Staying connected with Rey Orthodontics

If you've spent one minute at our convenient Washington, D.C. office, you probably know that Dr. Maria Rey and our staff embrace all forms of new technology, whether it’s through the innovative orthodontic treatments we offer, our high-tech and convenient website or our Facebook page. For social media to work, our staff at Rey Orthodontics understand that conversation is vital, and that’s why we invite you to join in and tell us what’s on your mind. Although social networks are hugely popular these days, we know they’re unpredictable and ever-changing.

While Dr. Rey and our staff take a little time to research how to best use social media, we thought we’d ask you: How would you like us to use our social networks? What would you like us to share on our blog in the coming weeks and months? Please post your thoughts on Facebook or give us a call at 202-350-9768!

Who's benefiting from braces?

Dr. Maria Rey will tell you braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem earlier rather than later.

To ensure the best overall treatment, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists recommend that kids receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and our staff at Rey Orthodontics know that adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. In fact, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21.If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, we don’t want you to worry! At Rey Orthodontics, you’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment for a consultation by calling us at 202-436-5432, and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!

We hope you're having an outstanding weekend!

Ask Dr. Rey: Is Invisalign® right for me?

If you've ever wondered how Invisalign's clear aligners can move your teeth in the same fashion as traditional braces, keep reading.

Part of what makes Invisalign really "work," is that the treatment is customized for each patient. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment at Rey Orthodontics, the first thing we do is to take an impression of your teeth and digitize it. Using special software, Dr. Maria Rey looks at the current positioning of your teeth, and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Next, we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position! The best thing about Invisalign? Nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Serving Washington D.C., Bethesda, Silver Spring (MD) and Arlington (VA), Dr. Rey is a Certified Invisalign® Provider in Washington, DC. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Rey can determine if Invisalign is right for you. We encourage you to give us a call at 202-436-5432.

Have a GREAT rest of the week everyone!
