Services
Orthodontic Consultation
Our complimentary consultation includes a thorough oral exam, X-rays, and personalized treatment planning. Dr. Richmond will assess your dental alignment needs and discuss options like braces or Invisalign. We explain financial details and insurance options during this visit to help you make informed decisions about your orthodontic care.
Traditional Braces
We offer modern metal and ceramic braces that efficiently correct complex alignment issues. Our hands-on approach ensures Dr. Richmond personally performs all adjustments. Treatment plans consider your specific dental needs while maintaining comfort throughout the orthodontic process for optimal long-term results.
Invisalign Treatment
Our Invisalign solutions provide discreet teeth straightening using custom-made clear aligners. We offer teen-specific options with eruption tabs for developing smiles. Patients receive detailed care instructions and regular progress monitoring to ensure proper alignment while maintaining oral hygiene during treatment.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
We specialize in early intervention for children aged 6-8 to address jaw development issues. This preventive approach creates space for permanent teeth eruption, potentially avoiding future extractions. Our team uses diagnostic records to create customized plans that guide proper facial growth and dental alignment.
Two-Phase Treatment
Our two-phase approach optimizes treatment outcomes by addressing jaw development first, followed by final tooth positioning. Phase one focuses on skeletal correction while phase two uses full braces for precise alignment. This method ensures stable, lasting results that complement facial aesthetics and functional bite patterns.

Dr. Richmond is extremely knowledgeable, thorough in her work. She suggests feasible options instead of pushing you towards the most expensive one. She is great with kids. Staff at this place is also excellent - professional and courteous. Great place.

Both of my children have received orthodontic care from Montgomery Orthodontics. I interviewed 5 or 6 different orthodontists before choosing Dr Richmond's practice. My children and I are all very happy with our choice. Dr Richmond is the best.

Dr. Richmond and her staff are all great! Very positive experience. Covid safety was taken seriously and she only sees one patient at a time, giving them her full attention. Dr. Richmond is kind and professional- my son enjoys going to her.

I have taken both of my kids to Dr Richmond over the past 7 years; my daughter for braces and most recently, my son for Invisalign. It's very apparent that communication of what she's doing, why and what to expect are key priorities for her. She takes time to answer any questions and provide options so you can make an informed decision. I couldn't imagine taking my kids anywhere else.
