The DC Area’s Best Orthodontists

My children’s visits to the dentist have (luckily!) been pretty uneventful, but last time my oldest went in for her cleaning our dentist surprised me by mentioning a visit to the orthodontist was likely in our future. What?! So we want to go-to one of the best orthodontists.

I learned that orthodontists do much more than creating beautiful smiles, although that is an important piece of their work. A proper bite and tooth alignment can help improve eating and speech, and also keeps teeth easier to clean to help avoid costly future dental procedures.

I had no idea where to begin looking, so turned to our trusted DC Area Moms community to crowdsource the best in the area. Thankfully, there are lots of good ones.

The best orthodontists are listed below. All of them are highly experienced, licensed, and our local favorites. Be sure to check them out online or set an appointment for a consultation if you’re ready to start looking! The very bottom part of the guide has tabs with Orthodontists based on location.

Also, lots of these Orthodontists serve adults too with braces or Invisalign! Taking care of parent’s tooth alignment is important too.
