Spanish

Dr. María José Marín is a specialist in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics focused on facial growth, airway health, digital treatment planning, and orthodontic preparation for orthognathic surgery.

Her philosophy is centered on creating healthy, functional, and balanced facial development through comprehensive orthodontic care.

For many patients, orthodontic treatment involves much more than straight teeth. Facial growth, jaw development, airway health, and bite function all play an important role in long-term oral health and quality of life.

Dr. María José’s approach focuses not only on achieving aesthetic results, but also on supporting proper function, facial harmony, and long-term stability through personalized treatment planning.
