Midcoast Orthodontics

Midcoast Orthodontics is an orthodontic clinic providing a comprehensive range of dental straightening services to patients in Midcoast Maine. The clinic operates across three convenient locations in Brunswick, Bath, and Damariscotta, offering flexible scheduling to accommodate patients' needs. The practice is helmed by Dr. Doug MacGilpin, an experienced Orthodontist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery and a Master's degree in orthodontics. Dr. MacGilpin is known for his professional, friendly, and fun approach, and his commitment to making the orthodontic treatment experience as easy and enjoyable as possible for patients of all ages. The clinic prides itself on offering state-of-the-art treatment options and embracing advanced technology to enhance patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy. A key piece of technology is the iTero® Element™ intraoral scanner, which creates detailed 3D digital models of a patient's teeth and gums. This digital scanning system eliminates the need for traditional, messy impressions, providing a more comfortable and precise experience. The scans are used for various orthodontic services, including a simulation of potential post-treatment smiles with the Invisalign Outcome Simulator. Midcoast Orthodontics provides a variety of treatment modalities to suit individual patient needs and preferences. These include: Traditional metal braces: A time-tested and effective method for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. Clear ceramic braces: A less noticeable alternative to metal braces for patients who are concerned about aesthetics. Invisalign® clear aligners: A popular, virtually invisible option for straightening teeth, offering convenience and comfort as the aligners are removable. The clinic also emphasizes a patient-centered approach, starting with a complimentary initial consultation to discuss treatment goals, perform an oral exam, and create a customized treatment plan. In addition to a focus on clinical excellence, Midcoast Orthodontics works to make treatment accessible by accepting most dental insurance plans and offering in-house financing options. The team, including administrative and orthodontic treatment staff, is dedicated to creating a welcoming, stress-free environment for patients throughout their treatment journey.
