Appointment Cancellation
& No-Show Policy
Each appointment is reserved specifically for you. Thank you for helping us keep time available for every patient who needs care.

Repeated Missed Appointments
Repeated missed appointments may also result in scheduling restrictions.
Thank You for Being Part of the Carter Orthodontics Family!
