How Orthodontic Treatment Can Support Your Child’s Speech Development

Clear communication is one of the most important skills a child develops, and speech plays a central role in school, social settings, and self-confidence. For some children, however, speech challenges are tied to more than just learning language — they can be linked to how the teeth and jaws grow.

Jalisa S.
The best orthodontist in the area the vibes are amazing and would recommend to everyone🤗🥰
janel G.
They treat you like family here. Warm and welcoming.
CJ H.
I refused to go to anyone else. Second time patient 20 years later. Dr. Kent is amazing, to the point that I was going to travel from out of state before I moved back. If you need orthodontic work, this is the place to go.
Naomi B.
Moving to a new state is difficult enough, moving to a new state while having to switch orthodontists in the middle of your braces journey is even more difficult. Thankfully I was able to find the perfect orthodontist office to help make the transition smooth and easy. Carolina Braces has honestly been such a dream team, everyone here is so lovely and friendly. They’re eager and excited for you to join the family and you can see it in their actions and how they treat you. Doctor Tagerman not only fixed my teeth PERFECTLY but educated me along the way. She told me more about my teeth than my old orthodontist, letting me know the many options I had and which was the best choice. She was able to work with my schedule, getting my braces off, looking very beautiful, in time for my senior photos. Special thanks to Emma who helped me out during my last appointment. My teeth would not have looked this good without her kindness and patience. She took the time to listen to my requests and I felt no pain when getting my braces off (my jaw dropped when I found out they were off that easy!). Overall, my experience here was a 10/10 and I could not have asked for anything better! When my bracket fell off, they rushed to give me an appointment as soon as they could so my teeth would not move. Whenever I felt discomfort or my wire poking, they would figure out a solution or cut off the excess. I strongly recommend you coming here if you want an environment where your opinion is valued and you are seen. In addition, the office is gorgeous as well and they played some of my favorite songs while I ate some of the cookies they laid out for clients. So I urge you to make the right choice and come to Carolina Braces today to make your smile shine even brighter!

Orthodontic care for adults as well as kids, customer service is outstanding. Appointments made in advance, good followup, entrance off Sawmill Rd is a side street, check a map or use GPS to find easiest entrance & parking!

N J.
Aaliyah was absolutely amazing! She made getting my braces put on such an easy and comfortable experience. She explained everything clearly, was incredibly patient, and made me feel at ease from start to finish. Her positive attitude and gentle care made what I thought would be a stressful appointment so much better. I'm so thankful for her and highly recommend asking for Aaliyah if you have the chance!
