Picking an orthodontist for your child is a big decision. Here is what parents at our Providence and Wakefield offices wrote on Google, in their own words: nervous first visits, early checks, palate expanders and the questions we love to answer.
“Arianna was so incredible with my rather shy and timid son and made the whole encounter so comfortable, and fun that he was asking to go back sooner than scheduled!”
“I brought my 4 year old daughter for an early eval and Arianna and Dr. Lavigne took care of her as if they were family…My daughter is a shy girl in nature and she even felt comfortable and left happy.”
“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.”
A lot of kids walk in a little unsure. Here is what parents noticed by the time they walked out.
Orthodontics for kids“The ladies took their time to explain everything to my son before they did anything and left him in complete control of the appointment.”
“From the initial consultation to each appointment after, the doctors and hygienists explain every step and made our very apprehensive daughter feel comfortable and relaxed.”
“After our first visit, my son was briefed on the reward program they do within the office and he is totally sold and excited to begin his orthodontic journey, despite his initial fears at first.”
Parents who came in early, sometimes at age 4, and what they learned.
How palate expanders work“The difference we’ve already seen in her mouth and how her teeth are coming in since expansion has been amazing. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Anchor, especially for young kids!”
“The team at Anchor put my daughters’ palate expanders and braces on at age 7. They did an excellent job, and my daughter does not mind visiting.”
“The staff are amazing especially with the diagnostic process and explaining everything to my 4yr old to help calm her fear. Dr. Lavigne is absolutely wonderful and really explained my daughter’s situation, treatment plan and a good timeline for her progress.”
“From the moment we walked in, the staff made my kids feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for. They are well organized, patient, and kind, and they take the time to explain everything in a way both kids and parents can understand.”
Why some families chose an airway-focused approach.
Airway-focused orthodontics“That kind of openness made us feel so much more confident in our decision to start care early.”
“I love that they are airway focused and have a proactive approach and looking to prevent future issues. My 5yo felt so comfortable during her appointments…”
What parents say about the first consult and the questions that come with it.
When to book a first check“…the clinical staff was very thorough with their examination, and their explanations of the recommended treatment based on their evaluation were detailed and comprehensive.”
“They answered every one of my questions without making me feel rushed.”
“Scheduling is so easy and the office is beautiful. The rewards also work great to incentivize my son to take good care of his teeth and braces in between appointments!”
The little things kids remember, and why some families bring the whole crew.
Braces at Anchor“I am grateful to this team for supporting my 8 and 10 year old in their orthodontic journey, I feel great comfort in knowing they are on our team!”
Some families came to us after treatment somewhere else, or after hearing a plan that did not feel right.
Thinking about a second opinion?“My child had Phase One treatment at another orthodontist, and unfortunately it ended up being a complete waste of time and money…Since switching to Anchor Orthodontics, the difference has been night and day.”
“before we found anchor we had met with 3 other offices that could not do what both girls needed…After coming up with a plan for each of the girl's that did not involve surgery we quickly started care.”
“I was concerned my teeth had been compromised and that further treatment would be inevitable. Meeting Dr. Lavigne and her outstanding team changed everything for me.”
