Southern Maine Orthodontics

Southern Maine Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic with locations in Gorham and Scarborough, Maine. The practice is led by Dr. Christopher Murphy, a Board-Certified orthodontist and a clinical faculty member at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The clinic's philosophy centers on providing personalized, high-quality orthodontic care in a friendly, supportive, and fun environment. The clinic offers a wide array of services for patients of all ages. For children, they provide early interceptive treatment, with the American Association of Orthodontists recommending an initial screening by age seven. They have an orthodontic supervisory program to monitor a child's dental development and determine the optimal time for treatment. For adolescents, they offer both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces. A significant portion of their patient base is adults, for whom they offer various aesthetic options, including clear braces and Invisalign. Southern Maine Orthodontics is noted as a leading provider of Invisalign in the state of Maine. They utilize advanced technology, such as state-of-the-art 3D scanning, which eliminates the need for traditional, uncomfortable impressions. The practice also embraces virtual care through a virtual treatment platform, allowing patients to submit photos for Dr. Murphy to review before appointments. This commitment to modern solutions is part of their effort to make orthodontic treatment as convenient and comfortable as possible. Patient care is a high priority, with the staff dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere. The clinic offers flexible payment options, including interest-free financing and family discounts, to make treatment affordable. Dr. Murphy and his team are known for their open communication, ensuring patients and their families are well-informed about their treatment plans and progress every step of the way.
