We found some old walkie talkies that hadn’t been used in over 7 years (yikes) 🤣

Of course we had to put them to use 😅

Maryam G.
My son got his braces a few months ago at Carolina Braces, and we’ve had a great experience. The team is always kind and professional.

Last Sunday, one of his wires came out and he was in pain. Even though it was rainy and the office was closed, Dr. Kent came in on his day off to fix it so my son wouldn’t have to wait until Monday. That truly meant a lot to us and shows how much he cares about his patients.

We highly recommend Carolina Braces and definitely Dr. Kent!
Tanya Y.
Dr Kent, Emma and the whole staff were absolutely amazing. 100000/10. So glad my daughter told me about them.
Britt W.
Dr Hamilton, Dr Tagerman awesome providers really appreciate you! Jordan thank so much for walking me through everything and Emma thanks for my goodie bag! All of the staff were warm and friendly-Thanks so much !

Lisa M.
I cannot say enough good things about Carolina Braces! They truly care about their patients. My son got braces with them recently, and he is already seeing a huge result in his smile! The staff is friendly and supportive with my son. Dr. Kent and Dr. Tagerman are so knowledgeable and answer all questions my son and I have asked at each appointment. Highly recommended!!!
Brianna A.

Jennifer V.
Excellent orthodontic care! And it’s only the beginning. The staff is welcoming, appointments run on time, and the doctor is very knowledgeable. Such a gentle and professional TEAM! The office is clean, welcoming, and even offers coffee, which is such a nice touch, let’s not forget the theater room. Great for anyone that has little ones. So excited for my journey and see my final results. Highly recommend!
zja G.
Giving 5 stars as everything was the facility presentation to the staff was amazing. Easy process and was able to get my braces next day after the consult. Dr. Kent is friendly and personable I’d recommend this location.
Jasmine V.
Dr. Kent goes above and beyond for his patients to make sure they have the best care and treatment. I’m going through my second round of braces due to not wearing my retainer at night and did not hesitate to go back to his office for treatment. Highly recommend. Great team all around!
Shavonte F.
I decided at the age of 40 to finally improve my smile and the awesome doctors and staff at Carolina Braces gave me the confidence this could be done. They looked at my situation (impacted canines), gave me hope, and set on their mission to successfully "unrag my mouth." My experience has been comfortable, professional, and genuinely a breeze so far. Five out of five stars…they are working mouth miracles!
Dwayne Y.
Always a 5Star experience with Dr.Kent and the practice!
