Bates Orthodontics - Birmingham, AL

I just wanted to give a plug for Bates Orthodontist on Lakeshore! My son had an adult tooth grow in very far back in his mouth - so far that when he closed his jaws his bottom teeth were in front of his top teeth. He looked like a bulldog 🙃😬 They did their best to keep the cost low for his initial treatment since he will likely need braces again once all his permanent teeth come in. However, this afternoon when we went to get the molds made for his trays his tooth had miraculously moved forward enough to where it wasn’t disturbing his jaw alignment anymore. They completely refunded our money for the treatment and put us on an observation plan for the next year. We did not owe them anything! They very easily could have gone forward with the treatment plan as we never would have noticed it had self corrected. They are SO kind, honest, thoughtful and were amazing with my son. If your child needs braces or alignment of any kind please check them out. Their office is very cool, their staff is kind and the doctors are honest and so helpful.

This place is fantastic! I highly recommend it. The staff is friendly, easy to schedule with, and everyone is incredibly nice. When you’re spending money on orthodontics, you want to trust the professionals you’re working with. This is the place to go.

I highly recommend Bates Orthodontics. All the staff are so friendly, nice and always has big smiles. Since I've seen Brenisha most of the time, I really have to brag on how sweet she is. She really makes you feel good and I always leave happy. Dr. Bates is the absolute best and I have recommended him to my daughter. They have really taken special care of me.

My experience with Bates Orthodontics has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment I arrived as a transfer patient, I felt welcomed and at home. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating to both me and my family. They went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met throughout the entire process. This has been an incredible journey and I highly recommend Bates Orthodontics to anyone seeking orthodontic care. A huge thank you to Dr. Bates and the team for helping me to achieve the perfect smile!

The team at Bates Orthodontics are super nice and professional! They answer any questions you may have with ease. They take the time to make sure everything is correct and as comfortable as possible before you leave your appointment. I was very excited and nervous about braces.That changed on my very first visit. Side note: Dr. Bates shares his love of Dave Matthews Band throughout the office. Great atmosphere!
