About Progressive Orthodontic Associates
A doctor personally answered a late-night retainer emergency, and staff once drove aligner trays to a patient's home after a car breakdown.
Dr. Dawn Lozano Martin and the team at Progressive Orthodontic Associates draw particular notice for handling retainer problems and other after-hours emergencies, including same-day repairs and one case where the doctor intervened personally outside office hours. Reviews also mention smooth transitions for patients transferring mid-treatment from other orthodontists, and early phase 1 treatment for younger children starting before problems worsen. Longtime patients note the office remembers them by name years after finishing treatment, and cases like an impacted canine or an underbite corrected without surgery are described in detail.

I had the best experience at progressive orthodontics! They were so flexible with me throughout my treatments with me being a truck driver and my results came out absolutely amazing! Emi at the front desk was always sweet and helpful and Jayden took care of me through my whole treatment! The whole staff was truly amazing! Highly recommend for braces!
Love everything about this office! The office itself is gorgeous and comfortable. Dr. Martin and her entire team are incredibly kind and informative throughout the entire process. This is the place for your orthodontic needs!
The only thing I enjoyed more than my Invisalign journey with Progressive Orthodontics is the wonderful professionals I met along the way. I decided to begin my Invisalign journey around three years ago, and I was prepared for a long and sometimes challenging process. Dr. Martin and Associates helped ease me through the process, giving me peace of mind and all the tools and support I needed to be successful. Furthermore, when it came time for me to start my dental implant journey as I neared the end of my Invisalign treatment, they worked seamlessly with my oral surgeon and my dentist to ensure my smile dreams would come true. Dr. Martin has a wonderful spirit and is passionate about her work. It's clear that she will never settle for less than the best. Thank you, Dr. Martin and team, for taking this three-year journey with me, and for giving me the gift of a smile that I can always be excited to show off. You made my dreams come true.
Dr. Martin and staff are the BEST! I highly recommend!! Emi and Selena very welcoming and professional! If you need Invisalign and/ or braces - this is THE PLACE to go! Smiles welcome!!
Everyone there is so kind. Meredith was so amazing to work with. She was quick and efficient but never made me feel like a rushed patient. Definitely would recommend to anyone that needs orthodontal care!
