Get to know Orthodontist Dr. Byron Bonebreak, who serves patients in Maryland.

Dr. Bonebreak, a board-certified orthodontist, works alongside Drs. Ariana Feizi and Omar Elnabawi at Vanguard Orthodontics, with offices in Fulton and Clarksville, Maryland. 

He enjoys the rewards of helping satisfy patients’ orthodontic needs while having a positive effect on their lives, especially for children and teenagers. He is a firm believer that an improved appearance through orthodontic treatment can greatly enhance one’s self-esteem, and enhanced self-esteem can improve one’s quality of life.

“Orthodontics enables me to play an important part in improving the dental health and self-esteem of my patients, young and old alike! I feel that there is no greater compliment than when former patients come back just to visit, and many times for me to treat their children” expressed Dr. Bonebreak.

In order to become an orthodontist, he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. He then graduated from West Virginia University with his Master of Science degree and a Certificate of Orthodontics.

Board-certified in orthodontics, Dr. Bonebreak is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). He has voluntarily gone through hundreds of additional hours of preparation to demonstrate the judgment, skills, and knowledge required to provide the highest level of patient care.

In order to stay abreast of all the changes and improvements in the science of orthodontics, Dr. Bonebreak continually participates in continuing education courses. This allows him to treat his patients with the most modern and effective procedures and materials. 

Among his professional affiliations, he is an active member of the Maryland State Dental Association, the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontists, and the Maryland State Dental Association.

As a Professor of Orthodontics at the University of Maryland, Dr. Bonebreak plays a role in the dental education of many of the young dentists and orthodontists in Maryland and the surrounding states. Teaching encourages him to use the most technologically advanced methods of modern orthodontic treatment. This includes 3-Dimensional Cone Beam CT imaging, soft-tissue laser procedures, reduced-friction self-ligating braces, gentle “space age” memory alloy wires, temporary anchorage devices (TADs), Invisalign® clear aligners, and aesthetic ceramic braces.

Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws. An orthodontist is a dentist with specialty training to diagnose, prevent, and treat teeth and jaw irregularities. They correct existing conditions and are trained to identify problems that may develop in the future. Orthodontists work with people of all ages, from children to adults.

Originally from Cumberland, Dr. Bonebreak has lived in Howard County for more than 25 years. His favorite weekend activities involve watching the Skins, Ravens, and Orioles. He likes to play just about any sport involving a ball and hopes to take up running one day.

Also, Dr. Bonebreak is very likely to show up at his patients’ school plays and sporting events. He really enjoys seeing them participate in the activities he enjoyed as a student.

As a Navy Reservist working for the Guidance and Admissions Department at the Naval Academy, Dr. Bonebreak has awarded appointments to the Naval Academy to Howard County students that, in total, have a value of more than 14 million dollars!
