Dr. Omar Haddad, DMD, MD

Dr. Omar Haddad is the surgeon north Orange County orthodontists call when braces alone cannot fix a bite. He earned his DMD at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry and his MD at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, and completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at UAB Hospital. He joined Molly in 2008, helped open the Anaheim Hills office in 2016, and added Fullerton when it opened in 2023.

Corrective jaw surgery is the center of his practice. He plans each case with the orthodontist from the first visit, uses 3D CBCT scans and virtual surgical planning to rehearse the jaw movements, and sees patients through the year or more of orthodontics that usually comes before and after. He also performs maxillomandibular advancement for adults with obstructive sleep apnea who have not tolerated CPAP, repairs facial fractures, and treats TMJ disorders, starting with conservative care whenever possible.

Dr. Haddad is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He wrote Molly’s guide to recovering from jaw surgery, and his patients say the guide sounds like him: frank about swelling, numbness and the soft-food weeks, and reassuring about how most people feel by the second month. He consults in Arabic and English and often has parents, siblings and the patient all at the same consultation table.
