They went to Bham Ortho today, and...

My daughter sees Dr. Osborne at PT Ortho in Gardendale. They have payment plans & are very reasonably priced.

Dr. Brooks with Rape and Brooks out in Clay is really good.
Any suggestions for a really good orthodontist in town? Or Pelham? One that's good with kids!

My young daughter had two permanent teeth that were not erupting as they were supposed to. I went to four orthodontists in the area for free consultations. One simply wanted to watch her for a year (no), one wanted to pull some of her baby teeth (no), and one wanted to put braces, a bridge widener, and a reverse headgear on her (um...no!). Dr. Boggan laid out the plan that seemed best to me (simply braces!) and he widened the space and those two teeth came in (would never have otherwise unless we did surgery) She has completed phase one of braces and will go back into them after all her permanent teeth come in. Go get some free consultations and see which plan you like best. But I highly recommend Dr. Boggan at https://www.facebook.com/Orthodontics.South

Dr. Brandon Boggan. I would not go anywhere else. I work in the dental field and that is who we refer to. I also had all three of my teens in braces at the aame time and my 11 year old had to have braces as well.

We used Boggan for 1 and Birmingham Orthodontics for the next 2. Very pleased with both. However, I would recommend Bham Ortho. (1)Price is tailored to the treatment plan, so they are much more affordable. (2) Boggan sees patients every 30 days. Bham Ortho roughly every 45. So over a 2 year treatment plan, you will save quite a few trips. (3) Bham Ortho does a really nice job in scheduling appointments so that you have very little wait time if any. Most of the time, we sign in and immediately are called in. With Boggan it wasn't unusual for us to wait 30-45 minutes for an afternoon appt.

We never had to wait with Dr.Boggan. I will say that you should visit several and talk to them. See who you would feel most comfortable with because you will spend a lot of time there.
Kathryn B. replied:
Love Birmingham Orthodontics. We used one of the others mentioned on my other child and wasnt as impressed and paid more. Our current child in braces is at Birmingham Ortho and we have had a wonderful experience and are seeing great results! Love the staff.
Laura M. replied:
Edwards Orthodontist at the Narrows on 280. Straight shot down Hwy 11 Just 30 min max away but worth it, Small office. Usually in and out pretty fast. Great experience and they have payment plans.
Robin R. replied:
Carol Harper Williams is right... Visit several and get to know what their style is. That is how I chose Dr. Wolfe. Never a wait with her either and love, love, love her staff.
Robin R. replied:
Also agree with Laura. One of our daughters also went to another mentioned here. Overpriced and same results on other of our kids for Bham Ortho. On a side I say I love Dr. Wolfe, but my husband and 3 of our kids went to bham Ortho with good results. I was a very complicated case and just felt more comfortable with Dr. Wolfe and her plans (she gave me three options for how we fixed me).
Hannah S. replied:
Dr. Boggan! For sure. Staff is super friendly and amazing and they have a great play area for the kids.

We use Birmingham Orthodontics in Alabaster. My daughter has been very happy with the doctors and staff, the appointments have always run on time with very little wait time, and the payment plan is affordable.

We used Dr Penfield for both of our boys. I was very pleased with the outcome as well as the price. Small office in Alabaster, love the staff as well as Dr Penfield!
Amy T. replied:
Dr Denny at Oak Mtn Ortho in Helena is great!! Before picking her we had three different dentists tell us they could NOT recommend Boggin but could not give details. That was all I needed to hear.
Ok locals... I need a good recommendation for a great yet affordable orthodontist. Comments and recommendations please.

Jana Roberts at Greystone orthodontics. Her office is fairly close to your job, just past the rave in greystone. The office staff is really friendly and she's very accommodating

We just consulted with Bham Ortho by Edgar's and were very pleased . Using them!

Dr Denny by Riverchase is great! Super nice, will work with you any way on money and does a great job!
Elaine M. replied:
We use PT Ortho. Friendly staff, financing options, and most importantly not aggressive. They've been seeing Haleigh for 2 years for supervision appointments & I have never once felt pressured to begin treatment.
Tammy C. replied:
We have had a consultation with Bham Orthdontics in Alabaster. Staff was friendly. Didn't have to wait long. And I believe they had financing options.
Debbie C. replied:
We used Birmingham Ortho for Sydney. They were great! She got her braces off early and they refunded the remaining amount. Which I thought was great!
Any recommendations for a good orthodontist in the Pelham area for my 8 year old?

OrthoSouth - Dr. Brandon Boggan
Michel C. replied:
Chantel I would highly recommend the same orthodontist that Olivia is using. They are a husband-and-wife team and are amazing. The name of the practice is Canales Orthodontics and they are actually in alabaster but they are right next to Panera's off the alabaster exit. The wife's name is Angie and the husbands name is Chris. It looks like Laney will be getting prices from them also.
