I wanted to cry it looked so good!! I'm so happy I'm not gap toothed anymore and can smile normal, for now, until I get the cleaning! Haha thank you guys so much!!! 💓"

"This is my first time getting braces, it was a very fast process and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Ms. Addie is a awesome orthodontist specialist she explains and breaks down information that will help me understand why I need what I need but she told me it was up to me if I want to do it or not she never made me get nothing done that I don’t want to get but encourage me to get it done soo the process of my movement in my teeth will be better it will be more push back. I always came out very happy.."

"Dr. Trev is amazing! He came in and gave me a new plan to get my braces off. I an so glad he joined the team at Charleston Ortho."
"Charleston Orthodontic Specialists made me feel comfortable being an adult with first time braces; they were thuro educated and answered all of my questions and I walked out happy with my new braces and proud to be on my way to a new smile with a great team."
"I had braces at a different orthodontics office but when they wouldn’t fix my permanent retainer for free after only 5 months of having it put on I refused to pay them to fix it or pay them to remove it. I decided to go get another opinion at Charleston Orthodontic and after looking at it they could see that the error was definitely not me but how it was put on. They evidently can tell by the way in which the glue has come off. They felt it best to remove it and start over with a new one and charged me $200 which would normally cost a lot more and it’s warranted for a year! I think my ortho charges $250 just to remove it and then the charge of a new one over $500 and has absolutely no warranty. No matter what the cause it’s your expense. I will definitely be referring others to them. And the staff was very friendly."
"I am so happy about my braces I can’t wait too se the finish process so I can get my teeth whiting. They were all so nice in there."
"Soon as you walk in the energy is amazing. I went in kind of nervous because it’s been a while for me personally and this is the first time I’ve ever gotten braces but the team makes you feel so comfortable. Everybody is super sweet, and the area is well cleaned. I am very excited to call this my orthodontist home for the next 18 months. P.S I’m coming all the way from the beach for this, & I don’t regret the drive!"

"They were very fast and professional and I highly recommend anyone to go there for braces."
"I have had the best experience with Charleston Orthodontist Specialist. They are very professional and all the staff is very friendly. The service is amazing and they get you in and out in a timely manner. My experience with my braces is simply the best. I would recommend them to anyone."
"This was a place that was recommended highly to me and I can see why. From the initial call to my present scheduled visits, I have been treated like a valued customer. Those that have braces understand that at times it can be a painful process or can create different types of uncomfortable situations. Through my experience, the staff has been patient, kind, knowledgeable, and at times way more accommodating than expected. I am pleased with my decision and I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone with orthodontic needs in the Tri-county area .Update: 7/17/21 The staff has gotten better than the initial AWESOME rating ghat I gave them 8 months ago. From check in to service. It has been a truly pleasure to work with this group of individuals. They make the process smooth and very informative and they are sensitive to the customers needs and are accommodating even when emergencies arise. I can truly say that I made the BEST choice in selecting them as my orthodontist and I give an A++++++++ rating to this entire Corp of individuals."

Enter to win free braces on their Facebook!"

"I started my journey in November 2019. By my first appointment they put in my spacers, two weeks later my expander, three months later my braces, and now i have both top and bottoms braces. All this progess in a year. I just have to say the place is beautiful and the staff is super nice!"

"Today I brought my daughter in to finally get her braces put on. Wow! How things have changed since I was a kid. The girls in the office were so nice, professional, friendly and knowledgeable about every step of the process. They really made us feel comfortable and at home. The office was impeccably clean and inviting. Nothing like my scary experience as a scared goofy teenager 30 yrs ago. Anyone on the fence about braces should absolutely give Charleston Orthodontic Specialists a try. I highly doubt they’d be disappointed. Thanks guys. We’ll see you in 3 months!"
"The Staff and Dr. Was very friendly. Clean and neat business. They made me feel relaxed like I was home. They are the greatest. I recommend them if you ever need braces."
"This place is awesome. I brought my daughter in for a consultation today, and Leslie was so great. She ended up letting us get braces put on today since we drove so far. We came from Myrtle Beach and it was definitely worth the drive. I’d recommend everyone I know to come here. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Thanks so much Leslie, we’re gonna request you for every visit."
"First and foremost my daughter put in the wrong location, while my wife was driving. Long story short they ended up at C.O.S. In Summerville, instead of the Mount Pleasant office.Which was most likely a great thing, because our daughter felt more comfortable and around down to earth people. Addie was fantastic and made our daughter feel more comfortable. The front office went, sorry do not remember the names. They were very understanding that my wife and daughter drove 2 hours and ended up at wrong location, but the staff went above and beyond to make sure our daughters braces were put on, even though they went to the wrong office and did not have an appointment.Thank you all very much,The Vecoli’s"
"I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my braces! I wish I remembered everyone by name who helped me. I think it was Shelby today. Staff is always amazing and in a good cheerful mood☺️! They greet you with a smile and explain everything as they go. I would definitely recommend them!!"

Our 17 yr. old has had the best experience so far. We really look forward to having the other 2 kids seen in the near future. The staff is very polite, very thorough, gentle, and very informative. We definitely recommend Charleston Orthodontics for anyone looking to have braces. They also offer Invisalign."

"Super Friendly! Amazing staff! Gave me a lot of information for my first visit! I’m super excited for my braces journey!"
"Thank you so much Dr. Savastano and staff for giving me a perfect smile. Wow. I had braces about 10 years ago to correct an anterior open bite. Although it was corrected and I was compliant, my bite still relapsed and my former Orthodontist left me without any further options. When I came in for a consultation, Dr. S immediately gave me several different options and potential solutions for my problems. He is a very bright, personable, helpful, and innovative doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone (including but not limited to two of my coworkers who have also been treated and love their results). If you are looking to better your smile and health, please look no further than the professionals at COS! You will not regret it!!"

COS has the most intelligent, helpful, and friendliest staff I have encountered. Being able to afford one child is hard enough, so me having two in braces at the same time, speaks for itself."

"This place is amazing! When I saw it from the outside I was a little skeptical and not sure about it, but then I walked in and it blew my mind. They had a nice sitting area and a place for the kids to place with a touch screen table. As a mom this made it so much easier to distract my little one and husband with. When I went back with the Nicole (i believe her name was) she went over everything with me before seeing the doctor. She was so nice and went through all the options with me so when I walking talk to the Orthodontist I knew what to expect. Then when he cam in it was amazing and they acknowledged my groupon. I was initially going in for a consultation/invisalign and explaining my situation to them I went with braces and they TOOK MY GROUP THAT WAS FOR invisalign!! WOW JUST WOW!! They made a payment arrangement I can handle! Thank you! I cannot wait to o see my teeth afterwards."
