The Fun Place for Braces!

Will I Still Be Able to Play Sports

Will I Still Be Able to Play Sports?

Yes, it is advised that patients protect their smiles by wearing a mouth guard when participating in any sports activity. We recommend that patients get their mouthguards from any local sports store. Guards that you can boil and bite seem to work best so they can be adjusted throughout treatment.

Erica M
I had the best consultation that I ever had at this dental office. The staff there were amazing, kind, and very helpful to me . I was greeted with a smile at the door and the women who did my scan was so nice and the other women who does the treatment plan was so kind to me. I want to say when Dr. Kent came in he was the most kind , honest, laid back, orthodontics that I ever met. He was honest and told me that I didn't needed braces and even went as far as to tell me other options to treat my teeth. Most orthodontics would have told me that I needed braces just to get money out of me but Dr. Kent didn't. He even went as far as sending what I needed done to my primary dentist. Dr. Kent did this for me with no cost during this consultation. He really cares about everyone who comes in his office. I love how nice the office is and the cookies were so good and I love the shirt 🙂. Dr.Kent treats everyone like family and when I got there he treated me like family . Thank you so much . I will never forget this consultation . You guys are the best. 💯

A+ customer service. Always able to fit me in for last minute appointments when they’ve come up. I also receive phone calls after each brace retightening to ensure I am OK and everything went well. I am always greeted by name. It’s just great! My daughter is getting her braces here next month, I already have mine and my son is next!
Rachel D.
Laci was so sweet and nice! She took time to answer any questions I had. Definitely a great experience and I will be recommending this office to others!!

I went in for a braces consultation. The receptionist was very welcoming. I was escorted to the back for pictures and x rays. I can remember her name but she was nice as well. After my pictures, I went to Emma (I think that was her name) to discuss the treatment with Dr. Tagerman. Mrs. Jane? She was as excited as I was. The girl who prepped me was very nice and reassured me through preparation I went in with the intentions of just getting a consultation and I walked out with braces! The customer service at Carolina Braces was top tier! Thank you all for everything! I can’t want to see y’all at my next visit!
