The Man Behind Desman Orthodontics


Dr. Alexander Robert Desman, DMD, MS


Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) — University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine

Certificate in Orthodontics and Master of Science in Dentistry — The Ohio State University

Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Immunology — University of Miami

Dr. Alex Desman grew up in Palm City and is proud to care for families throughout the Treasure Coast. With a strong connection to the community, he is committed to helping patients achieve healthier, more confident smiles through thoughtful orthodontic care.


His interest in orthodontics began in 2004, when he experienced treatment firsthand. Seeing how improved alignment and function could positively affect his confidence inspired him to pursue a career helping others experience similar benefits. That personal experience continues to shape how he connects with patients and approaches treatment planning.


Dr. Desman believes that successful treatment starts with listening and education. He takes time to answer questions, explain treatment options, and help patients understand what to expect throughout their care. His approach emphasizes careful planning, open communication, and recommendations tailored to each patient's orthodontic needs.
