Alpine & Rafetto Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic with offices in the Pike Creek and Fairfax areas of Wilmington, as well as in Dover, Delaware. The practice is led by Drs. Mark Fiss and Melissa Morawski, who are described as leaders in the orthodontic community. Their primary goal is to deliver high-quality orthodontic care in a friendly and comfortable environment, prioritizing patient comfort and satisfaction. The clinic caters to patients of all ages, offering a wide array of orthodontic solutions for children, adolescents, and adults. These include traditional metal braces, self-ligating braces, clear (ceramic) braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners. They emphasize a personalized approach to treatment, understanding that each patient has unique needs and expectations. Alpine & Rafetto Orthodontics leverages state-of-the-art technology to enhance treatment efficiency and patient comfort. This includes advanced digital imaging tools such as iTero® digital scanners and Carestream 3D Cone Beam scanners, which allow for precise treatment planning and potentially shorter treatment times and fewer office visits. They also offer accelerated orthodontics. Beyond just straightening teeth, the practice focuses on the overall health and self-esteem benefits of a beautiful smile. They address various orthodontic issues like crowded teeth, gaps, malocclusions (bad bites), and jaw inconsistencies. The clinic also stresses the importance of continued dental hygiene and regular dental check-ups even during orthodontic treatment. Patient testimonials highlight the clinic's patient-centered approach, the effectiveness of their treatments, and the comfortable experience provided by their team. While most reviews are positive, some express concerns regarding communication and record transfer, indicating areas for potential improvement. The practice offers complimentary initial consultations, allowing prospective patients to discuss their needs, receive an examination, and understand their treatment options and financial information. They also provide bilingual services for convenience.
