South Salem orthodontic practice
Smyleee Rating
Very Good
South Salem Orthodontics on Liberty Street Southeast in south-central Salem runs a dedicated orthodontic practice handling braces, Invisalign, and clear-aligner treatment across pediatric and adult patients. The clinic is set up around alignment work specifically rather than as a general-plus-ortho add-on, which means the imaging, treatment planning, and adjustment workflows are oriented entirely around orthodontic cases. The depth suits patients comparing across orthodontic-only practices when picking where to anchor a multi-year case.
The service menu covers traditional metal braces, ceramic braces for adults wanting a less visible option, Invisalign clear-aligner treatment for teens and adults, and post-treatment retainer maintenance to hold results long-term. The practice also handles adult orthodontic cases as a primary patient group rather than treating them as an afterthought to teen work, which matters for adults wanting an experienced clear-aligner-led case rather than a converted-late-to-Invisalign approach.
If you're an adult considering Invisalign for the first time and want a practice that takes adult cases seriously rather than scheduling around the teen calendar, this is the kind of practice to put on the consultation list.
Pricing fits the standard Willamette Valley orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases. Patients searching for orthodontist in Salem, adult orthodontics in Salem, or Invisalign in Salem frequently consult dedicated orthodontic practices like this one when clear-aligner experience specifically matters more than a longstanding traditional-braces tenure. It suits adult Invisalign cases as a primary fit, and works well for teens whose families want a practice comfortable with both fixed and removable appliance approaches rather than defaulting to one or the other. First visits typically include orthodontic imaging, diagnostic records, and a thorough consultation covering treatment options, projected duration, and full cost — particularly important for adult Invisalign cases where timeline expectations need to be set clearly before treatment begins. The Liberty Street Southeast location is convenient for patients across south-central Salem, and the dedicated orthodontic-only positioning tends to suit adult patients who'd rather work with a clear-aligner-experienced practice than a longtime traditional-braces office converting late to Invisalign.

Orthodontic care assesses how the teeth and bite are developing and guides each patient toward the treatment that best fits their goals.
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners — a discreet alternative to braces for adults and teens.
Traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires to correct crowding, gaps, and bite problems across a wide range of cases.

My daughter had her braces removed today after 2yrs, I bit of time to say the least, when we saw her teeth today fornthe first time, a few minutes after her braces were removed, she almost cried and so did I, her teeth look absolutely amazing all due to south Salem orthodontics, Dr Carter and his team killed it, they obviously know what they are doing and it's like magic seriously, she is a beautiful girl already and now shes even more beautiful if that's possible. Anyway, like I said Dr Carter and his team have me at a loss for words despit all this, I couldn't say thank you enough before we left and damn near had tears in my eyes the whole time and I'm sure they noticed. I would recommend SOUTH SALEM ORTHODONTICS to anyone anytime, they were also very nice and positive at all times with my daughter and never once faultered from that, every technician that my daughter saw, she was always kind and courteous to my daughter and was fun with a sense of humor and made every visit like a tiny, calm, peaceful vacation. THANK YOU DR CARTER AND TO YOUR ENTIRE TEAM!
Dr Carter and his wonderful staff have been treating our family for over 7 years. I cannot express how grateful we are for their care and dedication to not only our teeth but our overall health. Dr Carter has been a critical piece of our children’s health journey. He has helped our family achieve goals we weren’t sure were possible and we are so thankful to him and his team. They are generous, kind, patient, thoughtful, and do everything possible to make sure you feel seen.
We’ve had such a great experience at South Salem Orthodontics! The office is bright, clean, and welcoming — it’s the kind of place you actually enjoy going to! The staff is truly the best — super friendly, helpful, and always on top of everything. They make the whole process easy and comfortable, both for the kids and for us as parents. Dr. Carter is amazing. He’s confident, knowledgeable, and you can tell he really knows what he’s doing. He explains everything in a way that makes sense and always takes time to answer questions. We feel really lucky to have him overseeing our kids’ treatment. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an orthodontist.
I can not say enough AMAZING words to sum up my delight in Dr. Carter and his South Salem Orthodontic practice. Dr. Carter is absolutely the BEST orthodontist in Salem! He is kind, gentle & knowledgeable, his staff are sweet and gracious, they all are highly skilled in their profession. Both my children have incredibly beautiful, healthy smiles thanks to Dr. Carter and his team!!!
My 9 year old daughter had a great experience at this clinic. The staff are friendly, patient and thorough with their explanations of the experience with my nervous kiddo. 10/10
