Anetra W.
I got my braces off on Friday, November 22, 2024. I’ve had my braces with COS for five years now and never once had an issue with any of the staff. I never had a broken bracket or... wire (even when eating everything like normal 🫢). I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist. Thank you so much to everyone at the Summerville office. 😁read more

Dr. Patel and the entire staff at Charleston Orthodontics are terrific! I was soooo afraid of what to expect when I went there two and a half years ago, but they put me at ease... right away.

Carol G.
Our orthodontics experience was excellent for our daughter! Every visit was smooth and the staff always went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. On one occasion, a piece... of metal came loose, but the team was incredibly accommodating, providing immediate support to address the issue without any stress. At the end of our treatment, we chose to add insurance for the retainers, which we felt was the best value. We wholeheartedly recommend this practice for anyone in need of orthodontic care!read more
