With more than 150 years of combined orthodontic experience, The Smile Makers at Coastal Carolina Orthodontics is the most popular and trusted source for orthodontics care in Jacksonville, Morehead City, and Havelock, NC. Our team of Board Certified orthodontists offers a range of orthodontic treatments to meet the needs of every patient. Our doctors are experts in utilizing Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, and the SPEED System to provide the orthodontic solution that is right for you. As American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) Board Certified specialists, our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to providing each patient with the individualized and comprehensive treatment they deserve.
For over fifty years, our team has provided the highest quality care. We are the longest running orthodontic practice in Eastern North Carolina, and we owe this longevity to having a patient-centered practice, where we treat the individual and focus on the quality, not the quantity, of our results.
It isnt just the longevity of our team that sets us ahead of the competition; we are also the only group orthodontic practice in the region. By having multiple orthodontists diagnose and treat our patients, we can provide the highest quality of care, much like you would find working with a team at a major medical center.
All of our doctors have achieved Board Certification with the American Board of Orthodontics. Being Board Certified means our doctors have demonstrated the ability to diagnose and treat the most challenging orthodontic problems, and achieve beautiful and functional results! This certification is attained by only a fraction of orthodontists in the country, and we are the only Board Certified Orthodontists in the area. Choose to be treated by the best!
To become ABO certified, orthodontists must earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD). They then complete a two to three-year residency program before undergoing hundreds of additional hours of training and examination to sharpen their skills, knowledge, and patient care tactics. Fewer than 30% of all orthodontists in the country are Board Certified.

Nice space, nice people, nice experience. We were just there for a consultation for my 9 year-old. They didn't rush us into anything and we'll definitely go back for further monitoring.

We were on vacation and my daughter's bracket fell off leaving a wire poking her gums. They kindly worked us in the same day and had my daughter feeling more comfortable and able to enjoy the rest of our week at the beach.

Everyone there is very polite, very nice, very sweet, bend over backwards to help you out. I came in without an appointment and he got me in right away. I got my braces off three years ago and the wire behind the teeth came loose and I got it fixed it right away. Thank you

This office is beautiful. The staff are great at keeping it clutter free and clean. Dr Walker has a very nice bedside manner and I'm glad to take my son here. Monique the office manager does a great job every time I see her. She is friendly and is always dressed professionally and shares a beautiful smile. Good job there, who ever hired her, she is great advertising as the welcoming face into the office.

I had a great experience getting my braces today. Dr. Walker and Courtney were very friendly, professional and gentle. All of the staff made me feel so comfortable. They even said I looked "cute" which means a lot to a 57 year old. I've been wanting to get braces for years and I'm so glad I did! Thank you, Smile Makers!

This is my first visit, and what a great visit it was. Everything was clearly explained. I knew my pricing upfront and had a full plan put in front of me before we made the decision to get my son's braces done. Smile makers respected my time and treated us like members of their family. I can't see enough of what a pleasant experience this was.

My son had braces put on by Dr. Walker and team, and they were kind, clean, friendly, and following COVID safety measures carefully. They took time to ensure both myself and my son understood how to care for his teeth with braces and the new tools in his dental hygiene routine, and they made this big rite of passage a pleasant and exciting experience. They make the process very easy, and as a busy mom, I appreciate that!
