I don't even know where to start. My experience at Omar Orthodontics has been nothing short of amazing. Dr. Omar and her staff are the best human beings on the planet. They are so transparent, lively, and fun, that it is bittersweet when it comes time to end treatment. I felt like I was part of the staff there and Melanie is the funniest person ever. I can't rave about this place enough. From when you first walk in, it's just positivity and great vibes from everyone there.I also love how Dr. Omar and her staff aren't afraid to have fun when the patients are around. This honestly makes me want to go into orthodontics and work here. If you're thinking about getting braces or doing any sort of orthodontic treatment, you'd be doing yourself a disservice for not going here. It was well worth the drive all the way from Manassas.Also, a HUGE thank you to Dr. Omar, Melanie, and the rest of the staff for helping me achieve a perfectly straight smile! I appreciate you all so much! Dr. Omar’s office helped me with my invisalign treatment and they did an amazing job. Very friendly and professional, I definitely recommend this practice for your orthodontist needs. Through the years our family has experienced other orthodontist offices, and I can say Dr. Omar's experience is by far the best. The staff greeted us by name at the door. They took the time to fight our insurance for coverage. And now my daughter has a beautiful smile.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, prevention, management, and correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns. Through orthodontics, we can correct teeth that are misaligned, crowded, gapped, or spaced. In addition, some types of orthodontic treatments can modify facial growth, resulting in a more symetrical and balanced facial structure. These types of treatments are known as dentofacial orthopedics.
While many patients understand orthodontics to be an effective way to improve the aesthetics of their smile, orthodontic treatment can also be very beneficial to your oral health and function. Correctly aligned teeth are generally at a lower risk for dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease, and orthodontics can also make it easier for you to chew, eat, and speak properly.
Common Dental Issues
Through orthodontics, we can correct teeth that are misaligned, crowded, gapped, or spaced. We can also correct problems with the alignment of the bite, including overbite, underbite, open bite, and crossbite. Ortho treatment is now faster, more comfortable, and more effective than in years past–making now a great time to straighten your smile.
Overbite
In an overbite, the upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth. This sometimes causes the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
Underbite
An underbite occurs when the lower jaw extends out, resulting in the lower front teeth sitting in front of the upper front teeth.
Crossbite
In a crossbite, the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth. This may result in tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth.
Open Bite
An open bite is characterized by upper and lower front teeth that do not overlap. This often causes problems with proper chewing, and it may also contribute to other unwanted habits like tongue thrusting.
Upper Front Teeth Protrusion
In this type of bite, the upper teeth extend too far forward or the lower front teeth do not extend far enough forward. This can impact both the appearance and function of the teeth.
Dental Midlines Not Matched
This orthodontic problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match correctly, and it may negatively impact the jaw and proper dental function.

Accelerated Orthodontics
Realigning your teeth takes expertise, patience and above all, time. But with the help of certain techniques, such as Propel®, patients can significantly shrink their treatment timeline. Propel stimulates the bone remodeling process, working alongside traditional braces or clear braces to improve your smile through a non-invasive procedure.
Early Treatment
What’s the ideal age for your child’s first orthodontic visit? It turns out, around seven years old. This is because a child’s teeth and jaw are still developing and can more easily adapt to treatment. Early prevention also means fewer cavities and fewer costly interventions later on.
Dr. Omar is happy to have a one-on-two consultation with you and your child to figure out the best course of action for their unique situation.
Standard Braces
Despite a number of new competing treatments, metal braces are still just about as common as they’ve ever been. And there’s a reason for that: They work. Traditional braces are crafted from high-grade stainless steel which helps to keep them sturdy and functioning.
Clear Braces
Clear braces are designed for older teens and adults looking for a more discreet option for realigning their teeth. Clear braces, such as Invisalign, are virtually unnoticeable but can deliver effective correction for mal-aligned teeth.
