Carr Orthodontics is known for its patient-focused approach, utilizing advanced 3D technologies to customize treatment plans and ensure exceptional orthodontic experiences and results.

Absolutely love Dr. Carr and all of his staff! He is thorough, friendly, and always on time. The same can be said about all his lovely staff. My oldest son had braces and we were so pleased with his teeth and our experience with Dr.

Carr that I decided to do Invisalign through him. One year later and my teeth look beautiful. One more son to get through braces and, of course, we will be back with Dr. Carr!

Dr. Carr is a fantastic orthodontist! He is very thorough, friendly, dependable and knows what he is doing! He and his staff made my son feel at ease and were very loving and patient. They explained everything in a way that we understood and provided several scans to keep us updated with how his teeth were improving.

My son’s teeth look incredible! We owe that to Dr. Carr and his amazing staff! We highly recommend them for any orthodontic work.

I wanted braces all my life, but didn't know whether an orthodontist would be able to fix my smile without having to pull out several teeth. Dr. Carr took my challenging case on without hesitation, and over the course of two years, him and his team provided excellent service and gave me a smile that I'm proud of! They worked with me to develop a treatment plan that worked within my preferences and timeline before I graduated, and were flexible to provide long-distance care even during periods of time when I would not be in town to attend in person check ins.

Everyone in the office is kind, efficient, and great at what they do. Can't recommend enough!
