When you’re considering orthodontic care, you want more than straight teeth—you want a practice that offers expertise, compassion, and dependable results. At Bridge City Braces, we believe that what makes a great orthodontic practice is a combination of people, technology, trust, and service. If you’re looking for an orthodontist in Pittsburgh, PA, here’s a look at what distinguishes us and what you can expect when you trust your smile to our team.
Our Team & Expertise
What truly sets Bridge City Braces apart is our people. Our doctors aren’t just orthodontists—they’re specialists with deep training and care. For example:
- Dr. Joffre Martin, originally from Michigan, earned his Certificate in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics plus an MBA, which helps him lead both clinically and in practice management.
- Dr. Nicole Cornish, a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, brings extensive experience in orthodontics to the Bridge City Braces team.
Beyond credentials, our staff—assistants, coordinators, hygienists—share a family‑first philosophy. Every person on our team is committed to making patients feel welcomed, calm, and confident, whether they’re coming in for braces, Invisalign, or a child’s first dental exam.
What Makes Us Different: Technology & Experience
At Bridge City Braces, we combine modern technology with personalized care:
- We use digital 3D scanning instead of messy impressions, enabling more accurate treatment planning and a preview of how your smile can improve.
- We offer both metal braces and clear ceramic braces, as well as Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, for people of all ages and treatment needs.
Our practice is set up for convenience: flexible scheduling, multiple locations (McCandless and Cranberry Township), and staff who guide you clearly through each step—from the first consult to retainer care.
Focus on Patient Comfort & Communication
Orthodontics isn’t just about mechanical adjustments—it’s about the patient experience. At Bridge City Braces, we believe it’s essential to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and part of the process.
- We explain treatment options, timelines, and costs in a clear, straightforward way. No surprises.
- We take time to address anxieties—especially in younger patients—and ensure that every visit is as pain‑free and stress‑free as possible.
- We follow up regularly, monitor progress carefully, and make adjustments to keep treatment on course.
Patients often tell us the small things matter: how staff greet you, how clean and calm the office feels, how questions are answered. These are things we prioritize day in and day out.
