Dr. Lucas McGuire is the owner of McGuire Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics. His impeccable orthodontic skills and sparkling personality will no doubt leave his patients feeling like they are truly part of the family. He is a native of Ebensburg, PA and attended Gannon University in Erie, PA.

He completed his Master of Science in Dentistry degree and certification as an orthodontic specialist at Case Western Reserve University. His time spent at CWRU not only allowed him to become an expert on facial growth and orthodontics, but also encouraged him to open his mind and think critically. This stimulated Dr. Lucass desire to never stop learning and enhance his expertise on how orthodontics relates to breathing, sleeping and the importance of the airway. He has spent countless hours on continuing education and is an expert on techniques that enhance the airway and establish proper breathing. He shared this information with local and national dentists and has lectured to several different groups on airway focused orthodontics. Additionally, he is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, Ohio Dental Association, the American Dental Association and is qualified by the National Board of Orthodontics.
Dr. Lucass wife, Dr. Kristina, is also a dentist specializing in craniofacial pain and sleep at The TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Cleveland. They have two beautiful kids, Kaia and Leonidas, who are currently under active treatment to ensure proper facial growth and enhance the quality of their sleep. Feel free to ask about their progress! Both doctors love showing off their kids!

I took my daughter to McGuire Ortho. She was scared of the experience, but the fantastic staff and Dr Lucas made it very pleasant. He seemed to have an intuitive understanding of her bone structure Ana the potential issues that could arise as she gets older. I'll be taking my sand worm of a son there when he gets a little older.

When Dr. Arnstine owned this practice it was great and he did a great service. 5 stars for Dr. Arnstine. When Dr. McGuire took his practice away from him, customer service plummeted! Dr. McGuire did not finish the work Dr. Arnstine started and I was left with back molars that don't connect for chewing. Occlusions on both sides. I had to take time off from work to attend an appointment, only to arrive and be told I had no appointment. The front desk receptionist actually LIED and said she never scheduled the appointment! Unbelievable. My dentist was appalled with the way Dr. McGuire left my teeth. 0 stars for Dr. McGuire.

McGuire Orthodontics goes above and beyond when it comes to patient care and customer service. I recently underwent the invisalign treatment and WOW was I blown away by the results. Always friendly, accommodating, and professional each time I come in for an appointment! Highly recommend. Thanks guys! :)

UPDATE: I returned to the office and met with a different orthodontist who explained the nuances of different treatment options. From my cursory understanding: the 'new style' of permanent retainers I originally received from A&M is not designed to last as long as the 'old style' permanent retainers that I received as a teen, though the new version is healthier for the underlying bone and muscle structures. So, if you underwent orthodontic work as a teen or an older child of yours, you may be expecting the same style (and longevity) as I was. In the end, after understanding the available treatments and pros/cons, I opted for a removable retainer instead of the attached bar. I feel this team cares about patient satisfaction and this orthodontist took the time to explain all options so that I could make an informed decision. With this, I would highly recommend them. ------------ PREVIOUS REVIEW: The office staff is super friendly. However, their prices are a bit higher than other area orthodontists for the service I had done. I decided to go with Arnstine & McGuire because of the reviews, but if I need additional work, I will go elsewhere. FYI - I had braces years ago, in another state (nearly 20 years ago) and just recently my permanent retainer (the bar glued to the back of my teeth) popped off. I came to A&M have it replaced, only to have 1 of the 5 contacts pop off just 18 months later. I came back to them and they charged me full price. I was extremely disappointed that they would charge me $155 for this service of reattaching one contact point. And for reference, when I called other area orthodontists prior to my first visit, the quotes ranged from $90-120. They seemed worth it, though, based on reputation.

Dr. McGuire and his whole staff are great. I walked into Arnstine & McGuire nervous and anxious as I'd never had any ortho work done before and was not sure what to expect. Everyone at the office quickly put me at ease with their friendliness, efficiency, and positively. When I met with Dr. McGuire, I was impressed by his upbeat personality, talents, and knowledge of everything ortho. As a newbie, I also appreciated the modern, high-tech machines/computers Dr. McGuire used to explain and show images of my ortho options. I left the office with a great Invisilign treatment/plan that works for my busy schedule and can't wait to see the results in the coming months!

We had the initial consultation, with Dr. McGuire, for my teenager's fairly complicated case. After taking photos, we went to a small conference room to review the findings. Dr. McGuire showed us our son's teeth images in detail via a projector - so much more efficient than other practices & easier to understand & discuss! Dr. McGuire is personable, thorough & clearly gets along well with kids. He was so much more thorough in explaining the various options & pros & cons. He gave us plenty of time to ask questions & provided us a detailed cost estimate. The office was super clean & welcoming and you can tell they embrace new technology and techniques. This was such a better experience all around compared to the other two orthodontists that we have worked with. Looking forward to working with Dr. Maguire. I would highly recommend without hesitation!

There is so much to say! I have been going to this orthodontist for over two years. I have NEVER had a bad experience. Every single staff member is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. They always are able to get you in if anything happens. They always take care of your teeth and help to explain everything that is being done in your mouth. The prices are super reasonable and they are very diligent with your care. Shannon is the orthodontic assistant that I usually see and it is always a pleasure and enjoyable time instead of a nervous and horrible experience. And when you talk to Dawn or anyone else at the front desk, they will always work with you to help with whatever it is that you need. Go here if you need ANY orthodontic work for anyone in your family.

I am a young adult that had moved back from out of state to continue orthodontic treatment to prepare for a major jaw surgery. I first went to the orthodontist that was nearest to where I live and was severely disappointed. Thankfully, Dr. Arnstine came highly recommended by a few close friends that knew about my future surgical needs. I met with him and a few of his staff and I am so glad I did. From start to finish both he and his staff were professional and made me feel like family. He worked very closely with my oral surgeon which made me feel even more comfortable as the success of surgery would depend heavily on the orthodontic aspect of my teeth. Dr. Arnstine is very intelligent, personable, and caring. The office staff and assistants could not have made me feel more welcome and important every time I was in the office- I always felt like family. Needless to say my orthodontic treatment and surgery were a success! I am so happy and relieved that I chose to work with Dr. Arnstine and his amazing staff. I would recommend this office to any adult with complex orthodontic needs or a child that just needs a little straightening out!

This orthodontist office is incredible. I am convinced that they only take staff members that are phenomenal with kids (and parents). Dr. Arnstine is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. As well, the appointments move quickly and you are never waiting long to be seen. All staff members are friendly, efficient, organized, and a pleasure to work with. We are thrilled to have been recommended to come here - and we highly recommend this practice too!
