Carlson Orthodontics

Carlson Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic located at 1901 South St #2, Duluth, MN 55812. They are renowned for providing a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for children, teens, and adults. The clinic distinguishes itself through its commitment to advanced technology and patient-centric care. Key treatments offered include SureSmile®, a cutting-edge clear aligner system that Carlson Orthodontics is the sole provider of in Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, promising faster treatment times and fewer office visits. They are also a preferred provider of Invisalign® treatment, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. For a more modern approach to diagnostics and treatment planning, they utilize iTero intraoral digital scanning technology, eliminating the need for traditional impressions and allowing for precise 3D models of teeth. Carlson Orthodontics places a strong emphasis on early orthodontic evaluation, recommending screenings for children between ages 7 and 9 to detect and address potential issues proactively, often through Phase 1 treatment, to prevent more invasive procedures later. They offer complimentary initial consultations for both children and adults. The clinic's philosophy revolves around convenience, flexibility, and making the orthodontic experience enjoyable. They offer "same-day braces," allowing patients to begin treatment immediately after their consultation. Patients consistently praise the friendly, professional, and compassionate staff, highlighting their attentive care and clear explanations throughout the treatment process. Carlson Orthodontics also provides flexible payment plans through OrthoFi to make treatment more accessible. Their dedication to excellence is evidenced by multiple "Best of the Best" awards in the Northland's People's Choice Awards for Best Dental Office, Best Small Company to Work For, Best Workplace Culture, and Best Customer Service. They actively engage with the community and prioritize building lasting relationships with their patients, fostering a family-like atmosphere. Dr. Carlson, along with other board-certified orthodontists like Dr. Jake Schroeder, leads the team, ensuring high-quality, specialized care.
