Carolina Orthodontic Solutions

I really wish I could give them zero stars, but I guess the 1 star is for them being nice people, but the service is beyond horrible - borderline fraud. My daughter has had her braces on for over 2 years now and nothing has even really started to happen yet. Her cap has come off 2 times now and her wires pop between just about every tightening. Not only are the braces horrible, but scheduling appointments is too even when my daughter is in pain with swollen gums from popped wires and moving caps. When you come for your appointment you wait 1.5hrs for 5-15mins of work. They will have people waiting for a 9am appointment and the orthodontist won’t come in until after 10am. Just horrible. I would NEVER recommend them!! Go ANYWHERE else!

the WORST orthodontist to ever go to. they NEVER call back. my gums are so swollen and we have called them 3 times in 1 week and still no answer. update i now have a hole in my gum , my spacer is broken. they refuse to call back STILL.

Dr. Blakey is nice, but the whole business is out of order. Making appointments are the worst, only open on Wednesday’s and you can only get an appointment once every 3-4 months. I’ve had braces since i was 13, I’m now going on 20 with nothing wrong with my teeth but a spacing that can be clearly fixed with a chain. Dr. Blakey doesn’t even give you details on what needs to be done. He just sends his assistants in and leaves. And i never had jaw problems but now i do. Ms. Linda or whoever she is, is terrible. She’s rude and very unprofessional. She actually got in my face trying to fuss me out for just asking if i could get an appointment to get my braces taken off. Getting Invisalign's once i get the braces off since no other orthodontist wants to mess over bethels work. I feel as though they just care about the money not the actual happiness and concern of their patients. If i could rate them a zero i definitely would, no hesitation.

The staff is very friendly and helpful with my son. We followed Dr Blakley orders to have 4 teeth remove and everything came together perfectly.. Highly recommended.. MB

The staff at Carolina Orthodontics were wonderful, very welcoming and always smiling. I was pleased with how my treatment was going until Dr. Blakely told me I was going to need my left and right 1st maxillary bicuspids extracted. I had a pallet expander at the time, so I was confused as to why I needed teeth removed when we were in the process of expanding. My teeth weren't crowded, I actually had a small gap between my two front teeth. But I was assured that I needed this done. I went through with the extractions and now I'm paying an even higher price than I did for the braces. My teeth are straight, but they slant inwards. My jaw hurts and often pops out of place, which hurts even more. I am now trying Invisalign under a different orthodontist to hopefully fix the damage that Dr. Blakely has done.
