About This Provider

Dr. Chris Tsintolas is a board-certified orthodontist in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with over 20 years of experience helping patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles. He specializes in treating patients of all ages—from children to adults—using a variety of options including traditional metal braces, tooth-colored ceramic braces, and hidden lingual braces. Dr. Tsintolas believes that every patient is unique and works closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your specific goals. His passion for orthodontics began in his own childhood when he was inspired by his experience as an orthodontic patient in the Washington, D.C. area, and he truly enjoys the transformative impact that a great smile can have.
