Bruce Podhouser, an Orthodontist with Orthodontic Associates
Get to know Orthodontist Dr. Bruce Podhouser, who serves patients in Scarborough, Maine & North Conway, New Hampshire.
For over three decades, Dr. Podhouser has been creating the smiles that people love to show off. He started practicing at Orthodontic Associates in 1992 and added a satellite office in downtown North Conway in 1996.
“We commit to offering the finest quality orthodontic treatment by hiring and training the most qualified team; by staying current with changing trends through on-going professional development; and by updating in-office technology to offer the most innovative forms of treatment and care” as stated on the practice’s website.
After graduating from Tufts Dental School and completing a one-year General Practice Residency, which involved a significant amount of emergency dentistry and head and facial trauma, Dr. Podhouser continued on with a two-year orthodontic residency at Montefiore-Albert Einstein Medical Center in New York City. He focused on joining an established practice in Maine—a place he fell in love with after a college ski trip to Sugarloaf.
Committed to practicing every day with integrity, Dr. Podhouser works hard to continually evolve OA into the most modern and technologically innovative orthodontic practice in northern New England—including a recently added digital scanning machine that replaces those uncomfortable impressions that many patients dread.
OA offers treatment options for patients of all ages, including lingual (behind the teeth) and invisible braces. In fact, Dr. Podhouser has completed the most Invisalign cases in the state of Maine.
Highly involved in the dental community at the local and national level, he volunteers with the Maine Medical Center Cleft Palate Team. He is also a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the New England Orthodontic Study Club, the Maine Orthodontic Association (past-president), and the Greater Portland Dental Society (past-president).
Having successfully presented cases to a panel and passed a rigorous series of exams, Dr. Podhouser has earned the prestigious title of Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. This esteemed position reflects his exceptional expertise and dedication in the field.
Orthodontics is a dentistry specialty that addresses the diagnosis, prevention, management, and correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns. It may also address the modification of facial growth, known as dentofacial orthopedics. Orthodontists are specialist dentists who are trained in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. They provide a wide range of treatment options to straighten crooked teeth, fix bad bites, and align the jaws correctly.
When not attending continuing education seminars, Dr. Podhouser’s weekends are happily spent out in nature with his family: hiking, mountain biking, waterskiing, snowboarding, and playing tennis.
