For more than 75 years, Hull & Coleman Orthodontics has been a trusted name in Charlotte, serving generations of families with a commitment to quality, integrity, and results. Since opening our doors in 1950, our practice has built a legacy rooted in personalized care and long-term relationships within the community, and today, that legacy continues to grow.
Recently recognized as a 2025 Best Orthodontic Provider in Charlotte, our practice stands as a reflection of decades of trust, proven outcomes, and patient-first care. Many of todayβs patients are children and even grandchildren of former patients, an enduring testament to the relationships built over time.
How a Charlotte Orthodontic Practice Lasts 75+ Years
Longevity in orthodontics is earned through consistency, trust, and a commitment to evolving with the field. Hull & Coleman Orthodontics was founded by Dr. P.C. Hull, who established a strong foundation of clinical excellence and patient-centered care. Over the decades, the practice has grown into a multi-generational legacy, with leadership passed down and expanded through continued expertise and innovation.
What has remained constant, however, is a focus on:
- Delivering consistent, high-quality results
- Building long-term relationships with families
- Adapting to advancements in orthodontic technology
This balance of tradition and innovation is what has allowed Hull & Coleman Orthodontics to thrive for more than seven decades.
Generations of Charlotte Families Trust Hull & Coleman
One of the most meaningful indicators of trust is when patients return for both themselves and their children. We often see parents who had braces years ago now bringing in their kids for treatment. These multi-generational relationships reflect a level of confidence that canβt be replicated by large, corporate orthodontic chains.
As a family-owned private practice, we offer something different:
- Deep roots in the Charlotte community
- Highly personalized care
- A long-standing reputation built through word-of-mouth
This connection to the community continues to set Hull & Coleman apart.
What Has Changed in Orthodontics Over 75 Years?
Orthodontics has evolved significantly, and Hull & Coleman has evolved with it. While traditional braces were once the standard, todayβs patients benefit from advanced technologies that improve comfort, efficiency, and precision.
Modern advancements include:
- LightForce custom braces designed for personalized tooth movement
- Alternatives to braces, like removable clear aligners
- Digital scanning technology that replaces messy impressions
- Advanced treatment planning for more predictable outcomes
Whether patients choose braces or clear aligners, they can expect care that reflects the latest in orthodontic innovation while still grounded in decades of experience.
Why Experience Still Matters in Orthodontic Treatment
In orthodontics, experience plays a critical role in both outcomes and efficiency. At Hull & Coleman, all of our doctors are board-certified orthodontists who bring a high level of training and expertise to every case.
This level of qualification ensures:
- Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
- Expertise in handling complex cases
- More predictable and efficient treatment timelines
Patients also benefit from continuity of care; youβll see the same doctor throughout your entire treatment. This consistency allows for better communication, stronger relationships, and more personalized results.
