Angular2 md-select remove arrow after selecting option

I have a value selected from the md-select but the "arrow" from the md-select still shows after selection.

HTML

<div class="form-group spaces" style="width: 50%">
   <md-select placeholder="Claim Type"  name="selectedClaimType"   
       ngDefaultControl formControlName="selectedClaimType"  
       [(ngModel)]="selectedClaimType" [formControl]="claimType" >
          <md-option *ngFor="let c of ClaimTypes"                     
          [value]="c.ClaimTypeId">{{c.ClaimDescription}}</md-option>
   </md-select>

</div>

Tried amending the width through css in mat-select but to no avail.

Please see attached..any suggestions highly appreciated

As you can see in the rendered code, there's span that adds that dropdown arrow.

<span class="mat-select-arrow"></span>

So, my idea is to remove the class mat-select-arrow on selection or if selectedClaimType has a value on initialization.

I created a reference of md-select using @ViewChild and use it to remove the class.

Simplified example:

html:

<div class="form-group spaces" style="width: 50%">
   <md-select placeholder="Claim Type"  name="selectedClaimType"
              [(ngModel)]="selectedClaimType"
              #select (change)="removeArrow()">
          <md-option *ngFor="let c of ClaimTypes"                     
          [value]="c.ClaimTypeId">{{c.ClaimDescription}}</md-option>
   </md-select>
</div>

ts:

import {Component, ViewChild, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {MdSelect} from '@angular/material';

@Component({
  selector: 'select-overview-example',
  templateUrl: 'select-overview-example.html',
})
export class SelectOverviewExample implements OnInit{
  @ViewChild('select') select: MdSelect;

  ClaimTypes = [
    {ClaimTypeId: 'steak-0', ClaimDescription: 'Steak'},
    {ClaimTypeId: 'pizza-1', ClaimDescription: 'Pizza'},
    {ClaimTypeId: 'tacos-2', ClaimDescription: 'Tacos'}
  ];

  selectedClaimType;

  constructor(){
    this.selectedClaimType = this.ClaimTypes[0].ClaimTypeId;
  }

  ngOnInit(){
    if(this.selectedClaimType != undefined){
      this.select.trigger.nativeElement.children[1].classList = null;
    }
  }

  removeArrow(){
    if(this.select.trigger.nativeElement.children[2].className == 'mat-select-arrow'){
       this.select.trigger.nativeElement.children[2].classList = null;
    }
  }
}
