Services
Orthodontic Care
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults using advanced techniques. Our services address dental misalignment and facial aesthetics through personalized treatment plans. We combine bracket prescriptions with temperature-sensitive archwires to achieve gentle, controlled tooth movement while prioritizing patient comfort and long-term oral health outcomes.
Metal Braces
High-quality metal braces featuring durable brackets and flexible archwires for effective tooth alignment. These braces allow for customizable color options while maintaining structural integrity. Our system reduces emergency appointments through superior bracket adhesion, ensuring efficient treatment completion with fewer adjustments required during the orthodontic process.
Ceramic Braces
Aesthetic ceramic braces offering the same effectiveness as metal braces with discreet appearance. Made from non-discoloring ceramic material, these braces provide full upper and lower arch treatment options. Ideal for adult patients seeking conservative dental aesthetics while achieving precise tooth alignment through advanced orthodontic technology.
Invisalign
Virtually invisible aligner system for discreet teeth straightening with removable trays. As an Invisalign Certified Provider since 2001, Dr. Martinez offers customized treatment plans using sequential aligners that gradually reposition teeth without traditional brackets or wires, maintaining oral hygiene convenience.
Interceptive Care
Specialized orthodontic intervention for children aged 7-11 focusing on jaw development and bite correction. Utilizing growth modification appliances at optimal timing windows, this treatment addresses skeletal discrepancies early to reduce future extraction needs and surgical interventions while optimizing facial aesthetics and occlusion development.
