Introduction

Dr. Martin provides orthodontic treatment for adults, adolescents and children. We follow the guidelines established by the American Association of Orthodontists by recommending that an orthodontic evaluation take place at age 7 for all children. This early evaluation can help to determine the best time to begin any necessary treatment.

Many progressive treatments are available for patients 7 to 11 years of age, that provide significant benefits, especially when jaw irregularities are present. These treatments may also prevent certain conditions from worsening. Treating children with these types of problems during their growth stages allows our practice to achieve results that may not be possible when face and jawbones have fully developed. This early treatment intervention can simplify future treatment that may be necessary to establish proper bite alignment.

For adults who are considering treatment it is also a very exciting time. A significant portion of Dr. Martin’s practice is devoted to adult care. His background in restorative dentistry, tempomandibular joint dysfunction and dental esthetics allows for the success of his adult treatments.
