Christopher Maulik, DMD, MDS

I had braces previously (approximately 25 years ago) and still wear my retainer at night. My top retainer recently broke and I needed a replacement. Dr. Maulik and the staff at Scripps Poway Orthodontics were all very accommodating. I received my new retainer within a week. I will probably go back to get a new bottom retainer as well.

Dr. Maulik and his team are beyond fantastic. Both my husband and I got braces done here and we both are very glad we found him. Dr Maulik is very warm, professional, knowledgeable and definitely knows how to handle every situation to best suit the patient.
We don’t have to waste time and effort googling, Unilocaling for an orthodontist when it’s time to send our children for braces. Highly recommend Dr Maulik and his staff.
Note: you may have to call to confirm office hours since it opens one saturday every month and during that week the hours are not as listed. Somebody

I went in for a consultation for traditional braces since my dentist suggested Invisalign and I was hoping traditional braces would be much cheaper. The office was really nice and everyone was wonderful. I really liked the doctor. He was very informative and didn’t make you feel like he was rushing you out of there. Even though my teeth are a fairly simple fix it will still cost around $ 4000 and my dentist had quoted me $ 3040 for Invisalign a week prior. Even though 4K comes with a permanent retainer I still can’t justify spending over $ 700 at this place because I like them so much. I still gave them five stars because if I had the extra cash to spend I would go to them instead of my dentist.

This guy is great. He did a great job on my daughter’s teeth. We could not be happier. He did such a great job on her teeth, my wife talked me into fixing my own teeth. Chris was very professional and helpful. He knew exactly what needed to be done and gave me my options. The first option, which was the best one, was to extract a tooth to make room for my other teeth. I was not exactly happy about that choice given my job responsibilities. He worked with me and after 3 months helped me come to my own conclusion. He has the best equipment and the staff are really nice.

Two in braces! Dr. Maulik and his entire staff could not be nicer! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Have never seen 20 for 20 positive reviews. But it is true. Three straight-​teethed children later we couldnt be happier with our choice our Dr. Maulik and company. More importantly Dr. Maulik and his staff are wonderful people who care about their customers and their community. Many stars and thank yous!!!

Dr. Maulik and his team are fantastic!!! My family has been coming to this office for many years. Back when Dr. Dempsey was the dentist in this office but we keep coming back!
3 of my 6 kids have gotten braces and orthodontia done with this office and his team is quick, extremely efficient and as painless as possible. They also have tons of payment options/​plans which makes having to get braces not as heavy on your checkbook as other things.
I’ve got 2 more kids that will be visiting Dr. Maulik as well!

Dr. Maulik and his entire staff are the best! They are all very professional, helpful and friendly. I would recommend them highly to anyone, young or old.

My young daughter had a «braces emergency» that could not wait, and our regular orthodontist was at a conference. My husband called Dr. Maulik, was able to go in just before they closed on Saturday, and they fixed the problem for free! Serious gratitude!

We love Dr Maulick and this staff. He is currently working on my 2^nd son’s braces. My first son now has perfect teeth and bite. Initially I interviewed a couple of other orthodontics and then decided on Dr. M. I liked the idea that we would be seeing the same techs each time and him personally. His office staff is very professional. Irene worked with us to make the payment plan work with our family. Dr. M explained what his plan is for each child. He is methodical and patient. His calm and pleasant manner really makes the experience 1-​A. He even lets me be a Black Hawk parent and watch when we go in. I highly recommend his practice to anyone looking for high quality customer care.

Prior to deciding to have my braces done with Dr. Maulik I interviewed several other Orthodontists. I was very thorough in my questions and about the procedure that would be necessary to have the results I was hoping for. Dr. Maulik was the only Orthodontist that was able to give me a clear plan and had the experience and confidence that I was looking for. His office is wonderful. Polite and professional staff and always timely. I am happy to drive out of my way to go see Dr. Maulik. He is worth it. Don’t go anywhere else. You won’t be disappointed.

After my 8-​year old daughter’s regular dentist recommended an orthodontist, I searched around and chose Dr. Maulik after reading all the wonderful reviews here. I was not disappointed. Dr. Maulik is friendly and warm, and we even found out he shares the same ethnicity as my daughter — an added plus! Dr. Maulik checked my daughter’s teeth and thoroughly explained the problem. He fitted her with an expander and tongue crib, which she’s been wearing for about a year. Every time we go for an appointment, we never wait longer than 10 minutes. The rooms are comfortable and open, and Dr. Maulik always greets us with a smile. He is very quick in his assessment and we are out of there in a flash. I’ve seen the excellent progress in my daughter’s teeth and facial structure, and am so happy we chose Dr. Maulik!

At 46 yrs old, I found out that I had to have braces! Shocked was an understatement. Understandably nervous, I went in for my consultation and as soon as I walked in, I felt at ease. The entire staff is very friendly and the office is calm, warm and welcoming. Dr. Maulik was very thorough in his assessment of my teeth and explained why it was necessary for me to have braces. He is very knowledgable and it was apparent that he enjoys what he does and his ultimate goal is for the patient to be happy. Although I have dental insurance, it doesn’t cover orthodontia. Irene worked with me to set up a reasonable payment plan and that relieved a lot of stress. I’ve gone in for a few visits and everyone has been accommodating and helpful. My braces still annoy me, but as long as Dr. Maulik and his staff are around, my fears and concerns are diminished and I’m one happy patient!

You would be hard pressed to find an orthodontic team better than Dr. Maulik and his staff. Every one of them is friendly, professional, and completely focused on their patients. Getting braces is normally an emotionally and physically uncomfortable phase for kids, but we avoided all of that by choosing Dr. Maulik. He puts my son at ease and patiently answers any questions I have about his orthodontic treatment. Also, Alisa is always so sweet to my kids and incredible about working around my ridiculous schedule. This team is deserving of far more than 5 stars!

Dr. Maulik and his staff were amazing! My treatment took a little over a year and I am extremely pleased with the results. Before choosing an orthodontist, I shopped around a lot and Dr. Maulik was honestly the only one I felt on the same page and comfortable with. A couple of other orthos really wanted me to do Invisalign while Dr. Maulik told me that I could do that but I may be better off getting actual braces to get the most out of my teeth. Him and his staff are all so knowledgable and accommodating. I had clear braces on top so there were quite a few times where I would eat something and stain my bands or pop out a wire. They had no problem getting me in on short notice to fix those problems. Dr. Maulik and his staff were always open for any questions and they were straight forward and detailed from day one. Basically I never left the office confused about anything. I have also seen him and his staff work with kids and they are great and extremely gentle with them! He is also very careful and detail oriented in his work, I never once felt rushed throughout my treatment. The people at this office really care about you and your teeth! I definitely recommend Dr. Maulik, he is absolutely the best!

Such an amazing orthodontist.
We were referred to him by our regular and great dentist Dr. Avo Fronjian as my daughter had an extra permanent tooth.
Both of them worked together to find the best solution for her.
Dr Maulik is very kind and gentle with the children. He explains very well what he is doing. The whole staff is very friendly. He answers email on Christmas holiday when the office is closed, and even opens the office on closed day to adjust pocking wires! He is simply the best.

Dr. Maulik and his staff are very professional and friendly. They made the orthodontic experience a very positive one. Dr. Maulik was thorough, patient, and explained his procedures very clearly. The staff was very helpful and accessible.

Dr. Maulik and the entire staff are top notch for customer service and straightening teeth! I had consultations with three orthodontists in San Diego and immediately felt welcome in their office. Dr. Maulik gave me various options and worked with me on pricing and payments. I choose Invisalign and my teeth look amazing, every check up he made sure they were progressing and ordered additional trays until we were both happy. He is a great listener and explains things in simple terms, which made me very comfortable.
They treat all ages and the staff is very patient with little ones.
I highly recommend visiting their office for a consultation if you’re in the market for orthodontics at any age.

I am so happy with my smile, that my orthodontist perfected. The office is really friendly & took good care of me. It took less then a year & well worth it. Afforable, professional office with great staff.
Plus later on down the line, I lost my retainer. He warns you not to bring it out when you eat & stay away from the napkin… I left it. Called to see if they might have saved it. She did! But I lag on getting there and someone else mistakes it as trash & they lost it AGAIN! So I call Dr. Maulik & he gets me one made for me the next day. Talk about service!!! They are not cheap, I don’t recommend it!
No question who to go to… thank you Dr. Maulik! =)))

First off, I am a picky person and visited several Orthodontic offices before I made the big decision. Dr. Maulik’s was the last place that I visited and I was going back and forth between invisalign with my dentist and clear braces with Dr. Maulik. I ultimately went with this office as I wanted the best results possible and was told braces would be the better of the two. I also went with this office because the location and parking are very convenient.
Being a working adult, I was a little skeptical at first since the majority of clients seem to be children and the initial consultation was a bit rushed. And when I formally started the process the assistants never introduced themselves (which would have put me more at ease) and I had to ask them their names before they started working on me. However, everyone from the front staff, back assistants, and Dr. are all friendly and personable.
The entire process was much smoother than I ever expected braces to be. And I was worried I would have trouble keeping them clean but I never had a problem. My experience with Dr. Maulik and his team has been pleasant. My teeth look awesome and I am happy with my decision to come here as it was completely worth it.
