I’ve been going to them since March and must say I’ve always left satisfied.

Brittney R.
I did a total of three consultations for my Invisalign treatment and decided to go with Charleston Orthodontics. I am on week 12 and can not only see the difference, but I feel so much more comfortable, as well. Dr. Patel also will ensure your treatment plan is high quality and right for you, which I appreciated! I’d highly recommend coming here for your orthodontic needs. I included a picture from around week 9/10 of my treatment.
