Hughes Orthodontics

The recognition keeps coming for Dr. Justin! 🏆

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Justin has been named one of Arlington Magazine's Top Dentists in the Orthodontist category for 2026, adding to an incredible year of well-deserved honors. This recognition comes from a peer-review survey of certified dentists across Arlington County, Fairfax County, Falls Church, and Alexandria, making it especially meaningful to be chosen by fellow professionals in the community.

We are so proud of Dr. Justin and grateful for every patient who trusts Hughes Orthodontics with their smile, and for our incredible staff who make it all possible. 🥰

We get it, summer is busy. But leaving your aligners or retainers in a hot car is one of the easiest ways to wreck them. 🚫🚗 Heat warps plastic. 🔥 And a warped aligner does not just stop working, it can actually shift your teeth in the wrong direction. A few minutes in a hot car can undo weeks of progress. 😬

❗️ Keep them in their case. Keep the case with you. Your smile will thank you. 🙏

A message from Dr. Hughes:
“40 years ago today, I began my journey at Hughes Orthodontics. At that time, I could never have imagined what an incredible journey it has been.
I feel truly blessed to have had both the opportunity and the health to enjoy such a rewarding career. The greatest gift has been the
lifelong friendships. I’ve built with my teammates, my dental colleagues and patients along the way. Those relationships have meant more to me than words can express.
Looking back with gratitude, I am thankful for everyone who has been a part of this journey and for the memories we’ve created together over the past four decades.”
