerns about looking like Ugly Betty. Dr. Lavine and his team made this experience the best it possibly could have been. The staff are always very friendly, not just with patients, but with each other as well. There’s a very warm atmosphere, and the practice does a very good job of making itself kid friendly while also making adults comfortable as well. Also, I always felt that the expertise involved was top notch. I had my braces for three years, and I never once questioned the abilities of any staff member.
I was thrilled to get my braces off, but now I know I’m going to miss Dr. Lavine and his team. No, that does not mean I’m going to skip wearing my retainer so I can go back! :)

I have nothing but good things to say about this practice, starting from Dr. Lavine, who is so personable and knowledgeable, he, definitely knows how to make you feel comfortable.
His staff is just wonderful and friendly and always upbeat, they make you feel like you’re a part of them and not just a patient, when it comes to answering questions they are on point and are ready to answer no matter what type of question or concern you have.
I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking to walk out with a beautiful smile in the end!

I researched a number of Orthodontist practices and I am very impressed with Maryland Advanced Orthodontics.
Dr. Lavine and his staff are always friendly, professional, and talented. My two children each have braces and I have them as well. Dr. Lavine took the time to explain the procedures, answered all my questions, and really shared with me a plan on what to expect.
I highly recommend this practice and have told many of my friends as well.
