Dr. Bailey's Biography — Born in 1974 to a nurse and a mechanical engineer in Minnesota, with an older brother who is also a mechanical engineer, I think I was genetically predisposed to become an orthodontist. I grew up loving math, biology, and physics, and taking care of people, which is essentially the definition of orthodontics! I promise I will take excellent care of you. I graduated from dental school in 2000, and then practiced as a general dentist is Minnesota for eight years prior to deciding to specialize in orthodontics right here in DC. After two additional years in residency at Washington Hospital Center, where I then served as faculty for five years, this small-town girl officially transitioned to life in the big city. Dr. Orchin and I were married in 2013, and our blended family consists of his children, Max and Leo, and our new baby boy Evan! When I’m not working, I’m constantly moving. I adore dogs, and am passionate about dog rescue programs. I miss my beloved dogs Roxy and Izzy and will add more dogs to our family once my son gets a little older! I also work out, and you may find it interesting (and surprising after you meet me) that my cousins are World Power Lifting champions and have competed in Strongman competitions, and my uncle was a Green Bay Packer in the first two Super Bowls! (Sorry, but I am a Packers fan!) I love to cook, including homemade pizza dough, bagels, and pasta. I enjoy scuba diving, fishing, snow and water skiing, traveling, and losing myself in a good book. Oh, and I’m a bit of a fearless adventure seeker! A PASSION FOR ORTHODONTICS I live and breathe orthodontics. Being married to Dr. Orchin, it is rare for us not be “talking teeth.” I love what I do and continue to set ever higher standards for myself and our practice. I enjoy working with different patient personalities, lifestyles, and goals. No two patients are the same, and with every visit I get to use my creativity to marry the science and artistry into delivering their unique treatment. It keeps me challenged and inspired. I am a perfectionist. With 10 years of general dentistry experience prior to becoming a specialist in orthodontics, I understand the short- and long-term effects of a healthy, well-balanced mouth. I work hard to design beautiful smiles that match faces, with close attention to a healthy, functional, protective bite. It’s all in the details. I love making my patients happy. That’s what it is all about for me: it’s my job to make people smile, while making that smile stunning. I want to be a bright spot in their day. If I can make a child laugh, a teenager grin, or an adult’s day a little brighter, it brings me great happiness. Patients end their treatment with amazing and healthy smiles I know will last them a lifetime (if they wear their retainers!), due to the attention that has been given to function and balance. I hope that I am a positive influence for all my patients: in my attitude, unwavering commitment to excellence and honesty, and a sprinkling of Minnesota-nice humor. MY EDUCATION AND COMMITMENT TO CONTINUING EDUCATION Undergraduate degree – University of Minnesota Doctorate of Dental Surgery – University of Minnesota Orthodontic specialist training – Washington Hospital Center and Children’s National Medical Center I’m active in numerous, ongoing continuing education programs.

Dr. Orchin's Biography — I’m a third generation Washingtonian: born at the Washington Hospital Center, where I’m now an attending doctor and teacher. Yes, a rare native! I have three sons, Max and Leo, and our new baby Evan! I’m lucky to be married to a woman who has introduced all of us to the joys and thrills of Minnesota outdoors, including fishing and snowmobiling — both of which we are all getting better at. Dr. Bailey is also a great orthodontist and wonderful partner. Yes, we spend a lot of time together, and love it! Perhaps due to the fact that I was born and raised in Washington, DC, and have spent almost all my life here, one of my favorite activities is to travel and explore different cultures, places, foods, and people. I have also recently started to explore all types of fishing: deep sea, ice, spear, and fly, which is pretty interesting for a city boy. My sons and I are huge fans of all the local sports teams, and try to attend as many games as we can. Even though they are teenagers now, my boys still like to hang out with their dad every once in a while! A PASSION FOR ORTHODONTICS I am passionate about making every patient’s visit to our office the best part of their day. Whether an adult or child, I want every visit to be positive, productive, informative, and fun. With this kind of trust and attitude, we can achieve the results we all want, which are healthy, harmonious, beautiful smiles. From kids to teens to adults, I love to hear what’s happening in every patient’s life. I want to know what sports teams they follow, what music they like, where they’re from, where they travel, and what they do for work and fun. I love the interest they show in learning the same things about me. Orthodontics is not just about straightening teeth and creating healthy smiles; it’s about relationships. I’ve been a practicing orthodontist for more than 10 years. My father is a retired, internationally respected orthodontist. He never pushed me into the profession and, in fact, encouraged me to explore the world outside of dentistry before deciding what I wanted to do for a living. I was out of college for five years before I realized I wanted to do what he did: help improve smiles and health for wonderful people! MY EDUCATION AND COMMITMENT TO CONTINUING EDUCATION Bachelor of Arts – American University Doctorate of Dental Surgery – Howard University Certificate in orthodontics – Children’s National Medical Center Each year I complete many hours of continuing education through local study clubs. I am a proud member of the invitation-only Schulman Study Group, an awesome group composed of some of the best 125 orthodontic practices in North America. I am also a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. In addition, I have been an attending clinical instructor at Washington Hospital Center for many years, so I spend at least one full day a month not only teaching the next generation of orthodontic specialists, but also learning from them.
