Great experience at Carolina Braces! The staff is friendly, professional, and made every visit easy and comfortable. I’m very happy with my daughter results and highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent orthodontic care.
krys L.
I called a few days ago to reschedule my appointment in which I was able to come a week early. The receptionist is always polite over the phone and every visit. Jordyn is very sweet and this is my second time going to her. I got to see Emma and she’s very nice. Both are extremely knowledgeable and answer all questions. It’s like a breath of fresh air when I come to Carolina Braces. Everybody is so warm and welcoming!
Jer H.
Dr Kent and his team give amazing service every visit. I just reached my 1 year mark and I couldn’t be any happier with my experience so far. I also love the office environment, it includes an aquarium and live jellyfish, a theater room, games, refreshments and more. 10/10 recommend!
Brooke S.

I had a really good experience at Carolina Braces! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions, which helped me feel less nervous about getting braces. The office was clean, organized, and appointments were quick and efficient.

Absolutely Love this office!!! The ambiance is awesome! The customer service is exceptional! I definitely made the best decision choosing Carolina Braces! If you’re pondering which orthodontist to use, look no further! This is definitely it!
A M.
We had an outstanding experience with Dr. Kent and his entire team. From the moment we walked in, everyone was kind, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Kent took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answered all of our questions with patience, and made what could have been a very overwhelming appointment feel calm and reassuring. He never rushed us and made sure we understood the findings and the plan moving forward. His knowledge, compassion, and thoughtful approach gave us tremendous peace of mind. His support staff was equally wonderful—friendly, caring, and attentive throughout the visit. I am so grateful for the exceptional care my son received regarding our airway and jaw concerns and I highly recommend Dr. Kent and his team.
Robyn W.
I had a great experience at Carolina Braces today! Aliyah was amazing from start to finish. I got checked in, sat down for maybe two minutes, and she was already coming to get me. I was very indecisive about what color I wanted for my braces, but Aliyah took the time to help me choose. In the end, I absolutely LOVE the color we picked, so thank you, Ms. Aliyah! The doctor and Aliyah both made me feel comfortable asking questions and sharing my preferences. They listened to what I wanted while also educating me on what would be best for my treatment. They truly made me feel heard and involved in the process. One thing I always look forward to is flossing during my visits, and Aliyah was so patient with me. She let me take my time and never made me feel rushed, even though I know they have many patients to see throughout the day. Thank you so much, Aliyah, for your kindness, patience, and excellent care. You made this visit a wonderful experience!
Davis R.

Blazian K.
“I had a great experience at this orthodontic office. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and attentive from the moment you walk in. The office is clean, organized, and appointments are efficient with little to no wait time. The orthodontist takes the time to explain treatment options and answer any questions, which makes the entire process feel comfortable and stress-free. I truly appreciate the level of care and customer service I’ve received and would highly recommend this office to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.
Svetlana D.
It was my 2nd round of wearing braces and both times I chose to go through this process with Dr. Kent and his team. Dr. Kent gave me a beautiful smile 9 years ago that lasted for many years until I made a mistake of wearing a retainer that I accidentally banded. I’m really glad that Dr. Kent and his team continue helping their patients like myself to achieve the smile that makes them proud and gives great sense of confidence. Dr. Kent has a fantastic team, both at the front and in the back of the office. Lacey (apologies if I misspelled the name) took charge during my first appointment when my braces were put on. She took time making me feel comfortable and made a great suggestion for the color of the bands (pearl) that I kept on wearing throughout my journey this time. Emily went above and beyond to ensure that all of the final appointments right before my wedding were scheduled to accommodate my busy schedule. Jose played a very important role in helping me to create a step by step plan of all upcoming final treatments starting from removing my braces to the building a final permanent retainer. My case was a complex one because we had to add dental work in addition to the orthodontic care, and Jose wrote down everything for me and talked to me about every step to ensure that everything was taken into consideration. He also removed my braces and used a technique that really helped to minimize discomfort for my teeth. Dr. Kent is caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. To ensure that my permanent retainer doesn’t interfere with the upcoming dental work, he offered to do a temporary retainer first and build a final permanent retainer after my dental appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Kent and his practice for everyone looking not only for a bright smile but for a confidence boost ahead!
