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).

Patient Reviews
“Barakat Orthodontics is top-notch. I cannot recommend highly enough. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I was in good hands. The staff is not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly warm and welcoming. Dr. Barakat and her team are true experts in their field, and they all have a passion for helping their patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles and that is evident in everything they do. Throughout my braces journey with Barakat Orthodontics, I received nothing short of exceptional care. Dr. Barakat and all of my dentists took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, and I always felt informed and involved in my treatment plan. the results speak for themselves. I am absolutely thrilled with my new smile.”
“We’ve had a great experience with Barakat Orthodontics-Sterling over the past several years! They are such a friendly and accommodating group that yield fantastic results. My two girls and myself out of braces now! We highly recommend Dr. Barakat and staff. ~The McGee Family”
“This place is the Disney of all orthodontics offices! From the moment I got on a call with them to schedule my free consultation to the moment we step out of the office (the kids didn’t even want to leave, it was THAT pleasant of a place) we had such a great experience. I called on a Friday afternoon only a couple hours before they close asking if they can schedule my two kids for a consultation. The nicest lady name Dawn helped me with the scheduling for the SAME day! Then we went there and were greeted by all of the staff! Val helped us with all of our questions, she was super nice and very polite, had a nice small on the entire time. Explained the process to me and my two kids, went over the payment plans, etc. There was a cart filled with all kind of treats and my kids had a blast. They use the latest and greatest technologies to take the X-Rays, scan the mouth, etc. Dr. Barakat is a very experienced doctor, she was so kind to us and went over everything with us. These nice staff helped us so much today and made us feel very welcome: Canan, Dawn, Val, Kelly, Kris, Genesis,Marjorie and Amanda. The office was packed filled with patients, that alone shows how experience the doctor is and how much they care about their patients. Each of my kids got a treatment plan tailored for their specific needs, customized for them so they can be happy with their braces and Invisalign. I went to other places (very famous ones in the area) and none impressed me (treatment wise, price wise and experience wise), Dr. Barakat and Val helped me so much with selecting treatments for each of my kids and we left the place knowing we are going to be in great hands!”
“Great and friendly staff And great service”
“We had an amazing experience, my daughter was so happy with everyone at the office, almost 2 years of treatment passed so smooth with no complications with insurance or appointments. Thank you for the amazing result 😊”
