It is always our goal at Quad City Orthodontics to offer our patients the very best orthodontic care in Rock Island, IL, Geneseo, IL, Bettendorf, IA and the communities surrounding the Quad City area. We are an airway aware and look for underlying reasons that cause malocclusions.
We truly believe in furthering our education so that we can provide the most advanced treatments available. Our doctor and dental team attend numerous courses to help bring out patients the most up-to-date treatments so that you can have a smile that you are proud to show off.
We are proud to offer many different technologies to align teeth in a way that works for you. We would be glad to go over all of your options so that together we can make the right decision for you and your mouth. We offer digital impressions, 3-D imaging, 3-D printing and laser technology to help achieve the best results. In order to accommodate busy schedules and patients who drive a long distance to have treatment at our office, we also offer Dental Monitoring to track progress more frequently and effectively to help save the number of office trips needed for treatment.
Our top notch dental team is great at what they do. We strive to provide expertise in a fun-loving, caring environment to share our genuine compassions with each patient. We are here to discuss any of your concerns and put you at ease andhelp answer any questions you may have
As an extra incentive for patients to keep their teeth healthy during treatment, we offer a Tooth Token program that rewards patients for good oral hygiene and taking care of their braces. Patients earn tokens to save or spend on prizes in our display case, ranging from gift cards to t-shirts and water bottles as our way of encouraging them to take good care of braces and thanking them for their efforts.
There are very few true orthodontics emergencies. Most can be remedied at home. However, if you have a situation that you cannot resolve on your own, call us as soon as possible. If it is after hours, we have a contact number on the answering machine to reach a team member who is on call.

Wow! My child was very relaxed here. Fantastic, knowledgeable doctors in a comfortable office setting. The staff took the time to get to know us, thoroughly explain the treatment plan, and not make my child feel as just another patient.

My son is 9 and all the lady's there treat him so well. They answer all his questions and are very patient and explain everything to him. Everytime we go it is so nice to see smiling face. Both Doctors are very nice and very proactive. They have seriously made my son breath better and talk better because all her experience . She goes past the braces part and gets to the root of the problem. I love this place ! I highly recommend this especially for tongue tied, small mouth children with breathing problems. They helped him with all of it.

Great office staff at both locations (Bettendorf & Rock Island). Very knowledgeable and have helped fix my daughters teeth, helping her to get a little more confidence. I would definitely recommend Dr. Richards for anyone needing braces. Convenient payment plans, and they've done a great job with my daughters braces, answering any questions we have.

Dr. Richards is fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and takes her time to explain everything that she is doing and what her expectations are. She does not only talk to the parent but also engages with the child as well, so that they understand the process. I currently have both of my children in braces and would recommend anyone I know that's in need of orthodontics to come to this practice. She is one of the best.
