The mission of Alpine and Rafetto Orthodontics is to provide the SMILE that a patient wants and deserves while lifting their confidence and providing them the opportunity to reach their dreams while SMILING!  For half a century, Alpine and Rafetto Orthodontics has created for countless patients healthy bites and beautiful lasting smiles.  Dr. A. Dean Alpine began the practice in 1971 as Alpine Orthodontics.  In 1991, Dr. Ray S. Rafetto joined the practice and the name because Alpine and Rafetto Orthodontics.  Upon Dr. Alpine’s retirement in 2003, Dr. Mark R. Fiss joined the practice.  Over the years, the practice has become a leader in orthodontic care.  The staff has observed that, in New Castle County, just about everyone they meet says the same thing: “Alpine did my braces!”  The practice purchased an orthodontics office in Dover on Silver Lake in 2017.  With the beautiful location and the warm and friendly patients of Kent County, the practice hopes to build the same kind of reputation here where everyone knows their name.  
The expert team at Alpine and Rafetto Orthodontics offers complimentary exams, traditional braces and Invisalign for children and adults of all ages.  They are a Diamond Plus Invisalign provider - this places them in the top 1% of all providers nationwide.  They also provide clear/aesthetic brackets, 3-D digital software, and free home starter kits and retainers at the end of treatment. They promise a comprehensive fee with no hidden charges and interest-free financing to fit any budget, along with discounts and payment options.  They work diligently to listen to the patient’s thoughts and ideas regarding what would make their perfect smile.
