At Caroline Albea Orthodontics, we believe in staying true to our small-town, southern roots, by providing a hospitable and personal practice environment that is professional, but with a home-style touch. We believe that each patient deserves individualized attention throughout his or her treatment.

Our end goal is that we have provided quality treatment to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile that our patients can be proud of. Ceramic braces are virtually unnoticeable and are a perfect option for teens and adults who are looking to improve their smile. See if ceramic braces are right for you. Invisalign is an option for teens and adults to straighten their teeth through a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners.
Services
Before becoming Caroline Albea Orthodontics, the office used to be someone's home up on the hill, overlooking the old runway. Plans were made to build a new house in its place, so in the early 2000s, the house was slid carefully down the hill where it sits now. It sat unoccupied for all those years, but once Dr. Albea saw it and the beautiful view it had, she knew it was going to be the perfect place for her to start her practice.
So, you need braces. Don't sweat it; you're not alone. Plenty of people are in the same boat. Your first step will be to find a provider that you trust to give you the beautiful smile that you are looking for. By choosing to trust Caroline Albea Orthodontics, you'll have the choice of braces that go practically unseen.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends an orthodontic examination of your child by the age of seven. This is when most children begin growing permanent teeth, and when problems can potentially begin. If your orthodontist recommends braces, ceramic (clear) braces could be a fantastic option.
In certain cases, Invisalign can be a viable treatment option for children, but we usually recommend a more traditional orthodontic approach for those under the age of 12. This is because traditional braces are fixed to the teeth rather than having the ability to take them off throughout the day like Invisalign.
In some cases, teens may be eligible for treatment with lingual braces. Many teenagers love them since they stay hidden behind the teeth and are almost 100 percent invisible when you smile. They are a great option for those looking for limited treatment to correct crowding in their bottom teeth. Lingual braces stay hidden behind the teeth and are almost 100 percent invisible when you smile.

Friendly and fully professional staff, led by Dr Albea.
For this senior adult, the Invisalign approach is the best solution for the common issue of gradually increasing misalignment in the elderly.

After a visit to my local dentist last week I was referred to Doctor Albea. We met today and I was given a thorough examination and consultation. Dr Caroline’s professional opinion concluded that I didn’t need orthodontics. Not only was she professional more importantly she is honest.

After consultations with a number of orthodontists in our area, we chose Albea Orthodinics because we were most impressed by their welcoming office and staff. Dr Albea is great with my daughter. My daughter is always at ease in her care as well. Dr Albea always addresses any concerns promptly. We love the location and she is quick to see her should any issue arise. Highly recommended!
