Your Trusted Orthodontist Near Harmony, RI
Harmony and Chepachet share a road. Both villages sit on Putnam Pike, U.S. Route 44, in the town of Glocester, and the drive between them is about three and a half miles, roughly 6 minutes heading west. For the thousand or so people who live in Harmony, that makes Romani Orthodontics about as close as a specialist can be without moving next door.
Our practice is led by Dr. Kirsten Romani, who has cared for patients in Chepachet for over two decades and holds board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Jessica Collins sees patients with her. Harmony families bring in young children for early checks, teens for braces, and adults who finally want to fix the smile they have been living with, and everyone starts with a free consultation.

Dr. Romani is a top 1% Invisalign® provider in the United States and has used the Invisalign system for more than 20 years. That experience matters for adults and teens who want clear aligners. Families with younger children can learn about two-phase treatment and when it helps.
Many Harmony patients reach us after their dentist mentions crowding, an overbite, or teeth that are not coming in where they should. That is the right time for a specialist’s opinion. Our job at the first visit is to tell you whether treatment is needed now, later, or not at all, and to explain the reasoning so the decision is yours.
Why Harmony Families Choose Romani Orthodontics
A short drive is a good start, but Harmony families also want to know the care itself is excellent.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Training that goes beyond the minimum. Dr. Romani sought voluntary board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Collins earned her dental degree at Boston University and finished her orthodontic residency at the University of Washington.
- Six minutes down Route 44. No highway, and adjustment visits usually take 20 to 40 minutes.
- 3D records at the first visit. Our i-CAT FLX® imaging shows teeth, roots, and jaw structure in detail, so plans are built on a complete picture.
- Familiar faces. Combined, our team has more than 140 years of experience.
- Clear costs. Most insurance plans are accepted, payment plans are available, and our Family Care Program is explained up front.
- Fast help. When a bracket pops loose, call us and we will schedule a repair.
Harmony grew up around an 1816 chapel and a toll gate on the old Glocester Turnpike. The road has changed, but it still connects the village to what it needs, including a full orthodontic practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Romani Orthodontics from Harmony, RI?
Our Chepachet office at 1109 Putnam Pike is about 3.4 miles west of Harmony on Route 44, roughly a 6 minute drive. Our East Providence office is about 27 minutes away if that location fits your commute better.
When should my child have a first orthodontic visit?
The American Association of Orthodontists advises a first check around age 7. Most children that age only need periodic monitoring, which is easy when the office is six minutes away.
Do you offer treatment for adults?
Yes. We treat patients from 7 to 77. Clear aligners and tooth-colored ceramic braces both work well for adults who want a less noticeable option.
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the case and the appliance. Dr. Romani reviews the cost with you at your free consultation, and we explain insurance help and payment plan options.
How long will treatment take?
Simple cases can finish in about a year, while more involved bites take longer. You will get a realistic estimate at your consultation, along with what affects the timeline.
What if something breaks between visits?
Call the office. Most minor issues can be handled with orthodontic wax at home until we see you, and urgent problems get a prompt appointment.
