Dr. Jason Izzi is passionate about the field of orthodontics and being able to improve the health and well being of others. He grew up with a medical background. His father is an orthopedic surgeon, who for 40 years has practiced medicine in the same location Dr. Izzi now shares.

Growing up with my father I saw many examples of how his studies and hard work gave him the skills to help others. I took that very seriously throughout my dental education and still enjoy the aspect of medicine that allows me to continually learn and improve my skills for the benefit of my patients.

Dr. Izzis brother Joseph followed in their father's foot steps and now practices orthopedics with their father. Dr. Jason Izzi chose to pursue a career in dentistry. He spent ten years in Boston completing the necessary degrees. First becoming a general dentist and then spending an additional two years to become an orthodontist.

The best thing about practicing orthodontics is the ability to share in the rewards of treatment with your patients. After the braces are removed, its sometimes dramatic how much an adolescents confidence improves with their new smile. Adult patients always take great satisfaction in fixing their problems and finally achieving that perfect alignment they had been looking for.

After completing his education Doctor Izzi moved back to Rhode Island. He opened three practices in the areas where he and his families had grown up. It is with great satisfaction that he now uses what he learned to serve those communities.

Dr. Izzi completed his undergraduate degree at Boston College. He then received his Doctorate in Dental Medicine from Tufts University where he was awarded a merit scholarship. For his orthodontic education, he attended Boston University and completed two years of study in orthodontics and craniofacial orthopedics. At Boston University he studied under Dr. Anthony Gianelli. Dr. Gianelly was a world-renowned lecturer, author of several textbooks on orthodontics, and founder of the bi-dimensional technique. Dr. Izzi now practices that technique along with several others to provide the most efficient treatment possible.

Dr. Izzi grew up in Lincoln, Rhode Island and lived in North Providence for ten years before moving to North Kingstown in 2008. Outside the office, Dr. Izzi likes to spend time with his wife, Kimberly, their children, Santino and Jayci, and their two dogs and two cats.

Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.

Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.

For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:

The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:

Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.
