When it comes to creating a healthier, straighter smile, two popular options lead the way: traditional braces and Invisalign® clear aligners. But if you live in the North Hills, South Hills, or even Central Pittsburgh neighborhoods like Squirrel Hill and Shadyside, your choice of treatment — and where to get it — is easier than you think.
At Cyterski Orthodontics, we proudly serve the greater Pittsburgh area from two convenient locations in Allison Park (North Hills) and Pleasant Hills (South Hills), making expert orthodontic care accessible — no matter where you call home.
🦷 Braces vs. Invisalign: What’s the Difference?
Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires to gently guide your teeth into alignment. Braces are reliable, time-tested, and remain in place — which many patients appreciate for their consistency! They’re also often the best option for more complex orthodontic needs or bite corrections.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible. It’s a great choice for teens and adults looking for a discreet, flexible treatment option. Invisalign is typically best for mild to moderate alignment concerns and offers added comfort and convenience with daily care.
