The entire team at Martin Family Orthodontics will be with you every step of the way towards a healthy & bright smile!

Invisalign treatment with invisible and removal trays gradually reposition misaligned teeth without the inconvenience and discomfort of traditional wire braces. As you progress through the Invisalign trays and improve your bite alignment, other significant health advantages are taking affect.
A Healthy Bite and Straight Teeth Matter
The primary purpose of orthodontic treatment is to create a healthy bite—straight teeth that properly meet opposing teeth in the opposite jaw. A good bite makes it easier for you to bite, chew and speak.
If your teeth are crowded, protrusive, spaced too far apart, meet in an abnormal way, or do not meet at all, correction may be recommended. Braces and aligners are the “appliances” orthodontists most commonly use to guide your teeth into their proper positions. Retainers preserve and stabilize the results of your orthodontic treatment.
From reducing your risk of gum disease to improving bite functions and overall dental health, there are many clear benefits when you choose to undergo Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign addresses jaw-related issues by improving alignment. Untreated bite problems can lead to more serious oral complications, including cavities, tooth loss, gum infection, enamel erosion and even difficulties with speech or eating.
Like traditional braces, Invisalign also corrects a range of tooth misplacement. Crooked, gapped and crowded teeth are no match for this treatment, which uses a series of progressive disposable aligners to gradually align teeth.
Orthodontics for Oral Health
Oral health is often taken for granted. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body that shows signs of nutritional deficiencies or general infection. Systemic diseases may first become apparent because of mouth lesions or other oral problems.
Some 100 million Americans fail to see a dentist each year, even though regular dental examinations and good oral hygiene can prevent most dental disease. Many people believe that they need to see a dentist only if they are in pain or think something is wrong, but regular dental visits can contribute to a lifetime of good oral health.
You can practice good oral hygiene by always brushing your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth once a day with floss or another interdental cleaner, replacing your toothbrush every three or four months and by eating a balanced diet and limiting between-meal snacks. Don't forget to schedule regular dental check-ups to keep your smile, and yourself, healthy.
We invite you to make 2021 a great year by focusing on your health & smile. Pleasant Hill’s Dr. Jennifer L. Martin and team love transforming lives, one smile at a time. We work one-to-one with each patient to determine their clinical needs and care goals, and then develop individual treatment paths to create their healthy new smile.

Safety Is Our Highest Priority for You and Your Children
We have heard from many parents who have children at home from school. We understand the challenges of working, studying & all living under the same roof. One of the benefits of our situation is we have everyone from grade-school to college aged students available to see their dentist & orthodontist. Jennifer L. Martin, DDS is safely re-opened and following strict CDC, OSHA & ADA safety requirements. As a parent you can confidently schedule your children with us to get caught up on their orthodontic care.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first check-up with an orthodontist no later than age 7. By that age, a child will have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and the orthodontist will be able to recognize orthodontic problems (“malocclusions”) even in their earliest stages.
If your child is younger than 7, and you notice something that appears “off,” it’s not necessary to wait until your child turns 7 or get a recommendation from your dentist to get a first check-up. If your child is 8 or older, it is not too late for a check-up with an orthodontist. AAO Children Recommendation
Teens, College Students & Young Adults
Nobody knows when school may resume with full classroom operations. College students likely will study remotely through the remainder of 2020. The college years are a time that appointment are tough to make with your hometown orthodontist. We encourage all college students to use this time to check-in with us so we can evaluate your smile & get you back on track if needed.
