About Dr Hastings, Orthodontist, Orthodontic Practice, Mobile, AL

Complex cases like jaw surgery combined with braces and multi-generation families who return year after year for what reviews call the Hastings Smile.

Dr. Joseph Hastings treats a wide range of cases with braces as the dominant treatment, and reviews frequently point to strong results, including one patient who combined jaw surgery with braces after years of crowding and embarrassment. Several families mention bringing multiple children through treatment here, describing a doctor who is methodical, direct about treatment planning, and willing to handle urgent issues, including a same-day manual jaw reset for a TMD patient. A smaller number of reviews mention long-term or complex cases running several years, which is consistent with the surgical and jaw-related work described.

I cannot say enough good things about this office! The whole staff is amazing, you can tell they actually care about their patients. Very compassionate, if you are in any kind of pain, they will do their absolute best to make sure you get the care that you need. This is going to be a long one, but very well deserved. Now Dr. Langley....he has to be the best doctor/person I have ever met. I was calling every ortho office I could find and every one of them were telling me they didn't have anything open for a week plus. (This was my first experience with TMD and I didn't know what was going on) As soon as they told Dr. Langley what was going on with me, he said "tell her to come now." As soon as I got there, Hannah, took me back to his office and let me know it might be a minute. She asked if I wanted anything to drink, she asked how I was doing, she was so attentive! When I met Dr. Langley, he was so empathetic about my situation. He ended up being able to reset my jaw in place manually...not once, but TWICE. My jaw ended up locking up again this week and I had to go back for him to reset it again. Same amazing service as when I was there the first time. They fitted me for a mouth splint, and it will be ready this Friday. (They fitted me for it this Tuesday.) I am beyond grateful that I was able to stumble upon this amazing organization. After he reset my jaw the first time, he reached out to me personally the next day to check in and see how I was doing. When I say the first day I met them, it was probably one of the worst days of my life because I had other things going on on top of everything else. Dr. Langley and his staff turned that day all the way around for me, and all I can say it God knows what you need and when you need it. I am so thankful that God sent me to this Orthodontic office, I can't be more grateful for that! If you need any kind of orthodontic work done, go to South Alabama Orthodontics, I promise you absolutely won't regret it!

Dr. Hastings is honest, kind and amazing at what he does. He will not waste your time or money. It is refreshing to find an orthodontist who tells you the complete truth. My daughter was in braces for 3 1/2 years and her teeth turned out absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better orthodontist!
