Orthodontist
TBraces
Orthodontics is both a science and an art, says Hani Thariani, owner of TBraces: “The art of it is the aesthetic, the balance, the proportions, how a certain smile fits a certain face, and the science, of course, is behind all the movements and mechanics.” A Harvard grad, Thariani joined an Arlington practice in 1994 that he eventually took over. Today, he and Vincent Boyle, who joined the practice in 2021, see about 65 patients per day, ranging in age from 6 to 90, at their Arlington and Herndon offices. “We always make our patients feel like we’re treating them as we treat our own family,” Boyle says. Smiles result. –Stephanie Kanowitz

Orthopedic Surgeon
David Romness
David Romness specializes in hip and knee replacement and arthritis treatment at the Arlington and McLean-Tysons offices of OrthoVirginia, the commonwealth’s largest provider of orthopedic care. High treatment success rates are what drew him to the field. “My goal is to help people get better,” says the Arlington native, “and I get to see that a lot.” The medical specialty also seems to run in the family: His father, brother and one brother-in-law are also orthopedic surgeons. In addition to seeing about 100 patients and performing 10 to 14 surgeries per week, Romness is a clinical assistant professor at Georgetown University’s School of Medicine and volunteers with the Arlington Free Clinic. –Stephanie Kanowitz
