Your Smile. Our Priority.

Our experienced team of orthodontists, led by Dr. Matthew Walla and Dr. Shaheen Youssef, is dedicated to providing exceptional care to patients of all ages in Buffalo, New York, and surrounding areas.
Our Story
With a rich history dating back to 1955, our practice has been a trusted name in orthodontics in Western New York. Our team is committed to staying at the forefront of the latest technologies and techniques to ensure our patients receive the most effective and efficient care possible.
Our Services
At Owl Orthodontics, we offer a wide range of services to cater to the diverse needs of our patients. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult looking to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile, we have the expertise and treatment options to help you achieve your goals.
Treatment Options
We offer various treatment options to suit your unique needs and preferences. Our comprehensive range of treatments includes:
- Metal Braces: Made from high-quality, durable stainless steel, metal braces are the most common type of braces.
- Damon Braces: The Damon System features tie-less brackets that are gentle on teeth and tissues, and require fewer adjustments.
- Ceramic Braces: Ceramic brackets move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces but are less noticeable due to their clear appearance.
- Invisalign: For adults and teens who want a virtually invisible way to straighten their teeth, Invisalign is the answer. Clear aligners are free of wires, metal, and brackets, making them more comfortable and convenient.
What to Expect
At your first visit, you'll be introduced to one of our knowledgeable treatment coordinators, who will show you around the clinic and make you as comfortable as possible. Then, you'll meet with one of our orthodontists, who will review your dental records and perform an initial exam. We'll discuss treatment options, answer any questions you may have, and provide a clear understanding of your treatment plan.
Insurance and Payment Options
We participate with most major insurance companies and can help coordinate payments through your flexible spending account or file your claims once treatment begins. We accept cash, including money orders and personal checks, as well as credit cards such as VISA, MasterCard, and Discover. Financing options are also available.
