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
“Really love this place and the experience my son had here. Highly recommend.”
“I have been wanting to do something about my crooked front teeth and chipping edges. I was referred to Dr. Barakat by my dentist but I have know her ( Dr. Barakat) for long time and know she does awesome work. With Invisalign and the smile app I can have the doctor keep in touch with the aligning progress without weekly in-office visits. During my placement appointment Marjorie ( the assistant) was very gentle and explained everything. Dr. Barakat was very thorough from the first consult appointment to my in office appointment. It has been a short time but I can already feel the difference. I look forward to my healthy and properly aligned smile.”
“My name is Kay. I just want to let anyone looking for a fantastic orthodontist, great customer service, an awesome team of employees and a wonderful atmosphere to go visit Barakat Orthodontics. You are greeted with a smile from the friendliest staff ever & Dr. Barakat is fantastic!! She saved my smile when I was in great need of a new orthodontist in 2021.
