It's the end of an era on Pitman St here in !

We just watched the Eastside Marketplace sign come down after so many years in our Providence community. We're super excited to welcome Whole Foods this fall!

Providence, we’re ready for this next chapter! And ready for the hot bar and salad bar right next door to our office... 😂

We have the standard first day of school photos after all of this went down, but why show only a curated version of the morning? I hope all of the parents are surviving the back to school transitions, hang in there!

Excuse the mess! New 3D printers are going in, so the swag closet got evicted. Everything will be back to normal by your next visit, promise! Dr. Lavigne and Dr. Cardarelli go through every new case together. They see patients independently all week, then sit down and calibrate on all of it. Whichever doctor your kid sees, both of them know the plan.

The brackets we put on Tylia today will never fit another person on earth!

Tylia works here at Anchor Orthodontics. She got her full set of braces on this morning, and every single bracket on her teeth was 3D-printed for one specific tooth in one specific mouth. Hers!

Most braces are stock. One bracket design, pulled from a drawer, stuck on a 9 year old and a 40 year old alike. LightForce doesn't work that way.

Dr. Lavigne and Dr. Cardarelli plan every case together, decide exactly where each tooth needs to finish, then design each bracket to drive that tooth there.

Precision does something you actually feel. Treatment finishes faster. Fewer appointments. Longer stretches between visits, which matters when you are the one doing the driving. And the results are dramatically better than what we could do with stock brackets!

If your child needs braces, or you have been told they do and you want a second set of eyes, come see us. Kids' consultations are free and you do not need a referral.
