At Top Nova Orthodontics, Dr. Azita Abbasi is a leader in dentofacial orthodontics, providing transformative care that goes far beyond straightening teeth. Serving patients in Sterling and Ashburn, VA, Dr. Abbasi specializes in aligning not only the teeth but also the jaws and facial structure—creating results that are functionally healthier and aesthetically more harmonious.

What Is Dentofacial Orthodontics?

Dentofacial orthodontics is a specialized approach that focuses on the relationship between the teeth, jaw, facial bones, and soft tissues. It addresses issues such as:

• Improper jaw growth and development

• Facial asymmetry

• TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction

• Airway obstruction and mouth breathing

• Unstable bite and poor facial aesthetics

Rather than simply moving teeth into alignment, dentofacial orthodontics corrects the underlying skeletal issues, promoting balance between facial features, jaw function, and overall oral health.

Dr. Abbasi’s Philosophy: Non-Extraction, Growth-Focused Orthodontics

Dr. Azita Abbasi is proud to be one of the few providers offering non-invasive, non-extraction dentofacial orthodontic treatments. Her mission is to avoid unnecessary tooth extractions or jaw surgeries by guiding natural growth and development—especially in children and teens, when early intervention can have the greatest impact.

Her approach includes:

• Skeletal and dental expansion

• TMJ-focused orthodontics

• Airway and breathing evaluations

• Growth modification appliances

• Customized, patient-specific treatment plans

This holistic, patient-centered care leads to more stable, long-term results that enhance both facial appearance and jaw function.

Why Dentofacial Orthodontics Matters

When jaw alignment is overlooked, orthodontic treatment can lead to temporary results or even worsen issues such as:

• Facial flatness or asymmetry

• TMJ pain and dysfunction

• Mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing

• Cervical spine misalignment

• Poor posture and headaches

By addressing jaw structure, facial development, and dental alignment together, Dr. Abbasi helps her patients achieve optimal health, balance, and confidence—inside and out.
