About Capitol Orthodontics, PC
Dr. Andrew Schwartz's team handles complex surgical cases and early treatment for younger kids, with two DC-area locations for scheduling flexibility.
Reviews describe Dr. Andrew Schwartz coordinating closely with outside surgeons on complex jaw surgery cases and recommending against unnecessary treatment to save patients cost. Early treatment for younger children comes up more often here than typical, alongside retainer care and insurance billing that reviewers call clear and easy.

I've been meaning to leave a review for the longest time, but couldn't more highly recommend Capitol Orthodontics! Dr. Schwartz and his whole team are so friendly and wonderful. Everyone takes the time to remember your name and get to know you. In Particular, all the wonderful reviews about Tifani were what caught my attention about Capitol Orthodontics and she has been everything I could hope for and more -- there is no doubt you will be in great hands when you start and end your visit with Tifani. Coming from someone who's always been self-conscious about my dental situations, I actually enjoy going to the orthodontist (I'm not even exaggerating) now that I go to Capitol Orthodontics!

I’m a little over halfway through my Invisalign treatment and this has been a great & very positive experience so far. The staff (Nina, Tiffani) is amazing, friendly, patient, very hardworking and always willing to work around my crazy schedule. I never feel anxious or rushed out of the chair, Dr. Schwartz is very informative and always happy to answer any of my questions. I would 100% recommend this practice to anyone else needing orthodontic work.

Both my kids have had Dr. Schwartz as their orthodontist and now my husband does, also. Dr. Schwartz is excellent- a great doctor with a wonderful manner. And his office staff is exceptional- listening to patients, accommodating, ensuring excellent care while handling orthodontic plans and insurance coverage. Love these guys.
