Kids, Teens, & Adults In Tuscaloosa

Creating Beautiful Smiles for the Whole Family

Get the compassionate, personalized care you deserve in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. You’ll enjoy getting your beautiful new smile in our family-based, high-tech practice.

Kids

Dr. Whitaker recommends that children visit an orthodontist around age seven. No referral is needed—just give us a call to schedule your free consultation!

Teens

Teens are excellent candidates for orthodontic treatment. Since their jaws are still developing, treatment tends to be more efficient and comfortable at this stage.

Adults

You shouldn’t have to wait any longer for the smile you’ve always wanted. More adults in Tuscaloosa are starting orthodontic treatment now than ever before.
