Oral Surgery
Jaw Surgery
This term is used to describe orthodontic treatment that is done in conjunction with orthognathic surgery to correct jaw irregularities in non-growing adult patients. On average, jaw growth is completed by age 16 for girls and 18 for boys, but the patient must be finished growing before surgery is possible. During your orthodontic treatment, braces are necessary to position the teeth properly prior to surgery. Once the surgery is completed by an oral surgeon, the bite will be refined, and before you know it you’ll be smilin’ and profilin’ – literally! Your profile will be aligned properly, as will your bite, and you can look forward to a lifetime of function and a fabulous smile.

He then graduated from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry with honors in 1986, was inducted into OKU (national dental honor society) while in dental school, and obtained his certificate of specialization and Master of Science in Orthodontics from the University of Tennessee Memphis College of Dentistry two years later. In 1988, he began private practice here in the Birmingham area and served as adjunct clinical professor at UA School of Dentistry in the Pediatric Dentistry Department, as well as associate staff with Christian Medical Ministry of Alabama. He is married to the lovely Becky and is father to four children. He is a member of Faith Presbyterian Church, enjoys spending time with his family, and of course, he follows Alabama Crimson Tide football. ROLL TIDE!!
Invisalign Orthodontics
“As an adult, I’m not even done with my Invisalign treatment, and I’ve already received several compliments about my smile. Thanks!” — C.B., female, age 54
Braces
The most common type of braces we use are traditional metal and they are more comfortable than ever. Metal brackets are made from cobalt chromium and are bonded directly to the teeth. Patients enjoy having the option of "choosing their colors" (changing the o-rings -tiny round elastics that hold wire in place) to match their mood, football team or favorite holiday!
