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
“We have been so happy with Dr. Barakat and all the people in the office. My 10 yr went through Invisalign expanders and now is starting Invisalign braces and it’s going very smoothly. They are all so kind and helpful and I’ve been very impressed!”
“Working with them was such a great experience (according to my sister and brother)”
“I love it! Everyone is so nice and helpful!”
“Everyone is unbelievably professional, kind & knowledgeable. Dawn Hyatt is a ray of sunshine, she makes our day every time we walk in. Dr. Barakat is like a full encyclopedia, there is no medical question that she could not answer or a concern that she could not address & above all she treats my family like her own, with love, care & transparency. We could pop in any day without an appointment & everyone is always happy to see us & help us! It’s rare to find a practice like this, it’s simply the BEST!”
“Fantastic group of professionals that uniquely make an awkward dentist/ortho appointment reason feel small / common place. From the moment you walk it..you become a part of their family. Everyone takes a moment to remember your name and get to know you personally. VERY DIFFERENT from the big brand orthodontics practices in the area. Love them and wish I had found them earlier in life.”
