Welcome to Dr. Alan Bagden
We are an orthodontic practice in Springfield, Virginia, composed of two American Association of Orthodontists certified orthodontists and a support staff of ten. We practice a philosophy of “face-driven treatment planning” which directs us to prescribe the therapy best suited for each individual patient.
By incorporating the Damon System of orthodontic treatment we have brought the newest materials and techniques in orthodontics into our practice. As a result we consistently deliver the outstanding smiles our patients and reputation have come to expect. We practice from a single office location, have an on-site, in-house orthodontic appliance construction laboratory, convenient off street parking, an easily accessible location and have over 150 years of collective orthodontic experience among our staff; qualifications that give our patients a sense of confidence, familiarity and comfort.
We have been recognized, worldwide, as leaders in the delivery of orthodontic care and as a result we are often called upon to deliver seminars and lectures concerning contemporary orthodontics. As a result of our international exposure we are constantly integrating the newest and best products in orthodontics into our practice, as evidenced by individual chair side computers, electronic check-in to minimize wait time for appointments and the latest orthodontic therapeutic techniques.
Our patients notice a difference in care… it is delivered in an unhurried, individual, doctor directed treatment. Questions are welcome and are answered for every patient, whether they are 6 or 60. Call us today for the beginning of your orthodontic journey. Our family of patients welcomes you.
Recent News
Dr. Quoc Lu has joined our practice!!!
Starting in July there will be a third doctor on our team....Dr. Quoc Lu. After searching far and wide, we are proud to inform our family of patients that we have located an orthodontist that shares our philosophy concerning quality of care as well as compassion for patients. Dr. Lu earned his dental degree from the VCU School of Dentistry in 2008. He completed his postgraduate orthodontic training at the same institution, earning a Masters of Science degree in the process. Having also graduated from UVA with a Bachelors in Computer Science in 2000, Dr. Lu has a background in engineering as well as an avid interest in art. He believes that orthodontics consists of art and science coming together through patient care. He is extremely excited to be a part of Dr. Bagden's team and to strive to produce the best orthodontic care for our patients.
Outside of orthodontics, his interests include all forms of sports, traveling, drawing, and reading science fiction novels. Make sure you meet Dr. Lu on your next visit to our office to welcome him to our practice. (And be sure to show him your beautiful smiles!!)
Damon System
The Damon System is a revolutionary approach to orthodontic treatment due to a unique
orthodontic bracket which is attached to the teeth. Traditional braces used wires
or elastics to hold the wire in the bracket.
The Damon bracket utilizes a sliding mechanism over the bracket which allows the
wire to be secured to the bracket without the need for ties.
Damon Clear is HERE-We’re excited to offer the first COMPLETELY CLEAR passive self-litigating orthodontic bracket (Damon Clear) to our patients. More information on Damon System
