Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. The aligners are custom-made for comfort and precision, making them a popular choice for patients who want effective results without the look of traditional braces.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are a time-tested orthodontic solution that use high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires to correct a wide range of alignment issues. They are highly effective, durable, and often the best option for more complex orthodontic cases.

Kind words from our patients

Real reviews from real patients.

My son just finished with his Invisalign and is now on his retainers. The whole process went smoothly from expander to retainers the past few years. His orthodontia work required quite a bit of pivoting from Dr. Shin. She was always astute on what was needed next and great at explaining why. Exceptional office staff and assistants as well - always friendly and attentive and organized. I never had any reasons to be concerned with anything.

I am very happy with my Invisalign results. From the first appointment, Dr. Debra Shin was honest about to expect and what she thought would be possible, in terms of realigning my teeth. The entire staff is warm, friendly and attentive. My entire experience was top notch and I highly recommend Shin Orthodontics!

We are very happy with our orthodontic treatment at Shin Orthodontics and very satisfied with the results. My son's case was quite tricky and Dr. Richard showed himself to be very open-minded and always listened carefully to us, taking our concerns and preferences into account. Even after we moved to another state, we decided not to change our orthodontist and continued traveling to Maryland for appointments. The clinic staff was also always very polite and attentive. Once again we are very grateful for the professionalism, attention and excellent outcome of the treatment.
