What is accelerated orthodontics?
When you’re ready to begin the process of moving closer to your ideal smile, one of the first things you might ask is how long it will take from start to finish. Accelerated orthodontics is an approach to orthodontic care that delivers impressive results in a shorter time frame, as compared to traditional metal braces.
Not so long ago there were fewer options when it came to the tools used in orthodontic treatment. Advancements in dental technology have led to options that were simply unimaginable just a generation ago. Accelerated orthodontics is an excellent example of just how far orthodontic care has come.

Rad Orthodontics Reviews
The Potomac Orthodontist Office Is TRULY The Best!! The Staff Goes Above And Beyond There Duties Making Your Experience Very Comfortable.Dr Rad Is Exceptionally In His Craft. He Makes You Feel Like Family And No Questions Are Never To Big Or Little To Get A Positive Answer đź’Ż I've Had Braces On Twice Before And Had The Worst Out Come. Coming To Dr Rad For Braces The Three Time Was The Best Choice I Will Be Referring My Family And Friends.
I just got my braces off this past Monday so this review encompasses my experience from the past 18 months.For the past year and a half, I have come in about every 6 weeks and I honestly don’t think I have had any negative experiences to note. All of the staff have been nothing but friendly and professional, especially the front desk staff. The techs and orthodontists (I have been seen by both Dr. Rad and Dr. Le) are always prepared. Either their memory is impeccable or their documentation is very thorough because I always feel like I am coming in where we left off. They also have very convenient locations for anyone living in the Rockville/Bethesda area and I love that even though I started my treatment at one location, the move to another location was pretty seamless. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but once all of my retainer follow ups are complete, I think I’ll actually miss going into the office.Overall, I highly recommend this practice. The orthodontists, techs, and other staff are top tier. If you are considering this practice for your child’s orthodontic needs, I can attest that they are also good with children just by witnessing some of the interactions around me during my appointments.Finally, just wanted to note that my appointments were always pretty quick after getting my braces on but they didn’t feel rushed. I was almost always seen on time as well.
always great service and care.
By far the best experience
Drs Mehdi and David Rad are very thorough and professional. Brea, dental assistant was excellent as well.Thank you for your excellent work

SPEED System™
The SPEED System is an innovative orthodontic approach that uses a special Spring Clip™, a device manufactured with a very elastic material that stores energy to deliver a constant-yet-gentle amount of force. Think of it as like a “computer chip” right inside your braces that is “programmed” by the orthodontist when the braces are placed on your teeth. The result – your teeth move into optimal alignment without the pauses that come with traditional brackets and elastic ties.
With minimal discomfort and potentially fewer trips to the orthodontist chair, the SPEED system is the Speedy way to a straight smile.
Empower Self-Ligating Brackets
The smarter alternative to traditional metal braces is here! Rad Orthodontics is proud to offer Empower Self Ligating Brackets to patients in College Park, Potomac, Germantown, Bethesda and North Bethesda.
While rubber bands are typically used by orthodontists to hold braces in place, Empower Brackets use a clip to secure the arch wire in place – allowing for quick and easy wire adjustments and less visits to the orthodontist.
Some of the benefits of Empower include:
- Comfortable Design: Empower Brackets feature precise designs with contoured edges to keep the surface against your cheek and lips smooth.
- Less Hassle with No Ligatures: Ligatures, or rubber bands, can stain and wear out over time – causing them to need replacement more often.
- Self Ligating Clips: Wire adjustments are quick and virtually more comfortable with Empower’s high-quality self ligating clips.
- Versatile Design: No more one-size-fits-all when it comes to straightening teeth. With Empower’s cutting-edge yet versatile design and unique options available, Dr. Rad can customize your treatment based on your specific needs.
