After I completed my braces time with State College Orthodontics, I went back because I was having some problems with my retainers. They answered all my questions and provided me with a new set of retainers that better fit my needs. All around it was a fantastic experience! I'd specifically like to thank Dr. Ray and Chelsea, the technician who helped me!

Excellent care! And Shout out to Chelsea! Our sons expander came out Sunday evening before a holiday - and she came in to the office to fix it for us!

Dr Ray and her team are lovely! I went as an adult for Invisalign to fix my bite, and they were non judgmental with zero pressure to do Invisalign, and checked with my insurance as well to see what the benefits are. It does take a while to get in for the first visit, but I respect that they aren’t overloading themselves with new patients which would make it harder for existing ones to be seen. The staff are lovely, waiting room clean and kid friendly, and the technology for Invisalign is great. I don’t hesitate recommending SCO for orthodontic care!!

Meet Dr. Diane Ray
After I graduated from Penn State with a B.S. with honors in Biology, I attended Temple University School of Dentistry where I received my D.M.D. During my second year of dental school, I realized what a great fit the specialty of Orthodontics was for me. From the principles of growth and development and the biology of tooth movement to the clinical applications of improving someone’s bite, it provided the perfect balance for my scientific curiosity and desire to help and care for people.
At the completion of dental school, I attended the University of Maryland Dental School for a three year post-graduate dental residency in Orthodontics. While in residency, I had the opportunity to participate in craniofacial genetic research at the Johns Hopkins Hospital Center for Craniofacial Disease and Disorders. In addition to earning a certificate in Orthodontics, I also received a Masters of Science in Oral Biology.
I was blessed to meet my husband, Steve, during my residency. We have two beautiful children and enjoy living in State College.
Accompanied by a fabulous team, I am happy to be part of a warm and friendly environment at State College Orthodontics. Together, we strive to create a positive atmosphere for each other and the people we serve.
Being a solo practitioner has allowed me to balance my commitments to my family and my patients to the best of my ability. I truly love what I do. Both personally and professionally, I try to be a positive influence in the lives of others.
