Smile Transformations: Orthodontics for All Ages

As an orthodontist providing braces in Miami, we often treat complex adult cases that require a highly coordinated, expert approach. This young adult patient presented with a challenging situation: the front teeth did not touch when biting down, and an adult eyetooth was completely trapped up in the gums, leaving a noticeable space. Through a comprehensive orthodontic treatment plan, we effectively closed the front bite for proper chewing function. We also coordinated a minor procedure to uncover the hidden tooth, allowing us to gently and safely guide it down into its rightful place. The final result is a beautifully aligned, ...

Not all orthodontic journeys start on the right path. This patient came to us with partial braces and a desire for clinical excellence. Dr. Martinez accepted the challenge, providing the expert, hands-on care necessary to "rescue" this complex case. After 24 months of specialized treatment in our Miami orthodontic practice, we achieved a healthy, stable, and properly aligned smile. If your previous orthodontic treatment didn't achieve the results you expected, contact our office for a clinical evaluation to discuss a corrective plan.

As a specialized orthodontist, utilizing traditional braces for severe crowding is a cornerstone of our clinical practice. This teen patient presented with significantly blocked-out canines and alignment issues, requiring precise and predictable tooth movement. Traditional metal braces provided the optimal biomechanical control needed to properly align the smile both aesthetically and functionally. Here in our Kendall and Miami offices, we prioritize a concierge clinical experience. Severe crowding is often a major source of self-consciousness for teenagers. This case demonstrates how a specialized approach with traditional braces can reliably resolve complex alignment issues to create a healthy, straight smile. If you ...

If you are an adult who has been told that jaw surgery is the only way to fix your smile, this case proves there is another path. This transformation demonstrates the successful non-surgical correction of a significant anterior open bite. Using a customized, high-precision orthodontic plan, we restored full dental function and aesthetic harmony without invasive procedures. It is never too late to achieve the stable, healthy bite you deserve. Contact us today for a personal orthodontic evaluation in Kendall.

Correcting significant dental protrusion and an asymmetrical midline in adults requires precise mechanical control. For this 26-month case, I utilized traditional metal braces to retract the upper teeth and align the dental midlines for a balanced, functional smile. Because achieving this level of symmetry in adult patients requires meticulous clinical oversight, I personally managed every phase of treatment in our Miami office to ensure a stable result. If you are concerned about protruding teeth or an uneven smile, contact our office for a clinical evaluation to discuss your treatment options.

Orthodontic treatment for adults often involves managing complex dental histories. This patient in his 40s presented with a collapsed, square-shaped maxillary arch, a crossbite, and shifted midlines. Complicating the case were congenitally missing lower second premolars and over-retained primary first molars. Under the specialized care of Dr. Jesus Martinez, we utilized Rapid Palatal Expansion (RPE) to restore proper arch width and traditional braces to correct the alignment and bite. Strategic management of the primary teeth and missing permanent teeth allowed us to achieve a stable, functional result secured with fixed retainers. Orthodontic care in your 40s and beyond requires a ...

This case shows how we helped an adult patient fix crowded teeth for a beautiful, aligned result. To make sure the teeth stay perfectly in place, we used a permanent retainer (also called a fixed retainer) bonded behind the lower front teeth.

Since it’s hidden behind the teeth, it’s a completely invisible way to keep your smile secure 24/7. This is a top choice for our adult patients who want the peace of mind that their teeth won’t shift back over time. We believe in providing results that last, and this extra step ensures that smile stays exactly where it belongs. Ready ...

As a Kendall orthodontist, I frequently treat severe dental crowding. This 18-year-old college student presented with significant overlapping that often requires removing teeth. However, I successfully achieved a beautiful, broad smile without any extractions. Through a customized orthodontic approach, I created the exact space needed to perfectly align the teeth, enhancing both the appearance and the long-term health of the smile. I provide specialized care in Kendall, Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, and West Kendall. Contact us today for a personal orthodontic evaluation.

This clinical case demonstrates the correction of dental crowding using specialized orthodontic techniques. By carefully aligning the teeth, we improved both the aesthetics and the long-term health of the patient's smile. The result is a healthy, functional, and straight alignment. Contact us for a personal evaluation in our Miami or Kendall office to discuss your smile goals.

As a Kendall orthodontist, I believe improving your smile as an adult is a vital investment in both your confidence and your long-term dental health. For this patient, we utilized traditional braces to resolve moderate crowding and significant misalignment, focusing on creating a harmonious, level bite. Beyond the aesthetic transformation, properly aligned teeth are far easier to maintain, significantly reducing the risk of periodontal issues over time. Because adult bone structure requires a specialized, gentle approach to tooth movement, I personally designed and managed every stage of this treatment in our Kendall clinical suite. If you have been considering orthodontic ...

If your child has gaps due to small teeth—often referred to as "peg laterals"—targeted orthodontic care can beautifully correct the resulting size discrepancies. For this teenage patient, we carefully closed her visible spaces (diastemas) to create a continuous, properly proportioned smile arc. To ensure these newly consolidated results are protected and last a lifetime, we finalized her treatment with a bonded fixed retainer. This comprehensive approach not only enhances her confidence but establishes excellent long-term bite stability. We offer specialized orthodontic care in Kendall, Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks and West Kendall. Contact us today for a personal orthodontic evaluation.

This case is a great example of how early orthodontic treatment can make a significant difference. The patient started with a mix of baby and adult teeth, facing challenges with mild crowding and moderate overbite.

By starting at the right time, we were able to align the teeth and improve the bite, creating a healthy foundation for the rest of their adult teeth to grow in properly. This proactive approach not only creates a beautiful smile but also helps prevent more complex issues in the future. At Martinez Orthodontics, we specialize in guiding these young smiles with precision and care.

This teenager came to the office with a severe deep bite and upper side teeth that were sticking out. Over the course of 24 months with traditional braces, I safely guided the teeth into their proper places and created a healthy, comfortable bite. Because I see every patient personally at every visit, I was able to carefully monitor progress and achieve a beautiful, straight smile. Contact my Kendall office today to schedule your personal evaluation.

This adult patient visited my West Kendall practice after having braces as a teenager elsewhere. Her permanent fixed retainer became loose, and because she waited to have it repaired, the wire actually pushed her teeth out of their proper alignment. To fully restore her bite to optimal results, I treated her with traditional braces for 18 months. This case highlights a critical lesson: maintaining your fixed retainers and getting them repaired immediately is absolutely vital to protecting your smile! Additionally, sticking to a soft diet to avoid breaking hardware and maintaining excellent daily hygiene are key to keeping your treatment ...
