Dr. Maryam and her office staff have taken excellent care of my patients over the past 5 years.
She is able to effectively help with snoring, sleep apnea, and TMJ pain in ways that are minimally or non invasive, safe and effective. With her thoughtful and precise techniques, she has been able to help my patients avoid extensive and invasive surgeries. I absolutely trust Dr Maryam with my patients, myself, and my family.

Dr. Maryam takes a comprehensive approach to patient care, considering the whole body in her treatment plans.
As a fellow dentist who values the connection between oral health and overall well-being, I deeply appreciate this perspective. She has an excellent chairside manner and provides thorough, thoughtful orthodontic care. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Maryam is an exceptional professional who has helped many of my patients with their snoring and sleep apnea.
I trust her so implicitly that she has cared for my family and optimized my children’s smiles and bites. The experience in her office with her staff is friendly and supportive and the results are outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Bakhityari for her orthodontic expertise.
Dr. Brett Levine, ENT
Dr. Bakhtiyari is a highly skilled orthodontist whose functional approach truly sets her apart. I deeply admire her expertise, passion for her field, and the level of care she brings to each patient.
She is incredibly thoughtful, caring, and authentic—she’s the kind of provider who truly shifts the needle and changes lives. She goes beyond aesthetics to focus on airway health, jaw development, and long-term structural balance—all of which contribute to overall health in powerful ways. As a dermatologist, I’ve learned firsthand how oral and facial anatomy can influence the skin. Her work has deepened my understanding of this connection, and I’ve seen how optimizing the mouth and airway can improve not just a patient’s smile, but also their skin, posture, and overall well-being. My family and I are proud to be her patients, and I trust her expertise completely—I often refer patients to her when a deeper, root-cause approach is needed.
