About Carter Orthodontics
Dr. David Carter, who took over the practice his father started, is noted for early phase-one evaluations and for designing custom devices for jaw and sleep-related issues.
Carter Orthodontics has treated generations of Augusta families, with long-time patients now bringing their own children back to Dr. David Carter. Reviews point to his personal involvement in explaining each phase of treatment and to early, phase-one evaluations for younger kids more than at a typical practice. The office is described as clean and equipped with modern scanning technology used during consultations. A number of reviews also mention the Forever Aligned membership plan and recurring retainer costs as a point of friction.
