I had a unique situation come up with my permanent retainer, and the staff was amazing and accommodating. Dr. Patterson fixed it personally and did not charge for it. My family and I will continue coming here for our orthodontic needs for sure!

All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They are great with kids and make everyone feel comfortable. We even received a text wishing my daughter well when she needed surgery for something completely unrelated to anything dental. Highly recommend!!

Lindsey helped me start my aligner journey. I was extremely anxious, but I was immediately put at ease. She talked me through every step of the way, and explained everything. I felt no pain, and I know she made it as painless as possible. Thank you so much Lindsey, you're one of the best!

5/5 stars. The entire experience was handled professionally from start to finish. They were consistently patient and understanding, especially during times when I fell behind on treatment, and they made sure I stayed on track without pressure or judgment. The staff was welcoming, respectful, and easy to work with at every visit. Overall, the level of care, communication, and support made a process that could’ve been stressful feel smooth and manageable. Highly recommend.

Dr Brian and team were amazing! We started our journey meeting with Lynn. She walked us through the process of getting set up with a two phase treatment plan. With the help of Kira and Lindsey my daughter has finished her phase one treatment! They did a great job minimizing pain and discomfort. The front desk Renee and Gabrielle were always accommodating to fit appointments into our schedule. We would recommend the team at Smiles for ME to anyone needing orthodontic care.

Hands down, a 10+ experience at Smiles for Maine! From the moment I walked in, everything felt so welcoming, well organized and the office is spotless! This office makes it fun with the cutest patient campaigns and challenges that keep everyone engaged. As someone who owns a dental hygiene center, I notice the details — and I was genuinely impressed. The team is not only highly skilled but also so kind and attentive. You can tell they truly care about their patients. A big shoutout to Lindsay, who treated me! She was friendly, gentle, and clearly loves what she does. I left smiling, not just because of the treatment, but because the whole experience was that good. I highly recommend Smiles for Maine Orthodontics to anyone looking for exceptional, compassionate care and a team that goes above and beyond.
