Martin Orthodontics has a second office at 410 N Main Street in downtown Chiefland, so Levy County families can be seen for orthodontic care without making the full drive to Gainesville. Our Chiefland office sees patients on Tuesdays. Treatment is supervised by Dr. Paul Martin and Dr. Dave Martin, the same two orthodontists who run our Jonesville office. Their father, Dr. Bill Martin, founded the practice in 1979.
What Brings Chiefland Patients to Martin Orthodontics
Most of the orthodontic options in Levy County involve driving to Gainesville, Ocala, or Lake City. Our Chiefland office removes that drive for the parts of treatment that can be handled locally. For Levy County families, that often means new-patient consultations, routine adjustments, and check-ins on Tuesdays in Chiefland — with more involved appliances or unusual procedures handled at the Jonesville office on other days.
The other thing patients tell us they value: the same two orthodontists see them every visit. Whether your appointment is at the Chiefland office or the Jonesville office, you are seeing Dr. Paul or Dr. Dave Martin. No rotating staff, no handoffs to associates you have not met.
Services We Offer at Our Chiefland Office
Our Chiefland office handles the day-to-day parts of orthodontic treatment:
- Free consultations for kids, teens, and adults considering treatment
- Routine adjustments during active braces or aligner treatment
- Retainer check-ins after treatment is complete
- Initial evaluations for children (we follow the American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation of a first evaluation by age 7)
For longer procedures — bonding appointments, removal day, specialty appliances, or anything requiring more chair time than a Tuesday slot allows — we coordinate with you to schedule those visits at our Jonesville office at 13820 W Newberry Rd, Suite 300. Patients who are weighing braces, clear aligners, and cost can read our guide to braces cost in Gainesville before their consultation.

About Chiefland, FL

Our office at 410 N Main Street is in the downtown commercial corridor, walkable from the Chiefland post office and the Levy County Sheriff’s substation.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Chiefland office open?
Tuesdays, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For appointments outside of Tuesdays or for longer procedures that need more chair time, we coordinate with you to schedule at our main Jonesville office at 13820 W Newberry Rd, Suite 300.
Which orthodontist will I see in Chiefland?
Dr. Paul Martin or Dr. Dave Martin. Both run both offices. Whether you visit our Chiefland office on Tuesday or our Jonesville office during the week, you are seeing the same two orthodontists every appointment. Their father, Dr. Bill Martin, founded the practice in 1979.
What does a free consultation include?
A digital scan of your teeth (no gooey impressions), a complete exam with Dr. Paul or Dr. Dave, a review of your treatment options, and a firm quote for the recommended plan. No pressure, no obligation to book treatment that day.
Do you take insurance for Chiefland patients?
We accept most major dental and orthodontic insurance plans, and we file the claim for you. If orthodontics is not covered on your plan, we offer in-house payment options with flexible financing. You will get a firm cost and coverage breakdown at your free consultation. For factors that affect orthodontic cost, see our guide to braces cost in Gainesville.
Can the whole treatment happen at the Chiefland office?
Most of it can. Routine adjustments, retainer check-ins, and consultations all fit comfortably into a Tuesday visit. Bonding appointments (where braces are first placed), removal-day visits, and any treatment using specialty appliances may need to happen at our Jonesville office where we have full lab access and more chair time. We will work out the schedule with you at your consultation so you know exactly what is happening where.
