About Dolphin Braces
Dr. Camaron Martin draws praise for perfectionist, detail-oriented care, with braces patients often describing multi-year journeys ending in smiles reviewers call exceptional.
Dolphin Braces treats an unusually high volume of traditional braces patients, and reviews often describe multi-year journeys, some lasting close to 30 months, ending in what patients call dramatic smile transformations. Dr. Camaron Martin is repeatedly described as a perfectionist who keeps families informed at each step, and the office is noted for working well with young children and households treating several kids at once. Retainers come up more than at typical practices, and while many reviews are positive, a handful describe disputes over cost or product type after treatment finished.

They would have got a five star until today!! My daughter had a great experience with the whole braces experience, but today half of her permanent retainer came off and its hanging down in her mouth and we called to get her in to fix this issue and they could not get her in for another week to 3 weeks!! Like WHAT!!! This wire is hanging down in her mouth it is sharp and she will not be able to eat!!! Oh they said sorry we are booked!!! Like this is what I would consider an emergency in the braces world but I guess it’s not to them!!! They said we can put you on a cancellation list!! WHAT!! Oh and if she takes it off or it comes all the way off it will be $300 to replace!!! WTH well by the time they get her in there I am sure it will be off!!! So needless to say we had to find another orthodontist to fix her retainer that’s sad!!!
