It is still a lived-in village, home to the North Smithfield Public Library and a short drive from our Chepachet office.

Many Slatersville patients first hear about orthodontics from their dentist, often when adult teeth are coming in crowded or a bite does not meet properly. A specialist visit tells you whether to act now or wait. We explain the reasoning behind every recommendation, including when the best advice is simply to monitor growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Romani Orthodontics from Slatersville, RI?
Our Chepachet office at 1109 Putnam Pike is about 9.2 miles from Slatersville, roughly 14 minutes by Route 102. Our East Providence office is about 26 minutes away by Route 146 and I-95.
When should a child first be evaluated?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by about age 7. Most children that age only need monitoring, and an early check helps us plan the right timing.
Can adults straighten their teeth?
Yes. We treat patients from 7 to 77, and healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Some adults are fixing crowding that has bothered them for years; others have teeth that drifted after braces as a teenager. Clear aligners and ceramic braces are popular with adults who want a low-profile option.
How much does treatment cost?
Your fee depends on your case and the appliance. Dr. Romani reviews the cost with you at your free consultation, and we go over insurance help and payment plan options at the same visit.
How often will I need appointments?
Braces patients usually come in every 8 to 10 weeks for an adjustment that lasts 20 to 40 minutes.
What if a bracket breaks?
Ring the office and describe what happened. Orthodontic wax usually makes a poking wire or loose bracket comfortable until your next appointment. If something needs prompt attention, we will find an earlier time.
