About Birmingham Orthodontics
Dr. Feinberg draws praise for patience with young kids starting braces early, while payment plans keep treatment affordable for budget-minded families.
Cost and financing come up more here than at most orthodontic offices, with payment plans that reviews call reasonable for both adults and families watching their budget. Early, phase-one treatment for younger children is mentioned well beyond the norm, alongside standard braces, clear aligners, and retainer work. Many reviews describe a welcoming, modern office and a staff that puts anxious kids and adults at ease, though a smaller number of reviewers report a rushed doctor visit or disappointing bite results after lengthy treatment.

I love this office! It is very clean, affordable and the staff is AMAZING! They are VERY quick and thorough. My very first appointment was less than an hour long, which consisted of a consultation and placement of my braces. My treatment appointments are typically 15-20 mins including the wait time. My travel time to this office, is an hour and it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend.
