Anchor Orthodontics

Anchor Orthodontics is a distinguished orthodontic practice located in Providence, Rhode Island, that stands out for its unique combination of expertise. The clinic is led by Dr. Courtney Lavigne, who holds the rare distinction of being a dual board-certified orthodontist by the American Board of Orthodontics and an accredited cosmetic dentist by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. This blend of qualifications allows the practice to offer a holistic approach to patient care, focusing not only on a straight smile but also on a patient's overall dental health and aesthetic outcomes. The practice provides a wide range of services for patients of all ages, from 3 to 103. A key specialty is Early intervention orthodontics for children, where Dr. Lavigne and her team focus on airway-driven comprehensive treatment and guiding proper growth and development. For adults, the clinic offers specialized orthodontic treatments, often working closely with general dentists to set up cases for future dental work like implants, crowns, or veneers. Available treatments include traditional metal Braces, discreet clear braces, and 3D-printed clear braces (LightForce). The practice also offers a variety of Clear aligners, including the popular Invisalign system, and provides palate expanders for both children and adults. In addition to standard orthodontic services, Anchor Orthodontics offers TMJ evaluation and treatment, and sleep apnea evaluations, highlighting its commitment to comprehensive health beyond just dental alignment. The team at Anchor Orthodontics is known for its friendly, supportive, and patient-focused environment. They prioritize patient comfort and convenience, offering virtual consultations and striving to accommodate busy schedules with early morning and late afternoon appointments. The clinic's philosophy is rooted in providing a personalized experience, where the team acts as a "work family" and ensures patients feel respected and comfortable throughout their entire treatment journey.
