Orthodontic Services Available to Jefferson Hills Patients
ABO Board-Certified orthodontists Dr. Doyle, Dr. Robert Good, and Dr. Ronald Good at Doyle Orthodontics treat straightforward alignment concerns as well as cases requiring coordination with oral surgeons and other specialists. Our doctors, including Dr. Cullen J. Doyle, customize each treatment plan based on thorough diagnostic findings.
- Traditional braces and self-ligating brackets
- Clear and ceramic braces for a less visible option
- Clear aligner therapy (SureSmile and Angel Aligners)
- Two-phase treatment for younger patients
- TMD/TMJ therapy and airway management
- Coordination with oral surgeons for orthognathic surgery cases
Traditional Braces and Self-Ligating Brackets
Self-ligating braces are bracket systems that use a built-in sliding mechanism instead of elastic ties, reducing friction during tooth movement. Metal braces remain one of the most reliable treatment options available. These self-ligating systems often allow for more comfortable adjustments and efficient progress. They work, and they work well.
Clear and Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend with your natural enamel while delivering the same precise control as traditional braces. For patients who prefer a less noticeable option, ceramic brackets offer that balance of aesthetics and clinical performance.
Clear Aligner Therapy
Clear aligners are removable, custom-fitted trays that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without brackets or wires. SureSmile Aligners and Angel Aligners offer a modern alternative for teens and adults seeking discreet treatment. Each case is evaluated individually to confirm that aligners can achieve the clinical outcomes you need. Not every patient is a candidate, and we’ll be straightforward about that from the start.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase orthodontic treatment splits care into an early intervention stage and a later corrective stage. Phase one focuses on guiding jaw development and creating space for permanent teeth in younger patients. Phase two refines alignment once the adult dentition has emerged. This approach can reduce the complexity of later treatment and, in some cases, eliminate the need for extractions.
TMD/TMJ Therapy and Airway Management
Temporomandibular joint disorders involve dysfunction of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often causing pain, clicking, or restricted movement. For patients experiencing these symptoms or breathing-related concerns, our team provides thorough evaluation and treatment planning that addresses underlying causes rather than symptoms alone. These cases require careful diagnosis, and that’s where advanced imaging makes a real difference.
Orthognathic Surgery Coordination
When jaw alignment cannot be fully corrected with orthodontics alone, we work closely with oral surgeons to manage these complex treatment plans from start to finish. Our doctors have decades of combined experience coordinating multidisciplinary care for surgical orthodontic cases.
Why Jefferson Hills Families Choose Doyle Orthodontics

Your care reflects current evidence-based protocols, and the practice draws on decades of combined clinical experience. Meet our doctors to learn more about their training and background.
Diagnostic Precision
Every patient receives CBCT imaging as part of their initial evaluation. This three-dimensional view of teeth, roots, and jaw structures allows our doctors to identify concerns that traditional X-rays might miss. Combined with 3D scanning and articulated models on a jaw-motion simulator, your treatment plan reflects a complete understanding of how your bite functions.
Same-Day Options That Don’t Cut Corners
Same-day consultations and the ability to begin treatment the same day mean fewer trips and less time away from work or school. We complete the full diagnostic workup before placing any appliances, so starting quickly never means skipping steps.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Care in Jefferson Hills
Do I need a referral to visit Doyle Orthodontics from Jefferson Hills?
No referral is necessary. You can schedule a consultation directly with our practice. Many families come to us based on recommendations from friends, neighbors, or their general dentist, but a formal referral is not required.
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, our doctors can assess jaw development and identify any concerns that might benefit from early intervention. Many children evaluated at 7 do not need immediate treatment, but early evaluation allows us to monitor growth and time treatment appropriately.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
Most orthodontic treatment plans take 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case. During your consultation, the team will provide a more specific estimate based on your individual needs.
Does Doyle Orthodontics offer clear aligners for adults?
Yes. We offer both SureSmile Aligners and Angel Aligners for adult patients seeking a discreet treatment option. Each case is evaluated to determine whether aligners can achieve the level of correction you need, so that convenience never comes at the expense of clinical outcomes.
Can I start treatment the same day as my consultation?
In many cases, yes. If you’re ready to begin and the diagnostic evaluation is complete, treatment can often start that same visit. That saves you an extra trip to the practice.
Does Doyle Orthodontics accept insurance?
The practice operates on a fee-for-service basis and is not in-network with insurance plans. Our team works with patients and their insurance companies to maximize out-of-network benefits. In-house interest-free payment options and CareCredit are also available for flexible financing.
How do I know if my child needs an orthodontist in Jefferson Hills, PA?
Common signs include crowding, spacing, an overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Mouth breathing and difficulty chewing can also indicate an orthodontic concern. If you notice any of these, scheduling a consultation is a good first step. Our doctors will let you know whether treatment is needed now or if monitoring makes more sense.
