Services
Braces
Traditional metal and ceramic braces correct dental alignment issues using brackets and wires. These time-tested solutions apply gentle pressure to shift teeth into optimal positions. Rea Orthodontics offers durable stainless steel and tooth-colored ceramic options for discreet treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Patients receive new aligners weekly to gradually guide teeth into correct positions. This option is ideal for teens and adults seeking less visible orthodontic treatment without dietary restrictions.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. These custom devices prevent shifting by stabilizing teeth in their new positions. Proper use ensures long-term results from braces or Invisalign treatment.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7+ monitors growth and addresses developing issues. Periodic evaluations determine optimal treatment timing. Phase I care prevents severe problems and simplifies future orthodontic work through interceptive techniques.
Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic solutions for adults include metal braces, ceramic brackets, and Invisalign. Treatment addresses alignment issues at any age, with options tailored to lifestyle needs. Approximately 25% of patients are adults seeking improved function and aesthetics.
