Dr. Harold Frank

Just off Wilson Boulevard, orthodontic care doesn’t get more centrally placed than Dr. Harold Frank—a name that’s been part of Arlington’s dental landscape for years. The practice sits at 200 N Glebe Rd, where the Ballston neighborhood’s mix of residences and offices makes it easy to fit appointments into a lunch break or after-work errands. Orthodontics here covers the full spectrum: traditional braces for teens, Invisalign for adults who’d rather skip the metal, and early interventions for kids whose parents want to stay ahead of alignment issues. Retainers, expanders, and post-treatment follow-ups round out the offerings—no referrals needed for consultations.

Arlington’s orthodontic scene isn’t exactly sparse, but finding a provider who handles both children’s phase-one treatment and adult cosmetic adjustments under one roof cuts down on the back-and-forth. This isn’t a specialty clinic with a narrow focus; it’s a place where a 12-year-old getting her first braces might share the scheduling log with a 40-year-old finally correcting a lifelong overbite. The lack of flashy marketing or gimmicks keeps the emphasis on the work itself—no frills, just the steady, methodical process of straightening teeth and refining bites.

Logistics are simple: questions about treatment timelines or insurance coordination can go straight to (703) 522-2225, and the office’s proximity to the Ballston Metro means public transit is a viable option for those avoiding traffic. For first-time visitors, the map pin drops you right at the entrance—no circling the block or deciphering vague directions. Around here, a good orthodontist is less about the office’s aesthetic and more about whether they’ll actually remember your name at the next adjustment.
