As a functional orthodontist, Dr. Martin Gochnour looks beyond the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, and focuses primarily on the relationship between the teeth, muscles and joints, to ensure a healthy smile with a functionally correct bite. This may be achieved through Invisalign aligners or traditional braces, and we create a customized treatment plan for you to see the greatest results.

Ive proudly served as Madison Areas Best Orthodontic Specialist of Choice for over 20 years. Ive also had the privilege of serving my country in the United States Army, and Air Force, and planted many Orthodontic practices across the US.

As a young man I received my undergraduate degree in Aviation Business while serving as a helicopter pilot in the United States Army. After flying commercially as a civilian, I transitioned my career towards dentistry.

During the Gulf War I served in the United States Air Force while practicing Dentistry, and afterward I was accepted to an advanced orthodontic residency program at The University of Texas Health Science Center.

Later I attended the Roth-Williams Course for further advanced orthodontic training and specialization in functional bite correction. I have also instructed and been actively involved with the Center for Advanced Education in Orthodontics for many years.

During my career I have had many opportunities to plant and grow orthodontic practices across the US. That said, Madison has always held a special place in my heart, as Ive spent a majority of my career living and practicing in the Madison area.

Staying up to date on the latest advancements in orthodontic techniques and philosophies has always been my top priority. Learning and introducing the advanced practices and technologies, which accompany partnerships such as Invisalign Aligners and SureSmile for braces, has allowed me to grow as a person, and an orthodontic specialist.

This has never really felt like a job because I am fueled by the conversation and humor that fills each day. I love coming to work, and I can leave the office each evening knowing that Ive given my patiences a reason to smile, and they have given me one in return.

The orthodontics industry has been around for hundreds of years. In that time, weve perfected the art of straightening teeth and correcting bite function. Sometimes the treatment is highly complex and we recommend traditional braces.
