Detailed Introduction

Martin Family Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic located at 311 Penn Ave, West Reading, PA 19611. The practice operates under the proficient care of Dr. Benjamin J. Martin, DMD, MS, who is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a published researcher. The clinic continues a legacy of over 70 years of orthodontic care in Berks County, previously known as Barrer and White Orthodontists at the same location. Their philosophy centers on providing personalized, high-quality care, treating every patient as if they were a member of their own family. They emphasize evidence-based treatment to achieve the best possible outcomes for their patients' smiles and overall oral health. Martin Family Orthodontics offers a comprehensive array of services designed to meet the diverse orthodontic needs of children, teens, and adults. These include: braces: Traditional metal braces and ceramic braces are available for comprehensive orthodontic treatment, addressing issues like overcrowding, misaligned teeth, and various bite problems (overbites, underbites, crossbites). Clear Aligners: For those seeking a more discreet option, they offer Invisalign and ULab Clear Aligners, providing a comfortable, precise, and efficient alternative to traditional braces. Early/Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment: Catching orthodontic issues early can lead to simpler and faster solutions, and the clinic provides specialized care for younger patients. Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery): For more complex dental and facial irregularities that cannot be corrected with braces alone, they offer surgical orthodontics to address severe malocclusions, jaw discrepancies, and facial asymmetry. The clinic prides itself on utilizing advanced, patient-friendly technologies such as digital impressions (eliminating messy molds), digital radiography for accuracy and safety, and an in-house orthodontic laboratory for efficient fabrication of retainers and other appliances. Martin Family Orthodontics is committed to making orthodontic care accessible and affordable. They offer flexible payment options, transparent insurance guidance, in-house interest-free payment plans, affordable down payments, and flexible monthly installments. They also provide discounts for families with multiple members receiving treatment or those who have had previous treatment at the clinic. Beyond clinical care, Martin Family Orthodontics is actively involved in the local community, sponsoring local school programs and hosting annual food drives. They also team up with local food trucks and vendors to show appreciation for their patients. Patients consistently praise Dr. Martin and his staff for their professionalism, friendliness, expertise, and the warm, inviting atmosphere of the office.

Started with Barrer and White and the transition to Matin Orthodontics was seamless. Everyone has been very nice and answered all the questions had.

If I could give a 0 star review I would. I took my daughter here when it was Barrer and White and had a phenomenal experience. Naturally when it was time for my son to get braces I didn't think twice about going back. A week before my son was set to have his braces put on I was informed the practice was sold and Dr. Martin was taking over. Dr.

Maryins treatment plan was completely different and I was not informed until my son's braces were being put on. When Dr. Martin took over the practice stopped sending monthly financial statements providing the information of what had been paid and what was still owed to the practice. Fast forward 16 months later my automatic payment was different then the regular monthly payment. I called to inquire as to why (November 2024) and was told the braces were paid in full. At the next appointment the dr informed my son that he would need braces for at least 6 more months (10 months more than the original treatment plan) when I questioned as to why Dr.

Martin accosted me yelling he would just take them off. I never asked for that I strictly wanted to know what was going on to change things so drastically. Then today I received a phone call from Pam stating there was still a balance and that insurance would be sending me a check that I had to sign over to them. She continually talked over me as I asked for a detailed statement and why there was a balance when she told me in November it was paid in full. She proceeded to hang up on me. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

My daughter was recommended to martins by her dentist. She just started her braces journey a few weeks ago and so far the staff is absolutely amazing. They work with your schedule and are extremely kind. They treat you more than just a patient! My daughter loves coming to her appointments.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Martin Family Orthodontics! I have a bad gag reflex and he and his team were so kind and caring when getting my x-rays and scans for my clear aligner treatment. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the perfect smile is second to none. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident throughout my treatment. The entire team at Martin Family Orthodontics is exceptional. They are warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about their patients.

Every visit has been a pleasure, with the staff going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Their professionalism and efficiency made the whole experience incredibly smooth. I am beyond thrilled with my results and my smile has never looked better! If you’re considering clear aligners or any orthodontic treatment, I strongly recommend Dr. Martin and his amazing team.
