“We came to Anchor Orthodontics not just for orthodontic concerns, but out of a deeper worry for my son's recently diagnosed sleep apnea and ADHD… Within weeks of starting treatment, the snoring dramatically decreased, and for the first time in a long while, our child began sleeping peacefully through the night. Even more astonishing were the changes in daytime behavior—focus improved, energy levels stabilized, and ADHD-like symptoms noticeably reduced. It's like we got our child back, only now they're thriving.”

“We went in for an evaluation on my 8 year old, they gave us an honest opinion that he didn't need any ortho treatment right now, but referred us to a specialist to look at his jaw growth and tongue pattern.”

“before we found anchor we had met with 3 other offices that could not do what both girls needed. (surgery was highly recommended for both of them)… After coming up with a plan for each of the girl's that did not involve surgery we quickly started care.”

“Being a dentist myself, I always want to send my son where other doctors send theirs. This IS where we send them! There are very few orthodontists who understand growth, development, airway, and orthodontic movements like Dr's Lavigne and Cardarelli… I drive an hour to see Dr. Lavigne and I'd triple that.”

“Her other ortho wanted to pull 4 teeth and they have been able to create a plan with no extractions which was extremely important to us.”

“My son is 11 and struggles with some sensory issues and the dentist is always tough. Anchor staff was great with him, he was able to take breaks, go at his pace, everything was explained to him.”

“From the moment we walked in, my once-nervous 9 year old felt comfortable with the entire experience. Both offices are awesome… Dr. Lavigne is knowledgable and patient, and particularly helped us understand the relationship between the orthodontic process and airway support.”
