It is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered. We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Our office accepts payments by cash, checks, and Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards.
We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important hour long consultation will give us insight into your orthodontic needs. We know your time is valuable, so to expedite treatment, we also reserve time following the exam for diagnostic records.
No, it is not. Many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, yet many other patients take the initiative to schedule an examination themselves. 3. Will my teeth straighten out as they grow? No, they will not. The space available for the front teeth does not increase as you grow. In most people, after the permanent molars erupt, the space available for the front teeth decreases with age.
The best way to ensure a clean and healthy smile is brushing and flossing. Food particles can accumulate on teeth and in braces, and over time, turn into plaque. The bacteria that results from this accumulation can lead to gum disease, tooth decay and even loss of teeth. To avoid these problems while you are in orthodontic treatment, take special care of your braces, teeth and gums to ensure you will have the best possible result.
An underbite is characterized by the lower jaw extending out, causing the lower front teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth. Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue. The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite.

So far my experience with Dr. Clark has been great. She always makes sure I know how the process goes so that I’m not scared or uncomfortable. She’s very careful when using her hands and the tools. Also, I love how interactive her office is with the public. Every time I go there, I can’t forget the shirt that they gave me, plus report cards to earn orthobucks!!! (In the future those become gift cards!!) She and her staff are all great! My brother was the first one who came with Dr. Clark, and because we (as a family) liked her so much, now we are back. 10/10!

Consistently long wait times. We always arrive early as requested and end up waiting in the parking lot for 30-40 minutes. Please stop overbooking your patients. We are busy parents and taking time off of work to wait for you is getting very frustrating.

I go here to get my braces tighten and there is always a LONGG wait time. Like once they said to be here by 3:00 pm we get here at 3:00 and we are waiting for more than 45 minutes. They make you wait WAYYYYYYY too long.

I should have paid attention to the reviews left here. Money hungry and extremely unprofessional. They could not confirm my insurance coverage and told me I would have to pay out-of-pocket until they could confirm my coverage. I AGREED. After waiting in my car for over an hour, they called me to convey the same message! Then went on to say, they can get a room together for me, or re-schedule...LOL So I still had to wait. No thanks! They clearly did not want to see me without insurance coverage. My purse cost more than the ortho treatment I was seeking. I would not recommend this doctor.

I wish to submit this review of services provided by Dr. Maxine Clark of Maryland Orthodontic Specialists, Ellicott City. This review reflects my experience with adult orthodontics beginning November 2019. A retired school administrator and retired professional church soloist I found myself in need of extensive dental work and wanted to retain as much of my dentition as possible. I began receiving treatment from a group dental practice in Columbia Maryland. A part of my treatment plan included orthodontia. Because I hope to return to the concert stage as a sacred recitalist, orthodontic treatment
