Your Smile, Our Passion
Precision Care
Invisalign®
Invisalign®
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth with a lower-profile look. It is a popular option for teens and adults who want effective orthodontic treatment with more flexibility in daily life.
Clear Braces
Clear Braces
Clear braces use ceramic brackets that blend in more naturally with the teeth, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They are often chosen by patients who want the control of braces with a more discreet appearance.Metal Braces
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain one of the most reliable options for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues. They offer precise control and can be an excellent choice for children, teens, and adults who need comprehensive orthodontic treatment.Palatal Expansion
Palatal Expansion
Palatal expansion helps widen the upper jaw when there is not enough room for proper tooth alignment or bite development. It is most often used in younger patients while the jaw is still developing.Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early treatment allows developing bite and jaw concerns to be identified and addressed at the right stage of growth. For some children, that timing can make later treatment simpler and more effective.
Meet Dr. Cartier
For decades, Dr. Michelle Cartier has had the privilege of creating beautifully aligned smiles for patients across the Hamptons. What continues to shape her work is not only the transformation of a smile, but the confidence that comes with it.
Dr. Michelle T. Cartier, DDS, CAGS, earned her DDS from Georgetown University Dental School and completed her orthodontic specialty training at Boston University. She has been creating smiles since 1995 and has been board certified since 2012.
Patients trust Dr. Cartier not only for her credentials, but for the way she delivers care: calm, precise, and centered on the individual. Every treatment plan is built with close attention to both appearance and function, so the result feels balanced, healthy, and built to last.
Smile Transformations
Every smile transformation should look natural, feel balanced, and support the way a patient lives day to day. Whether treatment involves braces, Invisalign®, early intervention, or more complex correction, the goal is always the same: a result that improves alignment, supports function, and leaves patients feeling more confident in their smile.
What Sets Us Apart
Patients come to Cartier Orthodontics for treatment, but they stay confident in the process because of how care is delivered.
What makes our practice different:
Treatment is led by Dr. Michelle Cartier, whose board certification reflects advanced orthodontic training and a strong commitment to precision, quality, and long-term results.
We treat patients at every stage of life, with recommendations shaped by age, development, lifestyle, and the specific orthodontic needs of the smile.
With offices in Southampton and Wainscott, it is easier to begin treatment and keep up with visits without adding unnecessary inconvenience to your schedule.
A complimentary consultation makes it easier to understand your options, ask questions, and find out what treatment may be the right fit before making a commitment.
Every treatment plan is built around the individual, with close attention to comfort, clarity, and the kind of result that looks natural and functions well over time.
Virtual Appointments
We offer virtual appointments for Invisalign® and aligner patients when certain follow-up visits can be handled more conveniently from home.
- Current Invisalign® or aligner patients
- Select progress checks
- Appropriate follow-up monitoring
Virtual appointments are not available for first-time patients. New patients still begin with an in-person consultation so we can evaluate the smile and bite properly from the start.

Our Technology
iTero Scans
iTero Scans
iTero scans create detailed digital impressions without the mess of traditional molds. They help us evaluate the teeth more comfortably, show patients a clearer view of their smile, and support more precise planning for Invisalign® and other orthodontic treatment.
CBCT Scans
CBCT Scans
CBCT scans provide a detailed 3D view of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This gives us a deeper understanding of bite relationships, tooth position, and development, which is especially helpful when treatment planning needs to be more comprehensive or closely guided.Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-Rays
Panoramic X-rays capture a broad view of the teeth, jaws, and supporting structures in a single image. They help us assess overall dental development, identify underlying concerns, and build a treatment plan with a clearer picture of the smile as a whole.Cephalometric X-Rays
Cephalometric X-Rays
Cephalometric X-rays show the relationship between the teeth, jaw, and facial profile from the side. They are especially useful in orthodontics because they help us evaluate growth, bite alignment, and the way treatment may affect both function and facial balance.Start Your Journey
