Dr. Marcus Alvarez
Dr. Alvarez specialises in clear aligners and modern orthodontic care, guiding patients of every age toward a confident, aligned smile.
Dr. Marcus Alvarez has spent twelve years moving teeth — first with fixed appliances, and increasingly with the digital aligner workflows that now make up most of his caseload. He treats teenagers and adults in roughly equal measure, and has a particular interest in adults who were told as children that it was 'too late'.
Every case begins with a digital scan and a simulation of the finished result, so patients can see where they are going before they commit. He plans conservatively, refuses to over-promise timelines, and builds in retention from day one because relapse, not treatment, is what undoes most orthodontic work.
He is also the clinician most likely to spot an airway or jaw-joint issue hiding behind a crooked smile, and will refer or co-treat rather than force a purely cosmetic fix.
“Straight teeth are the visible part. Stable teeth, a comfortable bite and a result that still looks right in twenty years — that is the actual goal.”
