About Birmingham Orthodontics
Same-day consultations and braces placements, flexible monthly payment plans, and Dr. Rivers's steady tracking of progress set this Trussville practice apart.
This orthodontic practice sees a high volume of braces patients, and reviews often point to same-day consultations and same-day braces placement as a practical draw. Flexible down payments and monthly plans come up often, along with clear billing and insurance verification, though a few reviewers mention pricing feels high or that unexpected costs arose after insurance ran out. Dr. Rivers and Dr. Hartman are both mentioned for explaining treatment steps and tracking progress carefully through appointments.

Wonderful experience! The staff was friendly & knowledgeable. I brought both of my kids in for a consultation & neither are ready for braces yet. I love how they did not rush to put them on to make a dollar. Very pleased with this office & looking forward to going back next year. Will definitely recommend!
