Today I started a new set of aligners. James and Laura were great! They had everything prepped and made me comfortable. As always, Dr. Romani was fantastic with her gentle hand, kind positive words and advice. I was in and out quickly. They are a well oiled machine at Romani Orthodontics!

First of all, I have to say that everyone on the staff are so amazing and have made a huge scary (to me) situation so much better.<3

I had some complications in the beginning and Janice had the magic touch and completely solved an issue I had and that day I asked if I could always see her. Each person that have ever assisted me were fantastic, but Janice is my girl!

Dr. Romani is ridiculously understanding and kind and I'm so so happy I chose to come here. Thank you guyssss and I would always recommend a friend to see you! :)

Breanna M

From my first consult at Romani Orthodontics to the final results a year later, it has been a seamless process. I have nothing but positive feedback for Dr.Romani and her team. They are always so welcoming, friendly and very professional. I had the pleasure of seeing Melissa for several of my appointments. She had walked me through everything that would be done at that appointment and answered any questions I may have had. I am extremely happy with the results I have gotten from Invisalign and the great work from everyone at Romani Orthodontics. I would highly recommend them for anyone who is considering Invisalign.😁🦷

Julie R.

Dr Romani’s staff is always so professional and friendly. Dr Romani is very knowledgeable and explains the plan of care personally to you in a way you can understand. On our second child getting braces, and there is no where else we would go for orthodontics!

Melanie

i had janice and she was the sweetest ever, she talked me through the process of what she was doing and was extremely kind in the process. she even advocated for me asking the doctor when i was going to get my palette expander off which i completely forgot to ask. wonderful experience all around would highly recommend them 🫶🏻

Doug B.

Dr. Romani is transparent about the full treatment process, informing patients about what to expect and how to prepare. I always leave my appointments feeling confident and supported. All the staff are friendly, professional, and efficient but today Melissa was a real stand out!

Nirva L.

My son and daughter went to Romani for their braces, and we received nothing but the best. During every visit, they were very sweet and extremely helpful with questions. My children left with beautiful smiles that wouldn't have been possible without the Romani family.

Odile M.

I am so thankful to the team at Romani Orthodontics, and to my dentist who recommended the treatment initially. If Romani Orthodontics did not exist, we would have to invent it. In their state-of-the-art facility, easy on and off Broadway, Dr. Romani and her team treat each patient with professionalism and kindness. My treatment lasted a bit longer than planned and was followed through at the same financial rate as planned. The result is wonderful and better than I could have imagined. This was possibly my best dental experience ever.

Catherine C.

Great experience. Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful. Always got prompt response to my phone calls.
The doctors are attentive, explain everything well, answered all my questions and addressed my anxieties.
Getting Invisaligns is a long and sometimes complicated process. Romani Orthodontics made it as easy as possible. It's well worth the minor inconvenience of dealing with the bridge closure and the new Henderson Bridge.
Both my husband and I had Invisalign and we can't say enough good things about the practice.

Jen V.

Great experience today for my son's Orthodontic consult appointment. State-of-the-art equipment and presentation was impressive! I highly recommend Dr Romani for your child's Orthodontic needs!
Thank you!

Kay T.

From the moment I walked in Romani Orthodontics I felt comfortable. As an older adult getting braces was not an easy process but I am grateful for the caring and understanding of the staff, especially J, who helped me thru. I love how my teeth came out and appreciate all that Romani Orthodontics did to make that happen.

giselle T.

Treated me very well, absolutely love the orthodontists and nurses, they are all so sweet. I had 2 phases of braces and it went really well, never had any complaints!!
(ps. had my graduation day today!! sad and happy at the same time… but i’m glad i did it. braces are worth it!)

Michelle B.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Romani and her team! From the first consultation to the final result, they were professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. The office is always welcoming, and appointments are efficient with minimal wait times. My treatment plan was clearly explained, and they made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Now, I couldn’t be happier with my smile! I highly recommend Dr. Romani to anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic care!

Marqus B.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Romani Orthopedic. Staff was amazing including the Dr herself. I’m extremely happy with my results, no more crooked smile😁

Clarence I.

After bearing with an impacted tooth for over 10 years I was recommended Romani Orthodontics by my dentist. That was the best recommendation she could give me because they did a stellar job of not only moving my impacted tooth about half an inch into it's proper place but they also corrected my over-bite and aligned all my teeth perfectly! Their customer service also matches their level of expertise, I could not rate them highly enough. My smile has never looked so good!

Gary Z.

Dr. Romani and her staff are very personable and professional. The work on my teeth is excellent. I am glad that I have this Team. Gary Zimmer

Jennifer M.

TEN out of TEN. My son was treated with Invisalign. Despite the number of clients Dr Romani has she somehow pays such close attention to each patient and we always felt like we had her undivided attention. She was caring, gave excellent advice and we always trusted her. She’s an excellent doctor who isn’t just focused on the end result but also on your customer experience and I truly appreciate that. If you’re looking for an orthodontist this office is your answer. We interviewed multiple doctors before choosing Romani and I’m so grateful we made the right choice.

Brayden F.

My teeth have never been so straight! Everyone there was very kind, informative and made the experience a breeze overall. Highly recommend if you’re ever in need of orthodontic care.

Christopher F.

Dr. Romani and staff were awesome. I've had 2 of my kids work with them and they really engage with the kids and make the experience of getting braces as fun as possible. I highly recommend Romani Orthodontics.

Robin D.

I am 65 & decided, for the health of my teeth, to get Invisalign & was referred to Dr Romani in June. I can’t begin to say enough great things about Dr. Romani & her entire staff…they’re friendly, efficient & I feel like I’m amongst friends every time I go for an appt. Dr. Romani communicated the process clearly from the beginning, I’m ~1/2 way through my treatment & couldn’t be happier with my progress so far!! If you want a partner for you or your child’s orthodontic needs…I’d HIGHLY recommend Dr. Romani!

Polly H.

I am so pleased with the results of my Invisalign. I have received many compliments on my new smile. Dr. Romani and her staff were extremely professional and competent. Initially, the aligners and attachments on my teeth took some getting used to. The entire process has taken a pretty long time for me, but it has been 100 % worth it, and was amazed at how quickly my smile started to improve. I saw a real change after only about 10 weeks!

Mindalisa Torres S.

Dr Romani saved me from a bad experience I had with another dentist. My treatment only took a year and she was professional as well as her team throughout the whole process. The office is always clean and everyone there is respectful. I have never had an issue from beginning to my graduation of my braces. Thanks to her I can have confidence in my perfect smile!

Kimberly P.

My daughter had a great experience at the East Providence location. The made the process of getting braces painless.

Dr Romani is able to find solutions for old teeth. As if I were her mother. Fantastic!

wswchen

My 8yo son has just started treatment for crowding, needing an expander and braces. He had one of the brackets become loose the day before Thanksgiving, and the staff/office went above and beyond to get him in before the holiday, even staying a little later than their scheduled office closing time, as his school bus was late in dropoff that day. I so much appreciate them, and he was able to enjoy his Thanksgiving weekend meals without worrying about a loose bracket. Thank you!

Dr. Romani and her team are truly one of a kind, combining expertise with genuine compassion. My daughter, who is usually shy and nervous, felt safe and welcomed from the moment she walked in. They take the time to understand that every family’s needs, background, and level of support are different, and their commitment to providing personalized care is evident in everything they do. They engage my daughter in the process, explaining each step clearly and making sure she’s comfortable with what’s coming next. The entire team is thoughtful, from the front desk to the dental assistants, and Dr. Romani’s knowledge is paired with advanced technology, making the experience seamless and comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone looking for orthodontic care that truly goes above and beyond!

I decided to get Invisalign with Dr Romani and her team. They came highly recommended to me from another patient who received traditional braces. The experience has been wonderful throughout the entire process. The office staff are wonderful, fun and kind. All phases of the process were explained thorougjly throughout this journey.

Jen M.

Dr. Romani and her staff took fantastic care of my daughter. Being 14, she was extremely anxious about getting braces. They took their time with her, explained the process, and her teeth are beautiful. After completing treatment she struggled with her retainer being uncomfortable. Dr. Romani suggested that we switch to Invisalign she wears it every night without complaint!

Taylor J.

Dr. Romani and her team are absolutely fantastic! They totally exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier with the results of my Invisalign. I had braces as a kid and I didn’t wear my retainers. So my smile needed almost all the work from scratch and Dr. Romani and her staff truly gave me a smile I am proud to show off! Thank you!!! 😁

Their specialized training ensures a thorough understanding of the latest techniques and technologies, resulting in comprehensive consultations that address specific orthodontic concerns effectively.

What technological advances do modern orthodontists use?

Consult an orthodontist for a professional evaluation.

Do orthodontists offer flexible payment plans?

Yes, orthodontists often offer flexible payment plans to help make orthodontic treatment more affordable for patients. These plans can include options for monthly installments, financing, or payment arrangements tailored to individual needs.

Are orthodontic treatments painful or discomforting?

Orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign may cause some discomfort or soreness initially as the teeth adjust. This discomfort is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. However, the level of pain varies among individuals and throughout the treatment process.

Will my orthodontist provide retainers post-braces?

Yes, your orthodontist will provide retainers post-braces to maintain your teeth alignment. Retainers are crucial after braces to prevent teeth from shifting back. Your orthodontist will guide you on wearing and caring for your retainers to ensure long-lasting results.

Does every orthodontic case require surgery?

Not every orthodontic case requires surgery. Many cases can be successfully treated with non-surgical options such as braces, aligners, or other orthodontic appliances. Surgery is typically reserved for more severe cases or when jaw misalignment issues are present. It's essential to consult with an orthodontist to determine the best treatment plan for each individual case.

What credentials should a good orthodontist have?

A good orthodontist should have a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, followed by completion of a specialized orthodontic residency program. Board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics is also essential. Additionally, ongoing education and training in the latest orthodontic techniques are crucial for providing top-quality care.

Are orthodontists responsible for teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure and is usually performed by dentists or specialized cosmetic dental professionals. If you are interested in teeth whitening, it's best to consult with a dentist who offers this service.
