Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group

Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group is a leading orthodontic practice serving the greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. The group was co-founded by Dr. George Deme and the recently retired Dr. Richard Gobbie, and now operates with Dr. Deme and Dr. Ashley Arnao at its helm, with Dr. Arnao having recently assumed full partnership. Their mission is to provide comprehensive, high-quality orthodontic care for patients of all ages in a warm, welcoming, and patient-friendly environment. The practice offers a wide array of orthodontic treatments to address various dental needs and preferences. These include traditional metal braces, which have become more comfortable and efficient over the years, and ceramic (clear) braces, favored by older teenagers and adults for their less visible appearance. A significant offering is Invisalign®, a system of clear, removable aligners that provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group is adept at utilizing Invisalign for both teens and adults, making it a popular choice for those seeking a less noticeable treatment option. Additionally, they employ advanced techniques such as Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) for complex tooth movements that might otherwise require surgery. Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group emphasizes a hands-on, doctor-led approach, ensuring that every patient receives direct care and attention from one or both experienced orthodontists throughout their treatment journey. They provide specialized treatments for children, following the American Association of Orthodontists' recommendation for a child's first orthodontic visit by age seven, focusing on early intervention to minimize future treatment needs. They also cater to adults, recognizing the importance of orthodontic treatment at any age for oral health and confidence. With multiple convenient locations across the Pittsburgh area, including Shadyside, Moon Township, Mt. Lebanon, Pleasant Hills, and Scottdale, Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group strives to make orthodontic care accessible to the community. The Shadyside office, specifically, is located at 5750 Centre Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206. Patients consistently praise the practice for its friendly and professional staff, personalized care, and the excellent results achieved by the orthodontists, who are often commended for their kindness, patience, and clear explanations of treatment plans. They accept various insurance plans and offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable for their patients.
