About Great Smiles Orthodontics
Dr. Christy Jebeles Savage takes on complex cases—severe underbites, overbites, and even jaw surgery—with reviews citing lasting results years later.
Reviews at Great Smiles Orthodontics point heavily to treatment outcomes, with many describing correction of severe underbites, overbites, and crowded teeth, including cases combined with jaw surgery or TMJ relief. Dr. Christy Jebeles Savage is described as a perfectionist who takes on challenging cases and works through detailed treatment plans, though a few reviews note her direct, fast-paced communication style can feel abrasive. Many families mention treating multiple siblings over the years, and the office is noted for building rapport with young children starting early orthodontic care. A handful of reviews raise concerns about cost and pricing transparency.

Dr. Christy Savage and the entire team at Great Smiles Orthodontics in Trussville are amazing! My granddaughter, Olivia, had a severe underbite, and in less than two years her teeth are beautifully aligned. We are thrilled with the results! The staff is warm, personable, and professional, and they made every visit a positive experience. They built a wonderful relationship with Olivia, making her feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. We highly recommend Dr. Savage and her exceptional team!

Dr. Savage and her team at Great Smiles Orthodontics are awesome! The front desk personnel and her clinical staff met me with positive energy, and yes, with great smiles during each visit. This is my second time to have braces (due to non-compliance with retainers at a younger age), but this time I chose to wear aligners which I absolutely loved it. During the course of my treatment, Dr. Savage complimented me on my progress, she was attentive to any questions I had, and of course, she provided great feedback. Today, I graduated from the dental chair, and my teeth went from being crooked with embarrassing gaps, to being transformed straight and aligned. Now, I smile from ear to ear. Thanks Dr. Savage and team! Kristi

From the very beginning of my braces journey to the day they came off, Dr. Savage and the entire team provided outstanding care. They were always professional, friendly and took the time to explain each step of the process, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout my treatment. The office was welcoming, appointments were efficient and the staff genuinely cared about my progress. I am beyond happy with my smile and so grateful for the dedication and expertise they showed from start to finish. I highly recommend Great Smiles to anyone considering braces. Thank you for giving me a smile that I am proud to share!
