Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group

Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group is a prominent orthodontic practice serving the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metropolitan area. Established as a leading provider of orthodontic services, the group emphasizes personalized, high-quality care for both children and adults. The practice is built on a foundation of direct, doctor-led patient care. While the name "Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group" might suggest a large, corporate structure, it is specifically highlighted on their website that the practice is a close-knit team primarily led by two orthodontists, Dr. George Deme and Dr. Ashley Arnao. Dr. Richard Gobbie, a co-founder, recently retired, with Dr. Arnao assuming full partnership. This hands-on approach ensures that every patient receives direct attention and treatment from one, or sometimes both, of the experienced orthodontists, fostering a strong doctor-patient relationship. Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group offers a comprehensive suite of orthodontic treatments designed to address various dental alignment issues. Their services include traditional braces, which have advanced significantly in comfort and aesthetics, and Invisalign® clear aligners, a popular choice for both teens and adults seeking a less noticeable orthodontic solution. They also provide early treatment for children and teens to minimize the need for more extensive treatment later, and address specific issues like different types of bites and the use of various orthodontic appliances. The practice's commitment extends to addressing complex cases, with their expertise potentially allowing for non-surgical solutions even in situations where surgery might typically be recommended by other practitioners. Patient comfort and convenience are central to their philosophy. The group operates multiple convenient office locations across the greater Pittsburgh area, including Moon Township, Mt. Lebanon, Pleasant Hills, Scottdale, and Shadyside. This widespread presence aims to make quality orthodontic care accessible to a broad community. They offer complimentary initial consultations, allowing prospective patients to discuss their needs, evaluate treatment options, and understand costs and payment plans, including acceptance of various insurance providers and flexible payment arrangements. The mission of Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group revolves around creating beautiful, healthy smiles while ensuring a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for every patient. They believe that orthodontic treatment should not only be effective but also comfortable and tailored to individual needs, with a strong emphasis on building lasting relationships with their patients, treating them like family. The positive testimonials from patients frequently highlight the friendly staff, the doctors' clear explanations, and their ability to make patients, especially children, feel at ease throughout the treatment process.
