Berkshire Integrative Orthodontics

Berkshire Integrative orthodontics is a dental clinic located in Pittsfield, MA, led by Dr. William C. O'Donnell. The practice is founded on a philosophy of "integrative orthodontics," which extends beyond traditional teeth straightening to consider a patient's overall health. Dr. O'Donnell and his team use a multidisciplinary approach, focusing on the connection between a healthy mouth, jaw, and airway to an individual's total well-being. Dr. O'Donnell has been providing orthodontic treatment in Berkshire County since 1985. His expertise is specifically limited to the specialty of orthodontics, dentofacial orthopedics, and airway/myofunctional orthodontics for children, adolescents, and teenagers. He is a highly educated professional, having earned his undergraduate degree at Brown University and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at Boston University, where he also completed his advanced degree in orthodontics and served as a former faculty member. The clinic utilizes a range of advanced technologies to provide comprehensive care, including cone beam CT scanners for 3D imaging, digital impressions, digital x-rays, and dental lasers. Their services include conventional orthodontics, airway orthodontics, early orthodontics, and clear aligner treatments. A key offering is their "Berkshire Clear Align" system, which is presented as a more affordable and technologically advanced alternative to national clear aligner brands. Integrative orthodontics, as practiced at this clinic, looks to address the root causes of issues like crooked teeth and misaligned jaws by evaluating factors such as tongue position, swallowing habits, and breathing. The goal is not only to create a beautiful smile but also to improve breathing, posture, and neurological and muscle function for long-term health and wellness. Dr. O'Donnell is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Association of Orthodontics, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the American Academy of Physiological Medicine, reflecting his commitment to a comprehensive approach to oral health.
