Award-winning Invisalign & braces in Cranston, RI — by Dr. Cosmo Haralambidis, the orthodontist who invented the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser. Free consultation. Most insurance accepted. Nearly 30 years of beautiful smiles.
Dr. Cosmo didn't just find a better way to treat patients — he invented one. The Synapse Dental Pain Eraser is the world's first dental electronic anesthesia device. Using precision nerve stimulation, it intercepts pain signals before they're perceived — eliminating discomfort with no injections, no numbing agents, and no recovery time.

See Adult Invisalign Options →Dr. Cosmo isn't a general dentist who also does orthodontics. He's a board-certified orthodontic specialist who's spent nearly three decades on one thing — helping Cranston families fall in love with their smiles. Recognized as the AAO's Innovator of the Year, inventor of the patented Synapse Dental Pain Eraser, and faculty at Boston University and UPenn, Dr. Cosmo is among the select 6% of orthodontists certified by the American Board of Orthodontics.
"I shopped 3 orthodontists before Dr. Cosmo. He was the only one who didn't push us into early treatment. Honest, kind, and the office is gorgeous. My daughter actually looks forward to her appointments."
"The Synapse pain eraser is unreal. I've had braces tightened a dozen times in my life — never once like this. Zero needles, zero discomfort. Dr. Cosmo is operating at a different level than anyone else in Rhode Island."
"They made it work for our family — no surprises on cost, monthly payments that fit our budget. We've now sent both our kids here. Worth the drive from Warwick."
"Dr. Cosmo personally explained every step. No pressure, no upsell. I walked in unsure and walked out with a clear plan and a number I could actually afford."
"Came in for a second opinion after another office told me I needed extractions. Dr. Cosmo had a completely different plan — no extractions, beautiful result. The man knows his craft."
"No one at work even noticed I was wearing Invisalign. I had presentations, client dinners — and now I have a smile I'm not afraid of in photos. Should've done this 10 years ago."

This is what makes Cranston Orthodontics genuinely different. Dr. Cosmo invented the Synapse Dental Pain Eraser — a patented device that uses precision nerve stimulation to intercept pain signals before they're perceived. No needles. No numbing agents. No recovery time.
Most adult Invisalign cases finish in 6–18 months. Traditional braces typically run 18–24 months, though Dr. Cosmo will give you a precise timeline at your consult based on your specific bite and goals.
Most orthodontic insurance plans cover a portion of treatment — often $1,500–$3,000 toward braces or Invisalign. We accept most major plans and handle all the paperwork. We'll verify your specific benefits at your free consult.
A board-certified specialist designs every step of your treatment, monitors your bite as you go, and corrects course in real-time. Mail-order companies don't have an orthodontist directly involved — and complex cases can go wrong without that oversight.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check at age 7 — before most kids need any treatment. We can spot issues early and often delay treatment by intervening at the right time. If your child doesn't need treatment, we'll tell you.
No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and adults often finish treatment faster than teenagers because they're more consistent with wear. The most common regret we hear: "I should have done this 10 years ago."
You'll meet Dr. Cosmo, get a 3D smile preview, see your before-and-after digitally, and walk away with a custom treatment plan and exact monthly payment options. No pressure, no upsell. The whole visit takes about 45–60 minutes.
Your free consultation is exactly what it sounds like — free, no pressure, and a real consultation with Dr. Cosmo himself.
