Orthodontic care for Huntsville-area patients

Huntsville continues to grow, and with that growth comes more families looking for orthodontic care they can trust.
If you’re comparing options, it helps to look beyond rankings and ask a few simple questions:
Will the office communicate clearly? Are treatment options explained in a way you understand? Do you feel comfortable bringing your child there?

Why see an orthodontist instead of “waiting it out”?

Orthodontics is about more than straight teeth.
When the bite is off—whether from crowding, spacing, or jaw alignment—teeth can wear unevenly, cleaning can become harder, and discomfort may build over time.
An orthodontist evaluates how your teeth fit together and recommends a plan to improve function and long-term stability.

Many Huntsville-area parents also ask about timing.
For children, an early evaluation can help identify development concerns before they become more complex.
For teens and adults, it’s never “too late” to improve your smile with the right treatment plan and steady follow-through.

Braces and Invisalign options near Huntsville

At Durham Orthodontics, treatment recommendations are based on your needs—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Some patients benefit most from braces, while others are a great fit for Invisalign or other clear aligner options.
If you’d like a broad overview of what we offer, our Treatment Options page is a helpful starting point.

Braces

Braces are a reliable, time-tested option for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite concerns.
They’re especially effective for more complex movements because they provide consistent control throughout treatment.
Depending on your needs and preferences, braces can also be a great choice for teens and adults.

Invisalign and clear aligners

Clear aligners (including Invisalign) use a series of custom trays to gradually move teeth into alignment.
They’re removable, which many patients appreciate for meals, sports, and special events.
Aligners can be an excellent option for many teens and adults, though braces may be recommended for certain bite corrections or complex cases.

We see a wide range of patients—from children who need early monitoring to adults who are finally ready to invest in their smile.

If you want a breakdown by age and what’s typical at each stage, our Orthodontics for All Ages page covers it in a simple, easy-to-follow way.
