Anchor Orthodontics is an independent, doctor-owned orthodontic practice with offices in Providence and Wakefield, Rhode Island. Founder Dr. Courtney Lavigne is a board-certified orthodontist who is also an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AAACD), a distinction held by fewer than 1% of dentists worldwide. She lectures nationally on airway-focused orthodontics and is joined by Dr. Lauren Cardarelli, a UConn-trained orthodontist.
The practice specializes in braces and Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults, early orthodontic evaluation by age 7, two-phase treatment when truly needed, palate expanders, LightForce 3D-printed clear braces, and airway-focused orthodontics for children showing signs of mouth breathing or sleep-disordered breathing. Most kids evaluated early do not need treatment right away, and families are told so honestly.
Kids' consultations are free, and no referral is needed. Both offices hold 5.0 Google ratings with nearly 500 combined reviews. The Providence office at 133 Pitman St serves the East Side, East Providence, Pawtucket, Barrington, and southeastern Massachusetts. The Wakefield office at 24 Salt Pond Rd serves South Kingstown, Narragansett, Newport, and all of Washington County.
