Meet Dr. Martinez
Dr. Fernando L. Martinez graduated from Duke University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. He then spent an additional year as a research fellow in neurobiology before continuing his education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) in 1997 and membership in the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon honorary dental society. As a dental student, Dr. Martinez furthered his research experience by studying infection control in the practice of orthodontics, receiving an Albert Schweitzer Fellowship for his work to establish a public dental clinic for underserved patients in North Carolina.
He completed his clinical orthodontic specialty training and earned his orthodontic certificate from Indiana University in 1999. In July 1999, Dr. Martinez began his private practice as an orthodontist in Cincinnati, OH, but continued working on his master's thesis. In 2001, following the completion of his research thesis in orthodontic cephalometry, he earned his Master of Science in Dentistry (M.S.D.) also from IU.
Continued Education for Advanced Orthodontic Treatment
Dr. Martinez recognizes the importance of staying up-to-date with the rapid changes in orthodontics and continues to spend in excess of 100 hours per year on continuing education, more than five times the amount required by the Ohio State Dental Board. He is a member of the Greater Cincinnati Dental Study Club and founded the Western Hills Interdisciplinary Study Club, a forum for dentists and dental specialists to make decisions on the most difficult dental patients. He is also a founding member of the Progressive Study Club, a national orthodontic group that meets annually to discuss the latest developments in orthodontics. He holds professional memberships in local and national dental associations, such as the Cincinnati Dental Society, Ohio Dental Association, American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).
Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment in Cincinnati
As a result of Dr. Martinez's extensive training and continuing education, he offers the latest orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign, orthopedic (jaw growing) appliances, and clear braces. Cutting-edge techniques, such as TADs, allow him to treat many patients without jaw surgery or to make previously difficult treatments easy.
Dr. Martinez's Family
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1970, he has lived in the United States since 1975 and was raised in Miami, Florida. While attending Duke University, he met his wife, Tiffiny. She is a physician currently working at the University and Children's Hospital. They were married in 1997 and welcomed daughters Nina in 2002 and Maya in 2003. They reside in Colerain Township. Dr. Martinez's main interest outside of dentistry is being a good husband and father, but he also likes to play with computers and electronic gadgets, and is a pizza connoisseur!
