The practice is committed to providing comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults, emphasizing personalized treatment plans and a patient-centric approach. They are known for their warm and welcoming environment, with a team of friendly, professional, and knowledgeable staff, including doctors like Dr. Jake Schroeder and Dr. Nate Caple, who are passionate about advanced technology and effective treatment. Carlson Orthodontics offers a wide array of services designed to meet diverse orthodontic needs. These include traditional braces, SureSmile technology (which they claim to be the only practice to offer in Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, providing faster and more comfortable tooth movement), and Invisalign clear aligners. They also provide "Same-Day Braces" or Invisalign starts, allowing patients to begin treatment immediately after their initial consultation to save time. The clinic utilizes advanced technology such as iTero digital scanners for impressionless treatment, creating 3D models of teeth for precise planning of aligners, custom palatal expanders, and retainers. They also offer Phase 1 treatment for younger children, evaluating and addressing potential bite issues early on. A key aspect of Carlson Orthodontics' philosophy is making orthodontic treatment accessible and enjoyable. They offer complimentary consultations, flexible payment plans powered by OrthoFi, and work with patients to understand their insurance coverage. The clinic actively fosters a positive patient experience through initiatives like their Patient Rewards Hub, where patients can earn points and rewards for maintaining good oral hygiene and attending appointments. Testimonials consistently highlight the compassionate care, clear communication, and professional yet fun atmosphere. Their core values include building trust through integrity, pursuing excellence, celebrating smiles with positive energy, and fostering lasting relationships with their patients. The practice also engages with the community through various events and programs.
