Burns Orthodontics

Burns Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice serving the Southwestern Pennsylvania region, with convenient office locations in McMurray, Mt. Lebanon, and Waynesburg. The practice is led by Dr. Nikia Burns, a highly qualified and board-certified orthodontist. Dr. Burns is a native of Southwestern Pennsylvania and is passionate about helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles. The practice specializes in providing comprehensive orthodontic care for patients of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. They understand that each patient has unique needs and goals, and therefore, they emphasize creating customized treatment plans. Key services offered by Burns Orthodontics include: Traditional Metal Braces: These are the classic and often most affordable option, using a system of brackets and wires to gradually align teeth. Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces): For patients seeking a more discreet option, clear brackets and wires blend with natural tooth color. Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A popular removable alternative to braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth, offering flexibility and comfort. Functional Jaw Orthopedics: This involves correcting discrepancies and imbalances of the teeth and jaws, often using functional appliances in growing patients. This can improve bite, speech, and facial appearance. Surgical Orthodontics: For non-growing patients with significant jaw discrepancies, this involves a coordinated effort between the orthodontist and an oral surgeon to achieve optimal results. Adult Specialized Treatments: Recognizing that adults also seek orthodontic care for both cosmetic and health reasons, Burns Orthodontics offers tailored treatment plans for adult patients. Interceptive Treatment for Children: Early orthodontic evaluation around age seven is recommended to guide the growth of teeth and jaws and prevent more severe issues later. What sets Burns Orthodontics apart includes their commitment to continuous research and development in orthodontics, with Dr. Burns actively participating in continuing education and professional organizations. They strive to employ the latest technology for accurate diagnoses and comfortable, efficient treatment. The practice aims to provide a clean, friendly, and respectful environment, ensuring a positive patient experience from the initial complimentary consultation to the completion of treatment. They also offer flexible payment plans to make orthodontic care accessible.
