Meet the Team

It truly takes a team to run a great orthodontic practice, and we’re proud of the team at Smiles for Maine Orthodontics. Each one has been carefully selected for not just their expertise, but for a great blend of personalities to create a warm, caring experience for our patients and their families.

Many of our assistants are certified by the Dental Assisting National Board, and all have State of Maine dental radiology licenses. Each assistant is highly trained, and everyone participates in various continuing education opportunities throughout the year, so they are up-to-date and able to care for you at the highest level.
