Meet Our Orthodontist

Dr. Fleming has been practicing orthodontics in Falls Church since 1985 and in Herndon since 1994. In addition to providing orthodontic care with braces, Dr. Fleming is a certified Invisalign provider. Dr. Fleming has special interests in non-extraction therapy, early interceptive orthodontic therapy, Invisalign therapy, and adult and surgical-orthodontic treatment. Dr. Fleming’s philosophy - "We treat people of all ages - kids, teens, adults, and even seniors. However, we like to encourage everyone to start their kids early in treatment so that we can help them grow and develop to have the best possible facial esthetics as well as an excellent smile. Orthodontics is a win/win for everybody! I especially enjoy seeing the self-confidence of our patients increase as they become excited about their new smiles."
