But I dont stop at your smile. I went through a tough health battle with Obstructive Sleep Apnea that changed me as a clinician, and it motivated me to go back into training and become a Certified Sleep Medicine Specialist. Having the ability to Screen, Test, and Treat patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea has provided me a rewarding experience like none other. I can now say that I get to both CHANGE peoples lives with a better smile and also SAVE AND EXTEND peoples lives with improved sleep, health, and vitality.
Ive been a practicing specialist in orthodontics since 2005. As the son of a retired Air Force LTC, I spent most of my childhood traveling around the Midwest and East Coast until we settled down in Burke, VA, where I graduated from Lake Braddock High School in 1995.
Since I started practicing, Ive trained in modern orthodontic technologies, philosophies, and treatment techniques. My extensive training and overall experience have allowed me to provide my patients with the most comprehensive care options.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife, Bita, and my two children, Kaitlyn and Austin. I am an avid sports fan. I love to walk and hike, as well as lift weights and spar in TaeKwonDo (currently a second-degree black belt). I enjoy reading, painting, boating, and traveling as much as I can.
After practicing orthodontics in the Kansas City area, I knew it was time for a change. Thats why I moved to Northern Virginia to partner with my longtime friend, Dr. Ellis. Its one of the best decisions Ive ever made.
As an orthodontist and member of your community, Im here to partner with you in your smile. I know that orthodontic care can be confusing, and thats why I take the time to listen to your questions, give you the answers you deserve and provide clarity on your course of treatment.
I enjoy working with families, and nothing makes me happier than seeing the growth in confidence that comes with a winning smile. When I see you smiling and laughing, I know Ive done my part. And theres no better feeling in the world. I am well-trained in modern orthodontic methods and philosophies for both children and adults. As the mother of three active children, I always treat each patient as I would my own family.
Im a certified orthodontic specialist. After eight years of private orthodontic practice in the Kansas City area, I moved to the Virginia area in 2012. I have always been active in the dental community, as past president of the Greater Kansas City Orthodontic Society and past president of the Midwest Tweed Study Club. As the previous owner of a start-up practice in Kansas City, my expertise and knowledge in the practice of orthodontics are invaluable.

I feel I was scammed out $7,000 for Invisalign, which caused severe TMJ pain that eventually resulted in surgery. I originally saw Dr. Ellis for a consultation (for cosmetic reasons) during which he noticed my jaw deviated and clicked but NEVER warned me how Invisalign could impact my joints. It was either negligence or ignorance, I'm not sure which is worse. I also never saw him again for treatment and instead was handed off to Dr. Lindgren. I found it odd that the consulting dentist wouldn't be the one actually treating me. She was perplexed by my pain and eventually referred me to an oral surgeon (after several months of pain!) who then referred me to a TMJ specialist. Irreversible damage had already been done though. I've spent the last year+ and several thousand dollars trying conservative treatment but eventually needed surgery this summer. I'm still so frustrated by their disregard and lack of responsibility. I trusted their medical knowledge. If you have any sort of TMJ problems, orthodontics should be carefully reconsidered and certainly not done by this practice.

Dr. Ellis is amazing! Down to earth, not judgy, and his team is friendly, helpful, and informative. His team member, Sharon, also deserves a shout out for her knowledge and sunny disposition.

The staff is always so kind, welcoming and polite. They make sure the patient knows what's happening and what the goal for the next appointment is. As long as you wear your rubber bands, you'll come out of braces with a gorgeous smile.

I've had such a great experience at Virginia Orthodontic Partners. I started by going in for an Invisalign consultation and all my treatment options were clearly explained to me along with associated costs (which was what I REALLY wanted to know) and I left able to make an informed decision. Everyone who I have encountered - from the front desk, to billing, to the assistants and doctors - has been so pleasant and kind. I am now wrapping up my Invisalign treatment and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking to begin/continue orthodontic treatments.

The Annandale office has been so easy to work with. Having a daughter in high school make difficult to get appointments after school but always found the time. We especially love Sharon Ogle who somehow made getting braces enjoyable for her. She always had a great smile every time we saw her. Thank you for all your services Will be recommending them to others. Ashley Coppola
