Dr. Hadi Daia DDS, MS, FRCD(C)

Professional Statement

trong>Dr. Hadi Daia was awarded his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) in 2005. After practicing general dentistry, Dr. Daia noticed a gap in the field and a lack of practitioners that look at the whole picture. There were few clinicians that understood the neuromuscular components of the teeth, jaws, head, and neck. After coming to this realization, Dr. Daia decided to take a hiatus to pursue Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) and Orofacial Pain studies with a concentration in headaches and migraines. This concentration helped him understand how the jaws and teeth should work in harmony with the rest of the human body. Dr. Daia completed a residency at the University at Buffalo where he earned his Master’s Degree in Oral Sciences in 2010. 

After taking a great interest in technology and what it could offer to (TMJ) and Orofacial Pain, Dr. Daia published a book titled, Low Level Laser Therapy for Management of Temporomandibular Disorders. The book launch and the extensive research that followed fueled a new quest for Dr. Daia as he discovered how to maintain a healthy, functional musculoskeletal system while perfecting the smile. The book launch and the extensive research also provided him guidance in how to achieve healthy dentition and beautiful smiles for life. This insight led him to complete another residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University at Buffalo in 2014. Shortly after, Dr. Daia was granted a diplomate status with the American Board of Orthodontics, American Board of Orofacial Pain and a fellowship status with the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, in the speciality of Orthodontics. Dr. Daia is one of the few doctors in the world to attain this level of commitment, expertise, knowledge, and excellence in this field.

After traveling the world to expand his repertoire in finding new treatment modalities for orthognathic surgery, sleep medicine, and rare conditions like burning mouth syndrome (BMS), Dr. Daia remains committed to serving his patients and the community at large. He professionally served in several non-profit organizations including the Edmonton Regional Search & Rescue Association in Alberta, Canada, the Niagara Frontier Search & Rescue Team in upstate New York, & H.E.A.L. International in Buffalo, New York. Dr. Daia is currently on the board of executive directors for the International Institute of Metropolitan Detroit and Syrian American Rescue Network both serving immigrants and refugees in the Metro Detroit area.
