Quad City Orthodontics

Quad City Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic with multiple convenient locations across the Quad City area, including Geneseo, Rock Island, Illinois, and Bettendorf, Iowa. The practice is dedicated to providing comprehensive and advanced orthodontic care for patients of all ages, from children to adults. Led by experienced orthodontists like Dr. Anne "Bronwen" Richards and Dr. Jessica Piepenbrink, the clinic prides itself on a patient-centered approach. Dr. Richards, who previously taught orthodontics at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, brings a wealth of academic and practical expertise, while Dr. Piepenbrink is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and serves her hometown of Geneseo. Quad City Orthodontics offers a wide range of services designed to address various orthodontic needs. Their core treatments include traditional braces, with a particular focus on the Damon® System. This innovative self-ligating technology is highlighted for its ability to reduce pressure on teeth, minimize the need for extractions or rapid palatal expanders, and provide greater comfort during treatment. They also offer their own brand of QCO Aligners for minor tooth movements, providing an alternative to traditional braces. The clinic is committed to investing in state-of-the-art technology to enhance diagnosis, treatment, and patient convenience. This includes digital impressions using iTero Intraoral Scanners, advanced 3D imaging with cone beam CT scans to identify problems within bone and under the gums, and 3D printing capabilities for creating custom appliances. They also utilize dental laser technology to improve results and reduce treatment times, and incorporate Dental Monitoring, an app-based system that allows for virtual progress checks, potentially reducing the number of in-office visits. Beyond just straightening teeth, Quad City Orthodontics adopts an "airway aware" approach, evaluating how jaw position and tongue habits impact breathing patterns and overall health, aiming for long-term stability of orthodontic results. The clinic emphasizes a comfortable and caring environment, with a highly trained and enthusiastic dental team dedicated to providing a positive experience. Patients frequently praise the friendly staff, efficient scheduling, and the doctors' expertise and compassion, often highlighting the remarkable results achieved. Flexible financing options are also available to help patients achieve their desired smiles within their budget.
