About Anchor Orthodontics

Palate expanders and airway-focused early treatment come up often here, alongside a spa-like office with two Providence-area locations.

Anchor Orthodontics draws frequent mentions of palate and MARPE expanders used with both children and adults, often tied to airway and growth concerns rather than just cosmetics. Reviews describe the office itself as modern and spa-like, with technology and waiting areas that families compare favorably to big-city practices. Dr. Courtney Lavigne and Dr. Lauren Cardarelli are described as gentle with children and willing to give an honest opinion when treatment isn't yet needed, and several families mention flexible scheduling across two locations that eases complicated travel.

My out of state granddaughter is vacationing in RI and needed appointment for emergency braces repair. We were relieved Anchor Orthodontics could give us a prompt appointment. A friendly, bright and comfortable office it is. I felt confident with the care given and so did my granddaughter. We thank Peyton and doctor and friendly staff! Our granddaughter is back to having fun on the beach.

As a provider myself I can confidently say that Anchor Orthodontics is the whole package. The entire team treats you like an old friend and they provide unparalleled care. I’m thrilled with the results I got from my orthodontic treatment from both Drs Lavigne and Cardarelli. I worked with both of them for the duration of my treatment and all my concerns were addressed. I would happily recommend Anchor to anyone who wants to improve function and/or esthetics. They are the real deal.

From our first visit, we were so impressed. The office is absolutely gorgeous, and everyone on the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Lavigne came highly recommended by a friend, so we already knew she was incredibly talented. What impressed me even more, though, was how down to earth she is. My daughter has both an upper and lower palate expander and always has a million questions. Dr. Levine never rushes her, always takes the time to answer every question, and explains everything in a way that makes her feel comfortable. She was always super nervous about any doctor/ dental appointment, but she actually gets excited to go here! She loves getting the tokens and is excited to save up enough to pick a prize from the gift wall. Such a great idea for kids, especially to help take away the fear of the dentist that so many of us had growing up. 10 out of 10!

From the very first one call my experience with anchor orthodontics has been nothing sure of exceptional. From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted warmly and treated with genuine respect. Everything was explained clearly in a way I could understand and I never felt pressured at any point. The staff is incredibly attentive, patient and thorough making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The doctors are just as wonderful, professional, knowledgeable, and truly focus on what’s best for the patient. They took the time to explain my treatment options and made sure I felt confident in my Decisions. I would highly recommend anchor orthodontics to anyone, especially older adults who may feel unsure about starting treatment later in life, they make the entire process easy, comfortable and genuinely pleasant from the start..
