Orthodontists in Lorton

Orthodontics has been a passion and dream of mine since before I was a teen. When I used to visit the orthodontist as a patient, I was fascinated with the concept of moving teeth and creating beautiful smiles. My orthodontist allowed me to hang out in the treatment bay and really see what the field was all about. It was an experience that changed me and created a career path that led me to where I am today.

Being raised in a military family, I understood the concept of hard work, the value of a dollar, and the appreciation for all I had. I bring all of that with me to the way I run my practice today. I make sure to take the time to understand every patient’s needs, answer all of your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the smile you deserve. I want every one of my patients to smile with confidence for years to come.

But I don’t stop at your smile. I went through a tough health battle with Obstructive Sleep Apnea that changed me as a clinician, and it motivated me to go back into training and become a Certified Sleep Medicine Specialist. Having the ability to screen, test, and treat patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea has provided me with a rewarding experience like none other. I can now say that I get to both CHANGE people’s lives with a better smile as well as SAVE AND EXTEND people’s lives with improved sleep, health, and vitality.

I’ve been a practicing specialist in orthodontics since 2005. As the son of a retired Air Force LTC, I spent most of my childhood traveling around the Midwest and East Coast until we settled down in Burke, VA, where I graduated from Lake Braddock High School in 1995.

Since I started practicing, I’ve trained in modern orthodontic technologies, philosophies, and treatment techniques. My extensive training and overall experience have allowed me to provide my patients with the most comprehensive care options.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife, Bita, and my two children, Kaitlyn and Austin. I am an avid sports fan. I love to walk and hike, as well as lift weights and spar in Taekwon Do (currently a second-degree black belt). I enjoy reading, painting, boating, and traveling as much as I can.
