What Sets Us Apart

Our Mission

Orthodontics is an evolving science, with frequent developments in techniques, technology, and treatment. At our office, we ensure that patients receive the most advanced orthodontic care. Members of our Silver Spring, MD orthodontic office regularly attend seminars and conferences devoted to orthodontic treatment, new technology, and patient care. With patient care as our top priority, this is our commitment to you.

Welcome! We look forward to giving you “The Smile of a Lifetime!”

We are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of orthodontics in a friendly, comfortable, and state-of-the-art environment. Drs. DeMarco and Tilkin and our caring staff utilize the latest technological advances in orthodontics, such as clear ceramic braces, Invisalign®, and self-ligating brackets, along with advanced computer technology (digital imaging, digital X-rays, and computer graphics).

Each member of our team is a highly trained and certified orthodontic assistant with years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care. We regularly attend continuing education courses and seminars to remain up to date on the latest technology and advances to ensure that you receive the most effective and comfortable care and the most beautiful smile possible.
