There are so many orthodontists that do not take a long-term, face-driven approach to treating their patients (and so many patients don't even know that's a possibility!) -- Dr. Patel does. It's not just about making teeth straight, it's about giving patients the best possible smile for their particular face. My daughter had a very narrow bite, and one of Dr. Patel's goals was to broaden her bite, and her smile. What a HUGE difference this has made in her appearance. Dr. Patel has also been able to give us a long-term plan for both my daughter and son - he looks at not only the present, but what would be best over time with teeth being lost, gained, and both of them growing. Orthodontic work affects you and your smile for your entire life, so Im very happy to have found Dr. Patel for my kids!

If an Xray is conducted I SHOULD KNOW! The establishment itself is clean and the staff are polite but I definitely don't feel like I am in the loop with my child's progress or treatment!

A week in a rubber band popped off when I was trying to floss. My teeth are overcrowded so I was not surprised, however to get it put back on is very difficult. I picked this place partially for the reasonable hours listed on the website. Those hours are not the hours they are open at all. They have the most random schedule and I was told that these where their summer hours, which is fine. However if you have summer hours they should be displayed online. I would not have choosen this location if I knew that getting fixes or repairs done throughout this process were going to be so difficult or require me to take leave from my job for everything. If this is not an issue for you then the place is great, however if you have a job that is not located close to this location I would not suggest it because traffic in DC is not your friend in rush hour and their hours do not allow for it.

My older son has received treatment there for the last two years. My younger son went in today to have an upper treatment started. He is 9 and will need a lot of work done over time. We agreed on this treatment plan pictured here in October. Today I was told that if I needed to also agree to start lower expander treatment, which would add thousands to the bill. I explained to the doctor that I was a single mom of three children and I needed to take the treatment one step at a time. We had agreed on this plan and I was prepared to pay for this and get the upper treatment today. Dr. Selnick said that she was "not comfortable taking me on as a client" because essentially she needs her clients to be able to jump when she says to jump. That if I didn't "trust her" enough to have a good relationship and allow her to begin all of the treatments at once that she couldn't treat my son. She said she would consider it if I signed a paper saying they thought it would be best to do both upper and lower treatments and I said I would sign it. Then she said "it doesn't matter, I don't think you are the right fit for me." So to be clear, the right fit for Dr. Selnick is someone with money, who doesn't ask questions, who doesn't expect the agreed-upon treatment or payment plan to be accepted. Be ready to be asked (or demanded) to pay exponentially more and asked to leave if you push back. I'm mortified.

He is highly skilled, gentle, patient, and always takes the time to explain each step of the treatment and answer every question with kindness and professionalism. I had my braces at 50 years old and honestly never imagined my teeth could look this beautiful. Thanks to Dr. Tran, I smile more than ever and feel more confident. Choosing to get braces was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I am so grateful to Dr. Tran for giving me a smile I absolutely love. If you're looking for an orthodontist, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tran. His expertise, gentle care, and genuine compassion make him the very best. Thank you, Dr. Tran, for transforming both of our smiles and giving us confidence that will last a lifetime!

We started off with a free consultation, Dr. Tran was very professional and personable. We sat and discussed treatment options between braces and Invisalign. We weighted the pros and cons of both, and ultimately I went the braces route. At every appointment, I was learning something new about dental work. I have a feeling Dr. Tran has a passion for teaching because he would explain in layman's term what he was doing and why. I found it reassuring when he explained his thought process while working on my teeth. Doing so allowed me to understand where we were on my individualized treatment plan for straighter teeth. The staff at Tran Orthodontics is a great team. They were always quick to attend to my needs whenever I had any questions or concerns. The dental hygienists always exceeded my expectations whenever I was under their care. Scheduling future appointments was always easy. I found it quite convenient that there are three locations that can provide dental care. They are all located in Silver Spring, Wheaton, and Gaithersburg. I give my highest recommendation to anyone looking for straighter teeth to be under the care of Dr. Tran. I genuinely believe that he is the best there is in the area!
