Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses custom-fitted, removable plastic trays to straighten teeth discreetly. This treatment is ideal for adults and teens seeking a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces. At Rhoads Orthodontics, we utilize 3D imaging to create precise aligners that gradually shift teeth into optimal alignment. Patients appreciate the flexibility to eat and clean their teeth without restrictions, combined with the comfort of smooth, wire-free design.
Self-Ligating Metal Braces
Our self-ligating metal braces use advanced Rhodium brackets and archwires to correct complex dental issues efficiently. Unlike traditional braces, these systems eliminate the need for elastic ties, reducing friction and discomfort. Patients benefit from fewer adjustment appointments, shorter treatment times, and a sleeker, more aesthetic appearance due to the silver-matte finish that blends naturally with teeth.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces offer a discreet solution for patients seeking aesthetic orthodontic treatment. The tooth-colored brackets and wires blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them ideal for teens and adults. While slightly more fragile than metal braces, they provide comparable effectiveness for moderate alignment issues and are paired with self-ligating technology for enhanced comfort and efficiency.
Laser Gum Contouring
Laser gum contouring addresses gummy smiles by precisely reshaping excess gum tissue. This minimally invasive procedure uses advanced soft-tissue lasers to expose more of the tooth's surface, creating a balanced, symmetrical smile. Patients experience minimal discomfort, no needles, and rapid healing, making it an ideal complement to orthodontic treatment for optimal aesthetic results.
Orthodontics for All Ages
We provide age-specific orthodontic care tailored to children, teens, and adults. Early intervention for children focuses on jaw development and space management, while teen treatments prioritize aesthetics and lifestyle. Adult patients receive solutions that address unique challenges like previous dental work. Our phased approach ensures optimal timing and outcomes for every stage of life.

Do you treat children with orthodontic issues?
Yes, we provide early intervention for children aged 7+ and offer Phase 1 treatments to address jaw development and create space for permanent teeth.
What payment options are available?
We offer flexible financing plans, insurance coordination, and family discounts to make orthodontic care accessible and budget-friendly for Cranberry Township families.
Can I play sports with braces?
Yes, but we recommend wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard to protect your teeth and orthodontic appliances during contact sports activities.

Self-ligating braces require adjustments every 8-10 weeks, while traditional braces typically need monthly visits, reducing chair time and office visits.
