About This Provider
Dr. Marielena Arroyo-Pratt is an orthodontist in Richmond with 19 years of experience helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles.

Dr. Arroyo-Pratt graduated with honors from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry and serves as an adjunct faculty member there, staying current with the latest orthodontic technologies and techniques. She was inspired to become an orthodontist after getting braces herself as a young patient, which gives her real understanding of what her patients experience.
