SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT 30 Years of Orthodontic Experience Comes to Sewickley F For 30 years, Dr. Richard Gobbie has been making patients smile, and with the recent addition of Dr. George Deme, they have become one of the region’s most experienced and talented orthodontic practitioners. Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group is the place to go for skilled and compassionate care. With the opening of a new Sewickley office, patients of the Quaker Valley can now benefit from the talent and skill associated with the Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group name. “There are a lot of areas where we excel,” Dr. Deme said. “We are Preferred Invisalign Providers, a distinction that Invisalign bestows only upon practices that show mastery of the Invisalign system. We also are very experienced in childhood orthodontics, which allows us to simplify orthodontic care by treating children aged 8 to 10, rather than addressing more complicated problems when they’re in their teenage years. Treating early allows for a less aggressive approach later. We hope to benefit everyone in the Quaker Valley who needs our services.” Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group also excels in conventional and surgical orthodontics. Essentially, if there’s something wrong with your smile, Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group can fix it. What’s more, it can be done affordably. “We are sensitive to parents who say they cannot afford to correct their child’s smile at a time when that child is in a challenging phase in their physical development,” Dr. Gobbie said. “We are aware that orthodontic care can be expensive and will work with patients to make payment arrangements. We accept most insurances. A healthy smile can work miracles for a child’s self- esteem. We want to give everybody the opportunity to receive the care that they need to achieve that smile.” At this time of year parents may not be thinking of orthodontic work, but according to Dr. Gobbie summer is the perfect time to be proactive. “Summer is a phenomenal time to begin the process of placing braces because the first few appointments are so time intensive,” said Dr. Deme. “Kids won’t have to miss school for this and the bulk of these appointments can be completed in June, July and August. By the time school rolls around, you’re looking at shorter maintenance appointments and a schedule that’s not as disruptive.” In addition to saving valuable time, the summer months allow your child to adapt to the new braces. They will have the time needed to acclimate to the look, the feel, and the overall experience of new braces. Don’t wait until August - schedule now for the summer, so that your child can go back to school with a confident smile in the fall. “We offer complimentary consultations because we’ve always wanted patients and parents to understand the approach we take,” Dr. Gobbie said. “We give a very personalized service. We spend time with each patient and communicate thoroughly with our parents and patients to give them an understanding of the treatment specific to their needs.” Pittsburgh Orthodontic Group’s new Sewickley location is at 409 Broad Street, 15143, which complements their Moon Location.
