About The Brace Place Orthodontics
Dr. Lateefah Washington is described as taking on complex cases—like severe underbites—that other orthodontists turned away, with Propel treatment cutting some braces timelines nearly in half.
Reviews here center heavily on braces treatment, with many describing corrected overbites and underbites and lasting improvements in bite and smile confidence. Dr. Washington is described as detail-oriented and willing to treat difficult cases, including one where surgery was reportedly avoided through orthodontic correction alone. Several reviews mention Propel treatment shortening overall treatment time, and young children appear frequently among the patients discussed.

I am about 3 -4 months into my braces journey. As an older adult, I heard and read a lot of reviews regarding braces versus Invisalign. I must say, Sr. Washington and her staff thoroughly explained both to me. I chose braces. And never regretted. I have not had an issue with the staff or Dr. Washington. Nor do I anticipate any. My decision to use The Brace Place is as definitely a good one. 5 Star Service! .
