Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Peter Maro
“I love creating beautiful smiles through orthodontics. Every day, I get to change people’s lives in a positive way. It’s challenging, like a puzzle, to find the right treatment plan for each person’s needs, and I enjoy solving each puzzle with science and aesthetics in mind. It is fascinating and extremely rewarding to see the changes in people’s confidence as their smiles improve. Knowing that I’ve had a hand it, that is why I come to work every day.”
Dr. Meghan Graham
Hi, I’m Dr. Graham, and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the Darien community—not just as a mom, but now as your orthodontist too! Helping my patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles is what I love most about my job. There’s nothing better than seeing someone light up with confidence because of their new smile.
I get that orthodontic treatment can sometimes feel like a challenge, whether you’re a tween, teen, or adult. That’s why I focus on making every patient feel welcomed, understood, and supported every step of the way. When you come into the office, you’re not just another patient—you’re part of the team, and we’re in this together to reach your dream smile.
My Journey to Becoming an Orthodontist
My path to orthodontics started at Tufts University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development. From there, I headed to Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, where I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, graduating Summa Cum Laude. I was also honored to be elected to the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Honor Dental Society, for my academic achievements.
I stayed in Boston to complete my orthodontic residency at BU, earning a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Orthodontics and a Master of Science in Dentistry. That made me a double Terrier (go BU!) and gave me three extra years to cheer on my beloved Boston sports teams—the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins. (Yes, I know, championship parades were kind of a thing back then, but don’t hold that against me!)
Today, I’m proud to be board-certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
Outside the Office
When I’m not in the office, you’ll probably find me on the sidelines of one of my kids’ games! I love coaching my daughter’s softball and basketball teams and helping out with field hockey. I’m also often bundled up at the hockey rink cheering on my son at practice. My husband, our four kids, and I have loved calling Darien home since moving here a couple of years ago. We’ve had so much fun exploring the town and getting to know the wonderful people who make this community so special.
In those rare moments of free time, I enjoy working out, soaking up the sun at the beach, or running around town with our playful (and very energetic!) one-year-old golden retriever, Cora.

Your Questions, Answered
Q: What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics, also known as dentofacial orthopedics, is a specialized branch of dentistry that concentrates on identifying, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities.
Q: What Is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has received two to three years of additional training and experience. Dr. Peter Maro is able to straighten teeth, correct misaligned jaw structure, and improve the function of your smile.
Q: What’s the Best Age to Visit the Orthodontist?
If you want to improve the look and feel of your smile, then any age can be a great time to see the orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit an orthodontist around the age of seven; however, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens. About one in every five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. (Dr. Peter Maro has even improved the smiles of patients in their 80s!) Whether you’re considering treatment for yourself or for a child, any age is a good time to visit the orthodontist.
Q: What Are Some Possible Benefits of Orthodontics?
• A more attractive smile
• Better function of the teeth
• Possible increase in self-confidence
• Increased ability to clean the teeth
• Improved force distribution and wear patterns of the teeth
• Better long-term health of teeth and gums
• Permanent teeth guided into more favorable positions
• Reduced risk of injury to protruding front teeth
• Aid in optimizing other dental treatments
Q: How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?
Treatment times vary on a case-by-case basis, but the average time is 12-24 months. Actual treatment time can be affected by rate of growth and severity of the necessary correction. Treatment length is also dependent upon patient compliance. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping regular appointments are important in keeping treatment time on schedule.
