This place is incredible. I received a permanent bonded retainer over 20 years ago that finally…read moregave up the ghost during quarantine. Everywhere I called said they wouldn't replace it ... except Dr. Murphy's office. That was a relief but a little anxiety inducing in itself. With all that said, and the fact that it had definitely been a minute since an orthodontics appointment, Southern Maine Orthodontics made me feel welcome and informed every step of the way. The front desk staff were extremely thorough and informed when explaining my insurance coverage over the phone prior to my appointment. Once there, the dental technicians were friendly and gentle and made me feel comfortable. And finally Dr. Murphy was a really funny and skilled orthodontist who replaced my retainer in no time at all. It was literally fun, easy, cheap, and painless! Afterwards, Dr. Murphy recommended Invisalign which I admitted wasn't affordable to me now, but he made a plan to work with me if I chose to get it at a later date. I often dread the dentist, and I was worried about replacing my retainer, but the whole team made it truly a wonderful and easy experience.

Appointments were prompt, efficient and dare I say even fun. Honestly it's *almost* a shame I'm done treatment.

Having been a patient of Michelle Shems, I found the practice efficient and clean. never really had…read moreany issues. I spent the traditional $4-5k for a top and bottom straightening (probably much more by now). I also had my kids braces put on there and also my ex-wife's as well. in all I spent well over $25k for here services. Here's my issue, I went in recently and wanted to purchase a invisalign replacement aligner and was told that each aligner was going to be $250 each. It's a small piece of plastic. My initial thought was, wow, I spent over $25k with this practice and they still want to ram me for a couple pieces of plastic. Really leaves a poor taste in my mouth. Buyer beware. The original service may be good, but if you need any follow up, it's gonna cost you again.
