Invisalign in Providence

Looking for Invisalign in Providence? Clear aligners only work as well as the prescription behind them. At Anchor Orthodontics on Pitman Street, your Invisalign plan is written and supervised by a board-certified orthodontist, not a mail-order algorithm. We see teens and adults at our East Side office and match the right aligner system to your case.

Who clear aligners are right for

Aligners work well for motivated teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding or spacing. The real catch is wear time: roughly 22 hours a day, out only for eating and drinking anything other than water. For a motivated patient that is very doable. For someone who tends to lose retainers, that is a conversation worth having honestly up front. Our main Invisalign page explains how we decide between aligners and braces.

Specialist care on the East Side

Dr. Courtney Lavigne is a board-certified orthodontist and an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a distinction held by fewer than 1% of dentists worldwide. Dr. Lauren Cardarelli brings advanced training and published research in 3D imaging. Both see patients at our Providence office. If aligners are right for you, we will say so. If braces will serve you better, we will tell you that too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Invisalign work as well as braces?

For the right case, yes. With careful planning, aligners can handle many cases that once required braces. The key is the doctor behind the aligners, which is why the same case can get very different results in different hands.

How many hours a day do I have to wear the aligners?

About 20 to 22 hours a day. They come out for meals and for brushing, and that is about it. Consistency is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule.

Where do I go for Invisalign appointments in Providence?

Our Providence office is at 133 Pitman Street on the East Side, near Wayland Square and College Hill, with on-site parking. You can also choose our Wakefield office if that is closer.

Why see an orthodontist instead of a mail-order aligner company?

Mail-order aligners move teeth without anyone examining your roots, bone, gums, or bite in person. An orthodontist plans the movement from 3D imaging, supervises it, and can adjust course when biology does not follow the plan.
