About Cranston Orthodontics
Cranston Orthodontics provides dental care on Phenix Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island. Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A little over a year ago, one of the bands on my bottom braces fell off. My appointment to get the bottom braces off was maybe a week after the band fell off. I decided to just wait until that appointment in order to avoid an extra appointment that would of course cost me money. During that week, my bottom teeth shifted a good amount. I had the braces on for around 9 months at this point. When I got to my appointment, the assistants looked at my teeth and said “we’re still going to take them off”, despite clearly acknowledging the fact that my teeth had shifted. After this, they gave me a retainer, which they said was supposed to help my teeth shift a bit more back into place. This did not happen. My teeth stayed the exact same. Before the braces, I had invisiline retainers for my bottom teeth that I would switch off every two weeks. This did not work for me at all and many of the 1 star reviews I have read say the same. I switched to braces for my bottom teeth, which cost another $750 by the way, because the invisiline just wasn’t working. And after they took the braces off despite spacing in my teeth, they did not work yet again. I had braces on my top teeth for years here and they were perfectly fine and my teeth are good on my top. I just would NOT recommend getting the retainers/ invisiline that they provide here. Huge waste of my time and money. I am now switching to a different provider who won’t waste my time.
we love Cranston orthodontics!!
My son is going here for his braces. I highly recommend this place everyone is super nice and professional.
After seeing the great results for my youngest daughter, I signed up and just finished getting my teeth fixed. Dr. Cosmo and his team were very professional, and I highly recommend this establishment. I was able to pay monthly over time, so it was very affordable!
My experience here has been exceptional. The team here has completely transformed my teeth and made me feel more confident with my smile. I receive compliments everyday on my smile, something that I'm not so used to. Highly recommend!
The front desk staff is awful and so rude. It’s extremely unpleasant dealing with them. This is in response to the office management who replied back to my review: There was never any explaination of the policy for Saturday appointments. I’m sure it was documented in the chart somewhere that the policy was discussed with me but I can assure you, it was not. I did recieved a phone call today, 6/5/2026, from someone at the office. All she asked was why I left a 1-star review. I thoroughly explained why and there was never ANY mention from her to remove my review. I truly believe this practice is money hungry and does not care about patients at all. From day 1 I felt that I was just another number there and it was not a nice feeling. I completed my treatment and I can count on one hand how many times I actually saw the doctor (twice). I dealt with one orthodontic assistant who was incredibly pleasant and made up for the rest of the staff otherwise I would of left the practice a long time ago. This practice is another example of poor practices in Rhode Island masked by flashy media advertisements. Spare yourself the aggravation and go to an orthodontic practice that truly puts patients first. This is gaslighting at its finest. They cannot accept that someone is unhappy with their experience here and clearly will do nothing to change it. They would rather have YOU apologize and remove the review to obtain their image. Now that is bullying. Which I will not stand for.
Dr. Cosmo created a plan to restore my bite and give me the smile of my lifetime. The nine-month process of changing aligners is complete. I am proud of my new smile and can now easily open a bag of "whatever" using my teeth! (Seriously, I was able to do so at the starr of this journey!) Thank you to Dr. Cosmo and his wonderful staff!
Dr. Cosmo and his team of professionals are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!🤩 They are not only exceptional with their work but all the staff are super friendly and welcoming. They make you feel at ease! Thanks Dr. cosmo for making my smile beautiful again 😁
I cannot recommend Cranston Orthodontics enough! After a two-year journey, I finally have the perfect smile I’ve always wanted. The team’s attention to detail and clinical expertise throughout the entire process was incredible. They didn't just focus on straightening my teeth; they made sure my bite and overall alignment were flawless. It was a long commitment, but the results speak for themselves. If you're looking for a team that truly cares about the end result, this is the place to go! Highly recommended!
My experience has always been excellent. From the very beginning, Marlene has been wonderful—she is consistently pleasant, patient, and very friendly with my children. She always makes sure to answer any questions I have and truly goes above and beyond. The rest of the staff is equally kind. They always greet my children and me with a smile, and their welcoming attitude makes every visit enjoyable. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
