Braces for Every Age
Braces remain a staple of orthodontics because they work. We use modern brackets and gentler wire systems to keep treatment comfortable, whether your child is starting out or you’re an adult choosing care for the first time. The result is a smoother experience with fewer adjustments and less discomfort along the way.
Invisalign® for Teens and Adults
Dr. Romani designs a custom Invisalign® treatment plan using state-of-the-art technology, mapping every step from the starting position of your teeth to the final desired result. She brings the depth of experience to treat both straightforward and more involved cases with precision and consistency.
Early Treatment for Growing Smiles
For children, Two-Phase Treatment and palatal expanders can guide jaw growth at just the right time. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age 7, even if no treatment is needed yet, so growth can be monitored before concerns become harder to address.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the orthodontist from North Smithfield, RI?
Our Chepachet office sits a short drive from central North Smithfield, with our East Providence office a bit farther south. Most North Smithfield families reach us by way of Route 102 or Route 146, both of which offer a smooth drive without highway congestion.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic visit by age 7. At that age, enough permanent teeth have come in for Dr. Romani or Dr. Collins to spot developing bite, crowding, or jaw concerns. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it lets us monitor growth and act at the ideal time.
Do you offer Invisalign® for adults and teens?
Yes. We offer Invisalign® and Invisalign® Teen as part of our treatments tailored to suit your lifestyle. Dr. Romani uses advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology to design each aligner sequence around your specific goals.
How much do braces cost and do you offer financing?
Cost varies based on the type of treatment, length of care, and your individual plan. We offer a Payment Calculator, the Family Care Program, and clear financial information at your free consult so there are no surprises. Many families find monthly payment options make treatment very manageable.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatments take 12 to 24 months, though shorter and longer cases exist depending on complexity. During your free consult, Dr. Romani or Dr. Collins will share a realistic timeline based on your customized treatment plan.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes, we work with most major orthodontic insurance plans and offer in-house payment options through our Family Care Program. Our Team will review your benefits with you and explain your costs clearly before treatment begins.
