Meet your orthodontist

Dr. Nicholas Romans, DMD, MSD.

A board-certified, craniofacial fellowship trained orthodontist, and the one person who will plan your treatment, check it, adjust it and finish it.

He chose this work for the people in the chair rather than the teeth in the scan, and every decision he made on the way here points the same direction.

Free, with no obligation. You leave with an exact written price for your case.

Why orthodontics

The pattern in his choices.

You can learn a lot about a doctor from the decisions nobody made him make. Here are three of them.

Extra study nobody asked him to do.

Dr. Romans earned his dental degree at A.T. Still University, and while he was there he also earned a certificate in public health. Nothing required it. It is a course of study about how care reaches whole communities rather than one mouth at a time, and he took it on top of a schedule that was already full.

Before that came a B.S. in Biology at the University of Kansas. So the science was never the interesting part of the decision. The interesting part was who the science was for.

Then he went looking for the hardest cases.

After orthodontic specialty training at Saint Louis University, where his graduate research examined Invisalign treatment outcomes, he could have gone straight into practice. Instead he took a craniofacial fellowship at St. Louis Children's Hospital, working with the Washington University team on children born with cleft lip and palate. Those are among the highest-stakes cases in the field, the ones where the bite, the airway and the growing face all have to be planned together over years, not months.

He kept volunteering the whole way through: Give Kids A Smile, Missions of Mercy, Dentures for Veterans, and the Arizona Humane Society. At every fork in the road he picked the version of dentistry that was about people rather than teeth.

So he built the practice to match.

Romans Orthodontics is solo and doctor-owned, and that is a clinical decision as much as a business one. One person plans your case, checks it, adjusts it and finishes it, and that person is Dr. Romans. There is nobody to hand the difficult parts to, which is exactly the point.

Records start with digital scans instead of impression putty, so the first appointment is quick and there is nothing to gag on. Your free consult ends with one written all-in price covering treatment and retainers, and it is yours to keep whether you start or not.

Away from the office

There is more to him than the training.

This part belongs to Dr. Romans, in his own words, so it is waiting on him rather than on us.
