After meeting with a few other orthodontists in the area, we were told about Dr. Carter. We met with him for an initial consult for my 10 year old daughter and I was blown away from the minute we walked in the door. The front office staff is incredible, friendly, and speedy. The waiting room is extremely kid friendly with video games to play, and a disney movie or other cartoon playing as well. After xrays and an initial consult, Dr. Carter met with me and my daughter to explain her specific situation and his feelings about the appropriate way to treat her at such a young age. I appreciate his approach, knowledge, and honesty as well as the fact that my daughter loved him! She wasn't scared at all and he has a great personality for dealing with kids. I was also extremely impressed with his price as well as his no interest payment plans...I didn't find that anywhere else! I have referred all of my friends to him and will continue to do so. Thanks Dr. Carter and staff!

Dr. Carter is really good for braces, i highly recommend him! I am constantly getting nothing but compliments off of my teeth and I am happy for what he has done for me. He had a great positive attitude as well as the rest of his staff. I am extremely happy with my teeth and I am glad he has straightened them the way they are!

I was most impressed with Dr. Carter's concern and relationship he has with his patients. He takes the time to know them and make them comfortable. In the consultation visit he went over the entire treatment plan and what would best suit my son's needs and went over cost and made every effort to make it an affordable and not waste any of my time or money, my son's plan was set up into two treatments to catch the growth spurts and use them to aid in the movement of my son's teeth. My baby had horribly crooked teeth and now his smile dazzles everyone.

The proper time to start braces depends on the timing of your child's growth spurts. I do not try to pressure you into getting braces just because you came into my office that day for a complimentary consultation. We start your child's treatment at the right time!

It is comforting to know that Dr. Carter did not take any shortcuts with my braces treatment. I feel that he always had the long range vision in mind rather than attempting to satisfy the fast-paced progress that I may have impulsively wished for at the time.

Thank you very much! We hear this comment about our high quality treatment all the time- that is why so many satisfied patients send in their family members or friends to us. Not all orthodontists are the same. I take the time to explain ALL your options and then give you my personal recommendation for what I know will result in the most beautiful and healthiest smile. Orthodontics is not just about "straightening the six front teeth" as some regular dentists are doing today with a so-called "6 month braces" technique. Instead of a quick fix, I individually tailor your treatment, using the highest quality materials and clinically proven techniques, and do it compassionately; just the way I would want it done on me. Orthodontics is my passion. I NEVER cut corners… I sleep better at night.

Thanks for the kind comments! We try to do the best we can in coordinating dental insurance and payments for orthodontic treatment for our out-of-state BYU students. Occasionally however, snail mail is not as fast as we would like! Go Cougs!

You are very welcome, and thank you for coming to my office for your braces by an orthodontic specialist!! Many people believe it's the braces a doctor uses that makes treatment go fast or not-so-fast. Braces however, are only tiny "handles" we place on the teeth to move the them. It is actually the skill of the orthodontist in combination with the high tech wires I use that makes my treatments progress as fast and safe as they do!

When the treatment is done right and retainers fit properly, your smile will last a lifetime. The way we did it, it will be the last time you need braces!

Doctor Carter was a very nice orthodontist. He really cares about you specifically and gets to know you personally. He has an incentive(prize) program that helps you to keep up on your oral hygiene. He also would go above and beyond just to try and help to get the best smile possible! I would definitally recommend everyone I know to go to Doctor Carter! He made my smile bright, straight, and beautiful! Thanks SO much Dr. Carter! ~Jessica

Talking to the staff everytime I had an appointment was the best part of my checkups. The only disappointment was finishing my 1 year of braces and not seeing them as often.
