Dr. Rana Barakat became an orthodontist to fulfill her lifelong dream of creating beautiful smiles for her patients. Her passion for orthodontic care originated in her childhood, because she needed to have extensive work on her own teeth. When her treatment finished, Dr. Barakat became so elated looking at her new, beautiful teeth in the mirror that she was inspired to become an orthodontist to help others feel the same way.
To this day, she has always believed that a beautiful smile is essential to achieving oral health as well as confidence. While Barakat Orthodontics uses the most innovative orthodontic technology available, it is Dr. Barakat and her team’s personal touch that really makes patients feel so special. It is her priority to provide excellent orthodontic treatment, ensure optimal clinical results, and at the same provide a warm, positive experience for patients.
Dr. Barakat completed her specialty training in Orthodontics at the prestigious Eastman Dental Center, University of Rochester, New York, in 1996. She attended the University of Tennessee, College of Dentistry in 1990 and received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) with honors in 1994. She attended Vanderbilt University for her undergraduate studies in 1987. Dr. Barakat regularly participates in continuing education programs to stay current with leading treatment techniques.
Dr. Barakat is a Board- Certified Orthodontist, an achievement held by only 25% of all orthodontists. She has been featured in several magazines, including Health and Beauty, I am Modern, and Northern Virginia Magazine. Dr. Barakat has been voted “Top Orthodontist” by her peers in Health and Beauty Magazine (2006, 2007, 2008), Washingtonian Magazine, Top Orthodontist (consecutively 2009 – 2018), Northern Virginia Magazine (consecutively 2009 – 2018) and Virginia Living Magazine (consecutively 2011 – 2018). Most recently, Dr. Barakat has been voted a “Top Dentist” in the Nation by topDentist.
In her free time, Dr. Barakat volunteers at area schools for career day and dental health education, and she enjoys spending time with her husband Jerry, and their two children, Hope and Paul.

Patient Reviews
“I love this place. The team is so welcoming and it’s a great environment. You can tell that all of the doctors in this office care about their patients and listen to what they think and want. Everyone is so kind and I love seeing all of the doctors.”
“Great staff and doctors who have walked us through the process in a kind and patient manner (expander, tooth extraction and Invisalign braces!!)”
“My son did the invisalign thing with Barakat Orthodontics about five years ago. We agreed to a fixed fee and, despite some complications resulting in a longer period of service, we were never asked to pay any more. The staff were all responsive and professional. Several years later we went to Dr. Barakat because my son’s jaw continued to grow and create an under-bite issue. Despite being well outside our original service agreement, Dr. Barakat met with us, provided a full examination, discussed a range of options for corrective action, and provided us with several referrals to oral surgeons that could assist with our issue. All with no additional charge. Simply and impressive practice.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my daughter’s Invisalign treatment from Dr. Barakat and the fantastic team, Canan & Amanda. The whole process was easy to understand and worked around my schedule. We have since moved out of state but are able to continue treatment with an app their office provides a remote monitoring system. I can already see results and my teen is more confident with her smile, we’re excited for the final results.”
“I’ve been going here for a little over 2 years now, and everytime I go here I’m always excited because there’s always something new to look forward to! 🤗 everyone is so nice and funny, i’m actually gonna miss coming here”
