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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
