Shadyside Orthodontics

Shadyside Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic practice located in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The brand is committed to providing comprehensive and personalized orthodontic care to patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. At the heart of Shadyside Orthodontics is Dr. Maria T. O'Reilly, a highly qualified and experienced orthodontist. Dr. O'Reilly is a board-certified orthodontist, having completed extensive education, including a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, Orthodontic Specialty Certificate, Master of Dental Science (MDS), and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University of Pittsburgh. Her commitment to the field is further highlighted by her past role as an associate professor in the Orthodontic Department at the University of Pittsburgh for over 20 years, as well as a visiting professor for Project Hope in Portugal. She is a recognized expert, lecturing nationally and internationally, and serves as a reviewer for professional publications. Shadyside Orthodontics offers a range of services designed to address various orthodontic needs. These include traditional braces, which are effective for a wide array of cases, and the increasingly popular Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign is a significant offering, providing a discreet and convenient alternative to metal braces, utilizing a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into alignment. A key distinguishing factor of Shadyside Orthodontics is its patient-centric approach. Unlike some practices that focus on high-volume patient turnover, Shadyside Orthodontics prides itself on providing individualized care. This means that each patient receives direct evaluation and attention from Dr. O'Reilly herself at every visit, rather than delegating tasks solely to assistants. This philosophy ensures that sufficient time is allocated for each procedure, progress evaluation, and addressing any patient or parent concerns, ultimately aiming to deliver the highest possible standard of orthodontic care. The practice emphasizes creating a comfortable and welcoming environment, and testimonials from satisfied patients often highlight Dr. O'Reilly's professionalism, kindness, and dedication to achieving beautiful and confident smiles.
