As her involvement in the study club deepened, so did her interest in orthodontics. Recognizing the crucial role a patient's bite plays in overall dental health, she decided to pursue a career in orthodontics.

Her master’s thesis studied airway changes following orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Martusiewicz looks forward to bringing her perspective and experience to the office. Having spent 9 years as a general dentist, she is passionate about providing orthodontic results that are more than just straight teeth. It is important to her that each patient's treatment is personalized to establish a functional occlusion that will last a lifetime.
