So you can't just pop in with him for a quick fix of anything - you'll likely have to wait several days. And he splits his time with his other office in VA. They all seem on pins and needles whenever they have to interact with him. He seems cold and demeaning towards his employees though. The techs and front desk staff are friendly. He does have a convenient location if you work in downtown DC. I think he's competent enough but I don't have anything to compare him to so how do I know. It's been very unpleasant for me having to see him every 6 weeks. Schwartz is a board-certified orthodontic specialist and an Invisalign Premier Elite Provider, a designation awarded to just one percent of Invisalign providers. Sometimes he'll sit in his office even though all the chairs are occupied by waiting patients. Capitol Orthodontics, PC, based in Washington D.C., has been helping patients in the city and its suburbs for more than 30 years. He treats you like you're in an assembly line.

He shows zero interest in building a rapport. He's dismissive of any concerns or questions. Once I signed on, almost immediately, I felt like his whole demeanor changed. Of course during the consultation they're trying to reel you in so they're on their best behavior. (Clearly, those are all paid reviews.) So you're really going in blind. Nearly all the DC orthodontists have glowing Yelp reviews so that's of no help. I researched him and didn't find any lawsuits. He's board certified (although I'm not sure what difference that makes when all is said and done). He came off very personable and easy going at the consultation. I've been to Andrew Schwartz on K Street, and it's been an irritating experience with him.

In contrast, an orthodontist is the highly skilled teammate who helps the dentist by straightening teeth and aligning the jaws over the course of a few years. Think of a dentist as the one who is there for a lifetime, to make sure teeth and gums are healthy. Ideally, dentists and orthodontists work hand in hand to make sure oral health and the alignment of teeth and jaws are the best they can be. But this can't compare to the advanced training an orthodontist receives during his or her education.


Some dentists claim to have taken enough continuing education or additional training to offer braces to their patients.
