Cox Orthodontics

Cox Orthodontics is a prominent orthodontic clinic serving the Lowcountry region of South Carolina, with a strong presence in various communities including Summerville (specifically the Knightsville location), Goose Creek, North Charleston, Carnes/Cane Bay, and Walterboro. The practice is led by Dr. Michael Cox, a Board-certified orthodontist with over two decades of experience in improving smiles. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University and earned his Masters Degree in Orthodontics from St. Louis University. The clinic offers a comprehensive array of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. Their treatment options are designed to address various orthodontic needs, ranging from common issues like crowding and bite misalignments to more complex cases. Key services include: Traditional Metal braces: Modern, smaller, and more comfortable metal braces made of durable stainless steel. Clear Braces (Ice Brackets): Transparent brackets that offer a discreet alternative to metal braces, providing similar effectiveness with a less noticeable appearance. Invisalign clear aligners: A popular choice for patients seeking a virtually invisible way to straighten their teeth using a series of removable, custom-made aligners. Cox Orthodontics is noted for utilizing advanced computer technology, including digital imaging and high-tech computer graphics, to enhance treatment planning and outcomes for all brace types. Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs): Small titanium anchors used to guide teeth with greater precision, making orthodontic treatment more effective and potentially faster for difficult-to-shift teeth. Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery): For severe jaw misalignments that cannot be corrected with orthodontics alone, Dr. Cox collaborates with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to improve jaw function and facial symmetry. Gum Recontouring: A procedure to reshape gum tissue, often used to balance a smile or as a finishing touch to orthodontic treatment. Cox Orthodontics prides itself on creating a fun-loving, nurturing, and comfortable office environment. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the friendly and caring nature of Dr. Cox and his team, emphasizing their patience, clear explanations, and dedication to patient comfort. They offer free initial consultations to discuss treatment options and create personalized plans. The practice also emphasizes the importance of continued regular dental visits during orthodontic treatment to maintain overall oral health.
