Dr Carter was willing to work with us and try to fix my daughter's teeth without removing any of them - as had been recommended by other opinions. He used palate stretchers, headgear, and much patience, but the end result was a beautiful smile and great bite. When others recommended doing surgery on her upper palate due to tooth crowding, he used patience and alternative methods to achieve the same result. I love his work! He also treated my two other children - one with braces and one with various appliances starting at age 7 so no braces were needed!
