This review is more than two years in the making. First Impression Orthdontics (FIO) is probably…read morethe best orthodontist and business I have worked with. Having been told since the age of eight that I needed braces, I am glad I took the plunge 20 years after the fact with them. My dentist had originally recommended another orthodontist office in Falls Church. After waiting for an hour to see the doctor and dodging the wild children in their waiting room, I decided not to go with that particular orthodontist. The entire process from initial evaluation and the day they put on your braces, to the day they deband you, is a guided process and the staff at FIO is available at all hours of the day to answer all the concerns and questions that come with wearing braces. I've had to call and ask how to wear my rubber bands and come in and get wires cut because they were poking my gums. The staff were more than accommodating, even if it was a weekend. Dr. Lu is amazing despite having to juggle many responsibilities at one time and always remembers your treatment and interactions. Each staff member is personable and friendly. The personal touches they put forth to their customers such as toothbrushes/floss for brushing, having lip balm available, a bottle of champagne to celebrate the end of treatment... just tells you how much they care about customer service. I went on a payment plan which spread payments out over 18 months and I was never charged interest. I'm glad that FIO offered a convenient payment plan and they are not knit picky over overselling you services or material. It has been amazing seeing FIO grow in the last two years I have been receiving treatment from them. Small things like hiring extra hygenists and adding chairs in the waiting room are hallmarks of how successful they have been.

The waiting area is modern and comfortable with light pop music playing. There's coffee and water available which is probably more for parents bringing their kid patients here. Speaking of waiting- I've never waited more than 5 minutes. Appointments run on time and I appreciate that. All the staff is super helpful and friendly. I appreciate they take the time to ensure I am comfortable and i always learn something new about teeth whenever I visit from the kind dental assistants. Dr. Lu is quick and efficient as well. He's a soft talker so sometimes I miss hearing his requests to open or shut or whatever. Additionally I would really prefer if he sat me up in the chair before giving me the lowdown on how things are going. The receptionists are great at finding appointments that fit with my schedule. They send an immediate email with the appointment information. And a couple days before I receive a text message reminder too. Overall I am pleased with the care I am receiving. My teeth are looking better than ever and I appreciate this clean and efficient orthodontic practice.

They turned what is usually an awful experience for any teenager (getting braces) into something positive and even marvelous. The staff is always kind and attentive. Dr. Hughes went above and beyond by coming in on a weekend within 30 minutes when my son's bracket broke. That level of care and responsiveness made all the difference. We are very grateful and highly recommend this office to any family needing orthodontic treatment.

So far everything has gone smoothly! My oldest daughter is now on her second set of braces after having an expander and her teeth are looking great! My youngest currently has braces and has recently gotten her expander out. We've done both metal and ceramic braces and even though ceramic are more pricy, we have had significantly less problems and my child reports that they are much more comfortable! The decision to switch to ceramic for my daughter's second round was tricky at first, but definitely worth it! If you're considering getting ceramic instead of metal and it's not wildly out of your price range, I would definitely say go for it! Alexandria Braces has done a great job with everything, and even though we've had a few hiccups, over all an amazing experience!

I wanted to update my review as soon as I got my braces on but decided to wait until after my 2nd…read moreapt. As mentioned in my first review I really liked Dr. Lee and was confident that he knew what he was doing. I understand the stress of relocating/opening a new location. In regard to the business aspect that I mentioned in the previous post everything has done a 360. I get a call and e-mail days before my actual appointment. I also like the fact that they have Saturday appointments available, that totally helps if you have a 9-5. I've had my braces on now for over a month and I absolutely love them. At my appointment to have the braces put on Dr. Lee told me that he used a new type of wire which helped with the pain. He said the first day I'd be alright but to brace myself for the second and third day. I honestly felt no pain, like none at all!!! I remember getting braces the first time (in 2006) and I couldn't eat for like a week. Granted, my teeth were a little jacked up, so that may have had something to do with the pain lol. I really appreciate the fact that Dr. Lee called me personally to check on me a couple of days after the braces were put on. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lee and his staff to anyone

He has not closely followed the protocol for Invisalign, but Dr. Mina has been an absolute gem: giving gentle encouragement or matter-of-fact redirection as needed. Everyone from the receptionists to the assistants are friendly, polite and professional. You can't go wrong with Kumra Orthodontics.

I went to Kumra Orthodontics after dealing with a dental issue that had impacted my appearance--and…read moremy confidence--for nearly a year. Due to an issue with my bite, I kept biting my lip, which caused swelling and scar tissue. It became noticeable when I ate and talked, and it honestly made me shy away from social interactions. I kept putting off seeing an orthodontist, and after this experience, I truly wish I hadn't. My free consultation was better than I could have imagined. From the initial phone intake to the stunning, luxurious office, every single staff member was friendly, caring, and genuinely invested in making me feel comfortable. The entire experience felt thoughtful and personalized, and I walked away feeling fully informed about my care and next steps. Jessica handled my intake and X-rays and made the entire process completely stress-free. She took the time to get to know me as an individual, asked thoughtful questions about my concerns and hopes, and was clearly knowledgeable and capable. Viviana, the practice manager, is truly an angel on earth. She radiates warmth and kindness and clearly loves what she does--it shows in every interaction. I had absolutely no reservations or fear because of her care and reassurance. And Dr. Mina... I don't even have the words. She was honest, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. I never once felt pressured into an expensive or unnecessary treatment. We reviewed my X-rays together, she answered every question, and we came up with a plan that was conservative, affordable, and effective. They also referred me to an oral surgeon to evaluate the scar tissue on my lip to determine whether it would resolve on its own or needed to be addressed. That level of care and foresight truly meant so much to me. I walked in terrified and resigned to the idea that I might need braces. Instead, after discussing my options, I ordered retainers. Viviana did my scans and talked me through everything so I felt completely at ease. They even put in a rush order so I wouldn't have to be uncomfortable any longer than necessary. I am beyond grateful for this team and will absolutely be a lifelong patient. If you're considering orthodontic care--don't go anywhere else. Just go to Kumra Orthodontics.
