Same-day consultations and same-day starts are available for families ready to begin care.
Our doctors provide treatment for everything from routine alignment to complex multidisciplinary cases, with same-day consultations and same-day starts available for families ready to begin care. Every treatment plan is built around your specific clinical needs and goals, never a standard template applied across the board.
From a child’s first orthodontic evaluation to adult care involving temporomandibular joint disorders or orthognathic surgery coordination, our team approaches each case with the diagnostic depth and surgical-level planning that families across Pittsburgh have come to expect. Built on decades of trusted orthodontic expertise, our practice welcomes patients from every neighborhood in the region.
Orthodontic Services in Greater Pittsburgh PA
Our doctors offer a full scope of orthodontic care, with treatment options selected based on your clinical needs rather than a fixed standard plan. Each plan begins with thorough diagnostic evaluation, including CBCT imaging and 3D scanning, before any recommendation is made.
Treatment options include:
- Metal braces. Time-tested fixed appliances appropriate for nearly every case complexity.
- Self-ligating brackets. A refined bracket system that can reduce friction and visit duration in select cases.
- Ceramic and clear braces. A discreet alternative for patients who prefer less visible hardware.
- Clear aligner therapy. SureSmile Aligners and Angel Aligners for cases where aligners can achieve the required correction.
- Two-phase treatment for children. Early intervention to guide jaw development, followed by a second phase to refine alignment once permanent teeth are in.
- TMD and TMJ therapy. Diagnostic evaluation and treatment planning for temporomandibular joint disorders, addressing the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms.
- Airway management. Evaluation of airway concerns as part of the broader orthodontic picture.
- Orthognathic surgery coordination. Sequenced planning for cases that require collaboration between the orthodontist and oral surgeon.
Diagnostic precision is supported by CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), which our doctors use routinely as part of patient workups, along with 3Shape 3D scanners and articulated models on a jaw-motion simulator. This level of clinical detail allows our doctors to plan treatment with confidence and accuracy, particularly for patients whose cases involve more than straightforward alignment.
Why Pittsburgh Patients Choose Doyle Orthodontics
Families across the region choose our practice for reasons that extend well beyond a single treatment option.
- Same-day consults and same-day starts. If you’re ready to start, we can often begin the same day. Many patients complete their evaluation and begin treatment on a single visit, saving a return trip.
- Transfer patient care. Relocating to the Pittsburgh area mid-treatment? Our doctors welcome transfer patients and will coordinate with your previous orthodontist to keep your care on track.
- Diagnostic precision. CBCT imaging, 3D scanning, and articulated models on a jaw-motion simulator give our doctors the clinical detail needed to plan treatment accurately, particularly in complex cases.
- Multidisciplinary expertise. Our doctors handle complex cases including temporomandibular joint disorders, orthognathic surgery, and coordinated care across specialties. They collaborate routinely with oral surgeons, restorative dentists, and periodontists for patients with more involved clinical needs.
- Specialty credentials. Dr. Cullen J. Doyle, D.M.D., M.S., Dr. Robert F. Good II, D.M.D., M.D.S., and Dr. Ronald S. Good, D.M.D., M.S. are all ABO-board-certified orthodontists and active members of the American Association of Orthodontists.
Where clinical excellence meets genuine care, our doctors bring the same diagnostic rigor to a teenager’s first set of braces that they bring to a multidisciplinary surgical case.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do braces cost in Pittsburgh?
Orthodontic treatment in the Pittsburgh area typically falls within a range that depends on case complexity, treatment length, and the appliance system selected. Doyle Orthodontics is a fee-for-service practice, meaning we are not in-network with any insurance, but our team works with your insurance carrier to maximize out-of-network benefits. We offer in-house, interest-free payment plans structured individually for each patient, along with CareCredit financing and flexible down payment arrangements. Your consultation will include a clear breakdown of fees specific to your treatment plan.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatment ranges from 12 to 24 months, though some cases finish sooner and complex cases may take longer. Treatment time depends on the type of correction needed, the appliance used, and how consistently you follow your doctor’s instructions. At your initial visit, our doctors will provide a realistic timeline based on your specific clinical needs.
Can I transfer my orthodontic care to Doyle?
Yes. Our doctors regularly accept transfer patients who are relocating to the Pittsburgh area or seeking a change in providers. We coordinate with your previous orthodontist to obtain records and continue your care without unnecessary disruption. Your initial visit will include a thorough review of your current treatment plan and any adjustments needed going forward.
Do you offer same-day starts?
Yes. Many patients are able to complete their consultation and begin treatment on the same visit. Same-day consults are also available for families who want to evaluate their options without scheduling a separate return trip. Availability varies by location and case type, so we recommend mentioning your interest when you call.
Which is better: clear aligners or braces?
Neither option is universally better. Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable approach that works well for many cases, while braces remain the most versatile system for complex corrections. Our doctors evaluate each case individually to recommend the option that will achieve the best clinical outcome, rather than defaulting to a preferred system.
| Treatment Option | Best For | Visibility | Removable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal braces | All case complexities | Visible | No |
| Ceramic/clear braces | Patients wanting discretion with fixed appliances | Less visible | No |
| Self-ligating brackets | Select cases benefiting from reduced friction | Visible | No |
| Clear aligners | Mild to moderate correction needs | Nearly invisible | Yes |
