Birmingham Orthodontic Specialty
Our mission has remained unchanged since first opening our doors-to provide affordable orthodontic treatment while never sacrificing quality. We believe that anyone who comes in-patients and parents-should leave our office with a smile. One visit and you'll quickly see how serious we are about this mission-working every day to fulfill it through expertise and passion, and doing it all with smiles on our faces, too.

During your free consultation, our team will outline the total cost of treatment and guide you through financial options. Whether or not you have insurance, we've got you covered. And we make the process straightforward so you can make the best decision for you and your family.
Services
To understand how Birmingham Orthodontics became what it is today- a multi-doctor practice with 60 employees spread across 4 locations-you have to go back to the beginning. While serving his country in the United States Army, our founder, Dr. McCarthy, was searching for quality orthodontic treatment for his daughter.
Dr. McCarthy received his orthodontic training while serving in the military. During his ten years in the US Army, Dr. McCarthy rose to the rank of Major and served as a Green Beret. He is a board certified orthodontist with nearly two decades of experience and has been recognized as one of America's Top Dentist by the Consumer Research Council of America every year for the past decade.
We are thrilled that you are considering us for your treatment! We would love to meet you and we want your first visit to be a great one! To make sure that happens, we start by listening because frankly, you and your goals matter most to us. After evaluating your individual case, we carefully craft a customized plan to meet your exact needs.
There's no "right" age to get braces - so at your child's free consultation, valued at $249, we will individually assess your child's case and provide comprehensive direction about when to start treatment. Be confident: Giving your child the smile they were meant to have gives them the confidence to become who they were meant to be.
Research tells us that if you get braces as a teenager, you have the potential to earn an extra $250k over the course of your career, so think about investing in who your teen will become today. Be confident: Giving your teen the smile they were meant to have gives them the confidence to become who they were meant to be.

Dr is very calm and explains every detail to help me understand the goals. Definitely not working for just a check but to help every person she meets.

I had a retainer that broke on my upper teeth. I called then to see if they could remove it. They did a free consultation, free x rays, and the wire was removed within seconds.
I was told by a dentist that I would have to pay out of pocket for x rays, an appointment, consult on what I should do, and for it to be pulled. They were so helpful, reassuring, and understanding of my situation. They were also so understanding about me bringing my 3 year old and infant.

Very friendly and upbeat staff, even at 8 in the morning. There just so happened to be a mix up in the schedule but they were able to add me to the schedule same day. Excellent experience.

My experience was great!!! There was a mix up with my appointment time and they still was able to see my son. They are affordable and he even got his braces done while he was there.

I love the atmosphere of Birmingham Orthodontics in Trussville. My oldest daughter goes there for her braces and the atmosphere is amazing. Every person that we have came in contact with thus far has been more than welcoming.

Excellent service. Not a long waiting period. My appointment was at 8 am. I stayed until 11 am. Same day braces and x-rays. The longest part was honestly the x-rays. Staff is very friendly. Made you feel comfortable about everything. Thanks Birmingham Orthodontics for helping me get my smile together!

I'm now a part of the brace face family again! Birmingham Orthodontics was recommended by several people I know and I was wanting to get a second opinion on what another ortho doctor said concerning my teeth. So I decided to hit them up and I'm so glad I did!! From the moment I pulled up (before I even got in the door), i experienced the kindness that I've read so much about in these reviews. Then when I walked in the door, I was greeted by name by ALL of the staff members. From check in, to finance, to X-rays, to getting the actual braces on... it was such a pleasant experience

I got introduced here in 2017 by a friend at the time when I was living in AL. The staff was always more than welcoming and friendly, & met ALL of my needs. The wait was never long, & the prices were affordable. Highly recommend!

Went for a consultation right. Lol. I'm deathly afraid of any doctor that has to do with messing with my mouth so I went in on 10,000 afraid. This location came highly recommended by my gf Nikese so ehhhh let's do it. The staff was AMAZING and very FRIENDLY. They snickered at my nervousness but assured me every step of the process that it would be fine and if and when I got braces it's not painful to get them on but there will be discomfort in the following couple days afterwards and after each tightening. Dr. McCarthy was nice and has a calming essence about him. He talked to me
