Allegheny Orthodontic Associates

Allegheny Orthodontic Associates is a well-established orthodontic practice that has served communities in Western Pennsylvania for decades. Founded in 1956 by Dr. Dalton Blough, the practice has a rich history and has been cared for by a succession of dedicated orthodontists, including Dr. Faber Little, Dr. Scott Little, and currently led by Dr. Matthew Radkowski, who joined in 2006 and assumed leadership in 2012. The practice operates out of three convenient locations: Johnstown, Altoona, and Somerset, Pennsylvania. They are committed to providing personalized patient care and have a long-standing tradition of emphasizing both the art and science of orthodontic treatment. Allegheny Orthodontic Associates offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children to adults. Their services include traditional braces, which are a cornerstone of their practice, and they are recognized as a leader in Invisalign treatment for teens and adults in the area, utilizing a fully digital office for this modern approach. They also offer early orthodontic screening and treatment (Phase I) for children with severe issues, aiming to optimize treatment timing and potentially reduce overall costs and treatment duration. For more complex cases where jaw position issues are severe, they collaborate with Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons to provide surgical orthodontics, focusing on improved chewing function and facial harmony. The clinic prides itself on its experienced and friendly team, which includes skilled clinical assistants, treatment coordinators, and administrative staff who are dedicated to making patients feel comfortable and informed throughout their orthodontic journey. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the welcoming atmosphere, the thorough explanations provided by staff, efficient scheduling, and the excellent results achieved. Allegheny Orthodontic Associates is also a member of the prestigious Schulman Group, a national orthodontic organization that fosters collaboration and idea-sharing among top practices.
