Smiles are a big deal in Saratoga Springs. They show up in school pictures, graduation caps, and even across finish lines at the Head of the Fish Regatta. Byrne Orthodontics has been behind many of those smiles, thanks to the expert care of Dr. Byrne and Dr. Pinckney. With deep roots in the Capital Region and a commitment to modern, personalized care, this duo brings experience and warmth to every appointment. Let’s meet the doctors who help make this community feel like home, one patient at a time.
Dr. Brian Byrne: Local Legacy with Modern Care
Dr. Byrne continues building on a decades-long legacy (via his father) with his own modern approach, all while staying rooted in the Saratoga Springs community he’s always called home.
After earning his undergraduate degree from Cornell and his dental degree from Temple University, he returned to New York to complete his orthodontic specialty training and Master of Science at the University at Buffalo. He stays current through continuing education, including the Aligner Intensive Fellowship and yearly AAO and NESO meetings, and he’s an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Association of Orthodontists and the Spear Study Club.
Patients appreciate Dr. Byrne’s attention to detail, calm demeanor, and ability to make complex treatment feel approachable. He brings a thoughtful energy to each visit, equal parts focused and friendly.
Outside the office, Dr. Byrne enjoys spending time with his family and staying connected to the Saratoga Springs community he’s proud to serve. Now, let’s meet the other half of this powerhouse team.
Dr. Natalie Pinckney: Precision Meets Personal Connection
Dr. Pinckney brings a calm, thoughtful presence to every corner of Byrne Orthodontics. After earning her undergraduate degree from Cornell, she went on to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where she completed both her DMD and her orthodontic specialty training in dentofacial orthopedics. Her passion for education didn’t stop there; she’s now a guest lecturer at Tufts, sharing her knowledge with the next generation of orthodontic residents.
She’s board-certified, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, and an active member of professional organizations like the AAO, ADA, NESO, and the Fourth District Dental Society. Dr. Pinckney continues her education through annual AAO and NESO meetings and the Aligner Intensive Fellowship to stay current on techniques that improve comfort, efficiency, and results.
Patients know her for being clear, approachable, and meticulous. She’s great with nervous kids and busy parents alike, helping families across the Capital Region and Southern Adirondacks feel confident in their care.
Together with Dr. Byrne, she makes orthodontic care feel less clinical and more collaborative. Let’s take a closer look at how this team works in sync to make that happen.
