High Tide
Orthodontics is a modern
Orthodontic clinic located in Mt. Pleasant, SC, founded and led by
Dr. Trevan Samp, a board-certified orthodontist. The practice is known for its commitment to using state-of-the-art technology and providing personalized care to patients of all ages. Dr. Samp and his team offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic services, including traditional metal
Braces, self-ligating braces (such as Pitts 21), and various clear aligner therapies. They are particularly experienced in complex
Invisalign cases and also offer Spark, a newer clear aligner alternative.
A key aspect of their approach is the use of advanced technology to enhance the patient experience and treatment outcomes. They utilize an iTero 3D scanner for digital impressions, eliminating the need for uncomfortable traditional molds. They also employ the i-CAT FLX Cone Beam
3D imaging System, a low-radiation 3D X-ray that allows for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, including for airway assessments and TMJ issues. The clinic is equipped with an in-house 3D printer, enabling them to fabricate same-day plastic retainers and even custom, in-house aligners.
High Tide Orthodontics takes a patient-focused approach, treating each individual like family. Dr. Samp is involved in every appointment, ensuring high-quality and compassionate service. The practice specializes in early, interceptive orthodontic treatment for kids (Phase 1), which can help correct jaw imbalances and breathing issues, as well as comprehensive treatment for teens and adults (Phase 2). They also work with a multidisciplinary team for surgical orthodontics when needed. High Tide Orthodontics has been recognized in the local community, winning a "Best Of" award shortly after opening, and is actively involved in supporting local schools and sports teams.
