As an orthodontist, I am passionate about the treatment I provide and enjoy working as a team patient, parent, doctor, staff to achieve the best orthodontic results for each person. By partnering with my patient and their family, providing understandable information about their clinical situation and how treatment actually works, I am able to inspire engagement and compliance with the treatment process. This makes treatment more efficient and comfortable, and delivers the best results.
As a mother, I understand a parents concerns and also know how to reach out to and engage with younger patients. When designing a treatment plan, I always approach with the mindset of, If this was my child, what would I do? and use that to guide me.
I have been practicing since 1999 and opened Montgomery Orthodontics in 2002. Growing up, we had family friends who were dentists and physicians and I was always interested in science and art. Orthodontics was the most appealing professional path, as it is the perfect combination of the analytical and artistic, and allows me time to get to know each patient on a personal level. Those connections are fulfilling and I appreciate the friendships that develop while achieving each persons best smile.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.

This is literally the best experience I have ever had at a medical establishment. My whole family including myself had our teeth done by Dr. Mary Richmond. She is hugely experienced and it really shows. She is completely up front and honest - I trust her completely, as did my rather nervous 7 year old son! Also, the place is a model of efficiency. I have never had to wait for more than a few minutes because they have everything organized so well. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you for doing such a great job fixing our teeth in my family!!

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.

A wonderful service, these are caring and responsible people. They are working with you, adjust and support. Doctor is very passionate and thoughtful, she's supporting local baseball team thorough years, is very kind and gentle. We had to come several times after hours because of discomfort with the braces or similar things, they were cleaning the office and they never turned us around. They really care.
