Orthodontics & Invisalign in Silver Spring, MD
Orthodontics involves movement of teeth. It can be done in a localized manner to reposition a single tooth or selected teeth. It can also be used to improve the position and occlusion (bite) of your entire mouth. Traditionally, Orthodontics has involved bands, brackets and wires to place forces on teeth and move them into an improved position. Recent technology has allowed us to move teeth without the metal “braces” that we have come to expect. Contact us for Orthodontics work in Silver Spring.

I never thought I would describe a visit to the dentist as AMAZING! I had lots of dental work through the years (~$10K, braces, 4 veneers, 3 crowns) and had many dentist/orthodontists. I have NEVER had such an outstanding experience as with Dr. Chip Steel. He explained everything he was doing to put me an ease, not really need since I spent so many hours at dental chairs, but highly appreciated. I cracked one of my $1,500 veneers and he squeezed me in (during Hurricane Sandy!) that same day just few hours after my call. I walked in and the staff was amicable and informative. He had me in and out in less than 40 minutes and back home to shelter from the storm. He could have easily made pay $1,500 for a new veneer but he fixed it cracked one and it looks amazing (for a LOT less $$$). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This office and these dentists are the best ever. We’ve gone to them for over 25 years and we opt out of dental insurance coverage just to remain with them. Our family has been blessed by what they do and how they do it.
Melissa Joy
I was so nervous coming to the dentist after a year of avoiding it because of covid, but finally fully vaccinated I decided I needed to go. But leaving the dentist after my appointment I questioned why I was even nervous. I was so impressed with the covid precautions and felt so safe there! The staff are vaccinated, they have a great system where they mail you paperwork then you wait in your car and call when you get there, and they will call you in when it is your turn so only one patient is in the building at a time. They do covid screening questions, a temperature check, have hand sanitizer everywhere, and air purifiers seemingly in every room. I really loved that I was the only patient in there for my appointment, just me and the staff.
Dr. Chip is also very friendly and personable and did not make me feel bad about my teeth. He took the time to explain everything and show me the x rays. Rosa, the hygienist or assistant was also very kind and friendly. I left feeling really safe, and I am so thankful that they are going above and beyond to keep staff and patients safe.

Thank you so much for all of your help and support on my journey to becoming Miss USA 2012. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Courtney Hejl
I’ve been a patient of Drs. Linda & Chip Steel for almost 20 years!
I became a patient after winning the title of Miss Maryland Teen USA 2003. They made sure my smile was ready to be seen by millions of viewers watching the Miss Teen USA pageant live on NBC. I went on to have a successful modeling career for 18 years, traveling all over the world, and no matter where I was living, I always came back to Drs. Linda & Chip. They have always taken excellent care of me and my smile! My smile continues to be picture perfect after all these years because of them and their expertise.
