Dr. Stephen Labbe
"I genuinely appreciate the trust my patients and their families place in me for their or their children's orthodontic care. As a husband, father, and former orthodontic patient myself I understand the impact orthodontic treatment can have on the lives of our patients and their families. I appreciate the commitment necessary from the patients and parents in order to achieve the smile they deserve. I have wanted to be an Orthodontist since I was in 8th grade and I consider it a blessing that my profession has provided me the skill set necessary to transform the smiles of my patients and the opportunity to develop lasting relationships with their families."
Dr. Stephen Labbe graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and a minor in biochemistry. He then went on to receive a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Howard University and completed his General Practice Residency in West Haven, CT, while taking additional courses at Yale University. Dr. Labbe then completed his Masters Thesis in the Comparison of Bonding Materials.
By staying on top of the most recent technology and procedures, Dr. Labbe is able to give his patients the very best orthodontic treatment available. He continues to study the latest advances in Dentistry through membership in the following organizations:
-
Anne Arundel County Dental Society
-
Southern Maryland Dental Society
-
Bowie/Crofton Dental Study Club
-
Bi-County Dental Study Club
-
Annapolis Dental Study Club
Dr. Stephen Labbe is also a member of numerous Orthodontic organizations, including the American Association of Orthodontists as well as the prestigious Schulman Group, a national organization comprised of the top 125 Orthodontic practices in North America. He was on staff at Prince Georges Hospital and taught in the Dental Residency Program for 10 years. He is also recognized as an Elite Invisalign Provider placing Stewart and Labbe Orthodontics in the Top 1% of all Invisalign Providers.
Dr. Labbe lives in Annapolis with his wife and their 2 children. They love doing everything together except when he is cheering for the Dallas Cowboys, the Boston Redsox or the UCONN Huskies. If any of "his" team loose, he is apparently a little difficult to live with!

Claire Cullipher, Treatment Coordinator
My name is Claire! I found Stewart & Labbe Orthodontics re-entering the job market after having my “after 40 surprise baby”! I was so blown away with the practice and the staff that I decided to ditch 23+ years in printing and publishing to give it a whirl! I love meeting new people! This job gives me the opportunity to not only meet them, but to make them comfortable with the whole process of orthodontic treatment. When I am not at work, you can find me living in an old bay side cottage with my husband, our 2 sons and lovely daughter…and of course the dog, Skipper. |
