Welcome to Maryland Orthodontic Specialists, where we are dedicated to providing exceptional orthodontic solutions tailored to your lifestyle and personal preferences. Led by Dr. Maxine Clark, our team of professionals is committed to helping patients of all ages achieve a beautiful and confident smile. With locations in Ellicott City and Catonsville, Maryland, we are here to serve you.
Meet Dr. Clark
Dr. Clark has been specializing in orthodontics for over 30 years, with a focus on correcting spaced and crowded teeth, as well as jaw malformations and dysfunctions. As a U.S. Army veteran and recipient of several awards, she is passionate about mentoring young adults in dentistry. Dr. Clark's parents, a railroad engineer and a construction pioneer, instilled in her the importance of higher education, which has been instrumental in her success. She has also volunteered her time on advisory boards and works with the Women's Giving Circle in Howard County.
Comprehensive Treatment
At Maryland Orthodontic Specialists, we offer a range of treatment options to suit your needs. In addition to traditional metal and ceramic braces, we utilize the latest innovative technology, including Invisalign. Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of clear, customized removable appliances called aligners, offering a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces.
First Visit
We are excited to meet new patients during their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment includes a thorough examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. This comprehensive consultation gives us valuable insight into your orthodontic needs. We strive to make the most of your time, and therefore, we also reserve time following the exam for diagnostic records, which include X-rays, photos, and impressions for study models.
Financing Options
