Maine Orthodontics

The Orthodontist at Maine Orthodontics works on bites and smiles rather than cavities or cleanings. Teeth can be aligned with braces, clear aligners, or space maintainers for younger patients. Early interceptive care sometimes involves palatal expanders or habit appliances. Follow-up visits track progress and may include digital scans to avoid messy impressions. Retainers—fixed or removable—round out the process once the active hardware is removed. Finishing details focus on bite stability and long-term alignment. The practice is a fixture near Portland’s Washington Avenue corridor, a short jog from older brick storefronts and newer townhomes. The same street hosts cafés and a colors-meet-hardware vibe that fades into quiet residential squares. Parking along the avenue alternates pressure, so drivers often use the side lanes or small side streets tucked behind the parallel rows. Connecting by phone avoids misdialing and the automated prompts common in larger chains; the practice can confirm first visits or clarify insurance details up front. Call (207) 797-5577 to check on available time slots or to set an initial diagnostic visit. They don’t handle cleaning or extractions, so it’s a straight referral if a patient needs both straightening and cavity work.
