About Charleston Orthodontics - Mt Pleasant
Adults weighing Invisalign find a practice where Dr. Michael Lee is described as thorough without pushing unnecessary treatment.
Reviews here lean more toward Invisalign and adult patients than is typical for an orthodontic practice, alongside the usual braces and retainer work. Staff are described as remembering patients by name and even watching a toddler sibling during an appointment, and Dr. Lee is repeatedly credited with explaining options clearly and not overselling treatment. A handful of reviews mention payment options that made braces more affordable than expected, and several parents note nervous kids being put at ease during visits.

My experience with Charleston Orthodontics was great! I got my appointment very quickly and my transition from my previous ortho to them was very smooth and hassle free. The staff was very friendly and professional, the payment process was super easy (& much less than I expected), & swapping my braces out went by extremely fast. Every appointment was a breeze & truly enjoyed the staff! I am now completed my treatment and I am more than satisfied with my results! Highly recommend

Always pleasant when my daughter and I would had appointments together. Now that my daughter and I are in retainers, they make sure to schedule us in a timely manner if we are in need of something. The staff are always pleasant, always remember who you are, friendly and Dr.Lee is amazing and very informative.

My interaction with Charleston Orthopedics has gone better than expected. I’m only wearing the invisoline for several days now, but all my interactions have been handled in a very professional manner.
