As orthodontists in Maine, we get to initiate change! Change not only in someone's confidence and new smile, but change in the community as a whole. We live here too! The philosophy behind Mbrace Orthodontics stems from our belief that we should empower our patients and lift up the communities where we live and work.
As a team, there is nothing better than seeing a patient get through treatment in clear braces or Invisalign and have a big, beaming smile filled with self-confidence and pride. It's what we strive for, and every single person here is brought into that goal. We have strong values that determine the kind of office we want this to be and the type of experience people should expect.

Services
With that in mind, we've designed every square inch of this office to meet that goal. What that looks like is that when you walk through these doors you feel comfortable, at ease, and empowered! From our fresh coffee and tea bar to our waiting area, to our homework stations - every inch of Mbrace Orthodontics was designed with YOU in mind.
Sometimes headgear is required. That's okay. You may not love it, but it will help tremendously and we want to help you understand the ins and outs of it so you can get out of it sooner than later. Creating beautiful, lifelong smiles in Portland, Cumberland, Gorham, Windham, Yarmouth, Westbrook and Cumberland County Maine.
We are so humbled that we have the opportunity to do a job that we both really love. We have this privilege that lets us live out what we truly believe is our life purpose - to change people's lives and to make amazing smiles. Creating beautiful, lifelong smiles in Portland, Cumberland, Gorham, Windham, Yarmouth, Westbrook and Cumberland County Maine.
I live my life with the mindset that we must surround ourselves with what brings us happiness and gives us energy. For me, that is my family, my friends, my passion for giving back to my community and positive attitudes! I love watching a smile transform into a positive result that changes a person's life.
I love to travel and hike with my best friend (who happens to be my husband) and my other three besties - my kids. Together we love to explore and to cook and to EAT! I also LOVE teaching and learning with my students at the University of New England College of Dental Medicine. Most mornings these include the family and friends who enrich my days and with whom I spend as much time with as possible.

I highly recommend the practice of Mbrace Orthodontics. I have just finished three years of orthodontic work with them. From the initial meetings to arranging a payment plan to the obvious care and friendliness of the staff I can not say enough good about the care these professionals have taken to create a practice where the patient is empowered be she a child or an adult.
I am an adult and a teacher. I was continually impressed with how each staff member interacted with each patient. I loved how the children were encouraged to sign in themselves and lead their work. When we were submerged in

I completed orthodontic treatment at Mbrace Orthodontics and I am extremely happy with my results. During my treatment I was working in sales and it was really important to me that I felt confident while talking with clients. Invisalign helped me correct my smile while also being comfortable presenting and speaking in front of other people. I enjoyed seeing both Dr. Mac and Dr. Meg and appreciated that I had two doctors working together on my treatment plan. I highly recommend Mbrace Orthodontics!

My son has been a patient here for several years. He was on the older end of the spectrum for getting braces as a teenager. Mbrace made this a very easy/comfortable process for him. The staff in all departments (i.e. reception, financial, hygienist, doctors) have always greeted us with a smile and have graciously answered any questions we have had. I would highly recommend Mbrace Orthodontics for anyone in need of braces no matter what your age.

We initially met with Dr. Meg, who spent quality time with us going over options explaining them fully. We were getting a 2nd opinion and felt that her recommendations were best for our son. He has now completed his treatments with great success, and throughout the whole process, it was a pleasure to work with both doctors and the entire staff. They are all so kind, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about their work. The office is also very clean, comfortable and modern... and we'll get to continue our visits, as our daughter is now a patient as well!

I love Mbrace Orthodontics!
From the beautiful and CLEAN environment, to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, I have nothing but great things to say about this place.
I came to them about a year ago asking for Invisalign because I was 22 at the time and really wanted to perfect my smile ... fast forward a year later, I am already done with the process and now I cannot stop showing off my beautiful smile :) A big thank you to Dr. Mac Carthy and her team for their expertise and care.

MBrace orthodontics has not disappointed. My son, now 12, has had a great experience. This was a kid who didn’t like the dentist for years. He’s currently in Phase 1 of his dental experience where he’s had a palette expander, short term braces, and now his second retainer (top)and working on a third (Bottom)retainer. Each experience has been tolerated very well because of the care given. He still has a way to go but we have been given a clear explanation as to what’s to come. Each procedure has been explained so that my son understands and feels comfortable. I have no doubt that his teeth

I recently completed invisalign treatment at Mbrace and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. For context, I'm a 33 year old male and I sought out Mbrace after realizing that some movement along my bottom row of teeth was only going to continue if left unaddressed. The free consult was thorough and informative and my first opportunity to interact with their kind, competent, and professional team. Dr. Mac Carthy, who is so upbeat and positive, is passionate about her work. She was great about informing and educating as I progressed through treatment so I knew what was happening

While vacationing in Maine from Atlanta, GA, I broke a wire that had been behind my lower teeth for 30 years when I had my braces removed. Through a friend in Atlanta, he referred me to mBrace. I called and shared my situation and had an appointment for the next morning to have the wire removed. Daphne was very helpful on the call and in the office. The office is so clean which I loved and I really enjoyed hearing the staff interact with the other patient in the waiting room (she was a bit nervous about her treatment). Dr. Mac Carthy was so kind and engaging. Plus she removed my wire effortlessly
