About South Alabama Orthodontics

Full courses of braces here often end in straight, beautiful results, and the orthodontist has handled TMD emergencies with same-day jaw resets.

South Alabama Orthodontics sees many patients through complete courses of traditional braces, with several reviews describing final smiles as straight and beautiful. A number of families have had multiple children in treatment at once, and the office has responded quickly to urgent TMD issues, including manually resetting a patient's jaw on more than one visit. Staff are described as sweet and compassionate, and the orthodontist is noted for attention to detail and being upfront about what treatment actually requires.

Summary of 26 patient reviews, April 2022–December 2025, updated September 2026

South Alabama Orthodontics provides orthodontic care in Mobile, AL, serving children, adolescents, and adults across three locations in the area.

The practice addresses a range of alignment and bite concerns for patients seeking treatment options tailored to different age groups and clinical needs. The practice offers traditional metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign clear aligners for patients who prefer a less visible treatment approach. Early orthodontic intervention is available for younger patients when growth modification or space management is clinically indicated. South Alabama Orthodontics also treats complex bite issues and provides retention protocols following active treatment to help maintain results. With three offices throughout Mobile, the practice aims to provide accessible appointment scheduling for families in different parts of the community. The multiple locations may reduce travel time for patients who live or work in various areas of the city. South Alabama Orthodontics has earned a 4.8 rating from 25 Google reviews, reflecting patient feedback on clinical care and office experience. The practice serves the broader Mobile area and surrounding communities in southern Alabama. As with any orthodontic treatment, candidacy and treatment planning depend on individual diagnostic findings, and a clinical evaluation is necessary to determine appropriate care options for each patient.

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!
