Rad Orthodontics

Rad Orthodontics is a distinguished orthodontic practice with multiple convenient locations in Maryland, including College Park, Potomac, Bethesda, and North Bethesda. Founded by Dr. Mehdy Rad and Dr. David Rad, who are both highly respected and personable orthodontists, the clinic is committed to providing state-of-the-art orthodontic and dentofacial treatments. Their certified specialists possess extensive knowledge in jaw growth and tooth alignment, combining medical science with the art of creating beautiful smiles. Rad Orthodontics offers a wide range of services for patients of all ages, from early intervention treatment for children to adult orthodontics. Their offerings include various types of braces, such as traditional metal braces, self-ligating brackets (like Empower Self-Ligating Brackets for less friction and fewer adjustments), and ceramic braces. They are notably a top provider of Invisalign® clear aligners, being recognized as "Super Elite Invisalign® Providers" (placing them in the top 1% worldwide in 2012) and offering their "Smile Express" at-home aligner program for minor adjustments. A key differentiator for Rad Orthodontics is their focus on accelerated orthodontics, which can achieve results 40-50% faster than the national average using innovative technologies like the PROPEL VPro5 (a high-frequency vibration device to seat aligners) and the SPEED System™ (which uses a special Spring Clip™ for constant, gentle force). Beyond traditional tooth alignment, they also provide specialized treatments for sleep apnea and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues. The clinic prides itself on offering personalized and patient-centered care in a friendly and welcoming environment where patients are treated like family. They provide complimentary initial consultations, which include a comprehensive oral exam, diagnostics, and a customized treatment plan discussion. Rad Orthodontics also offers various financing options and accepts most major dental insurance plans. Dr. Mehdy Rad and Dr. David Rad are highly qualified, having completed their dental and orthodontic training at Boston University, with both having served as chief residents. Dr. Mehdy also serves as an associate clinical professor at the University of Maryland Dental School, and both lecture nationally on orthodontic topics. Their commitment to continuing education ensures they remain at the forefront of dental advancements. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the professionalism and kindness of the staff, the effectiveness of the treatments, and the positive and inviting atmosphere of the clinics.
