Appt 2/28 @ 930am
Showed up by 9am and was taken back early. Check in was super fast. Name and sat down.
Got my new invisalign put in today and this office is superb!
Ortho Assistants - HIGHLY knowledgeable! Where general dentists do the attachments themselves because they hire subpar Assistants, all of Dr. A's Assistants have been highly trained to this. She put 24 attachments in under 30min
Next they give you a cool app. You literally scan your teeth each week and he gets it straight to his system so no need to go in every couple of weeks like general dentist make you
Payment plan: SUPER affordable and everyone is accepted! I think my treatment came out to $200/mo with about $800 down. Everyone will be different. Just depends on how long you're in treatment. Other offices you gotta apply for care credit or some financing company. Here its 0% interest. I put my HSA card and it will auto deduct
Dr Avilla - very knowledgeable. I have a 4mm kant, front teeth are crooked and my molars need shifting. When other general dentist stated my kant couldnt be fixed and I should just do invisalign on my front teeth or braces, I came here for a 2nd opinion. Without even sitting in the chair Dr. A looked at me and goes "smile...ok you got a 4mm kant (midline of smile is crooked) and need some shifting from back to front. No problem, lets get you scanned." To think I was about to do braces...yikes. Then, I also did research online and Invisalign can fix those. The drs that say it cant either are too nervous to do it with all the attachments or they dont know enough about invisalign, bite blocks, etc..where Dr. A does invisalign every single day so he's well versed! Plus he is an orthodontist! Would you go to your primary physician to do bypass surgery...no? Go to a specialist to do specialty work especially if its affordable. Ive heard so many nightmares about Suresmile and other brands that tried to copy invisalign. Stick to the OG solution.

P.S. - I just saw a review about saying if you want cheap go somewhere else. Most places in Montgomery county quote between 5500 - 7350 for invisalign. Dr. Avilla is actually VERY competitive in this range. Also, again, hes done 1000s of cases, he's a specialist, and ya invisalign isnt cheap but hes not expensive ESPECIALLY for Montgomery County
My daughter started Angel aligners (like Invisalign) from Sublime Smiles last September and the at home scans let us not have to come in as frequently! The progress is visible/encouraging and aligners seem comfortable. The staff are friendly and Dr. Avila was thorough in his explanations during our consultation and first visit to get the aligners. Pricing seems average and they are knowledgeable/helpful in applying insurance. Very much worth it!
If I could I would give Sublime Smiles 10/5. I had a challenging case that other orthodontists said was impossible with braces let alone Invisalign, but my results with Dr. Avila are perfect! Dr. Avila is very caring and diligent and was even able to catch problems I was having that my general dentist didn't even catch. The service at Sublime is superb! I actually enjoyed going to my appointments because the staff is incredible and very friendly, the office environment is great and they are always playing the best music. They even remembered my birthday each year! Would absolutely recommend for all ages.
Cece was my orthodontic assistant and she was very nice and talked me through the entire thing! Recommend sublime smiles to anyone who wants to find an orthodontic office. Dr. Avila is a miracle worker, im not done with treatment but ive come a long way with my invisalign
Sublime Smiles started as an amazing orthodontics practice. Dr. Avila seemed to have been driving the industry forward with a knowledgeable Staff and very well designed and pristine offices. Then my process was rushed. Even a worker said he was ending my treatment too soon. So, perhaps after that office remodel is very likely when he started the nickel and dime tendencies over retainers. Brand new flimsy one cracked within a week and he really tried to charge me to replace it. Started out ok, but I did not feel good about my experience in the end.
Very clean office.
Doc is very professional.
They have regular metal braces around 3.5K after my insurance.
LightForce braces around 3.8K
Invisalign is around 4.5K.
If u looking for cheap price, go somewhere else.
If u looking for high quality service, this is where u need to come.
Perfect service, friendly staff, and knowledgeable doctor. Everyone is very personable and efficient. We go to the Rockville location. We really like the great parking spots available for patients. Highly recommend.
Doctor Avila is the BEST!!
I had actually went for a consultation appointment with him years ago but ended up not going through with the treatment at the time because I wasn’t ready. So fast forward about 3 years later, I couldn’t find where I had saved Dr.Avila’s info and ended up starting treatment with another ortho that my regular dentist had recommended. Biggest mistake of my life!! This other ortho was damaging my teeth and not only that but was also deforming the shape of face with all he was doing with my teeth and the movements. With 8 months of treatment my teeth went from bad to worse and my face shape had completely changed and not for the better.
I knew I had to do something! I thought again of Dr.Avila because not only he was very nice and profesional in my first visit 3 years prior but he had also helped me clean my teeth just because he wanted to help during that visit (at no cost). So that had always stayed in my mind and gave me reassurance that Dr.Avila actually cares about his patients and even non patients which was my case at the time.
So I tracked down my emails to find Dr. Avila’s info (cause mind that I couldn’t recall his name at the time lol) and finally found him!! I sent him a message extremely worried about my situation at the time and without yet being his patient, he sooo kindly responded to me with valuable guidance.
I decided to end my treatment with the first ortho and started treatment with Dr. Avila. Best decision ever!!! I could already see positive improvements with my teeth from the very first few braces adjustments!! Every appointment, the shape of my teeth improved and even the structure of my face. Dr.Avila and his staff are wonderful and you can tell they care about their patients. I am very happy with the results! My teeth finally look nice and straight!
I 1000% recommend Dr.Avila if you want to make sure your treatment goes smoothly and you don’t want to get ripped off by other orthos who don’t know what they’re doing. You couldn’t pay me to go to another ortho other than Dr. Avila.
Thanks so much Dr.Avila and team!! I can smile again without feeling self conscious!! You are all THE BEST!!
