So glad I chose Canales for my braces! The staff is so sweet and always quick! I’ve never waited very long, always able to get an appointment that works for my schedule and love the process so far. Doctors Chris and Angie are wonderful. I’ve seen both throughout my course of treatment and both bring so much joy to what they do! From the comfort of their facility, the music playing and even the train!!! So happy to be a Canales patient and will give them a top referral anytime I can!

There are not enough wonderful things that can be said about Canales orthodontics. Dr. Chris & Dr. Angie, along with their entire team, go above and beyond for every single patient. Within only 5 minutes of knowing them, I was treated like family. I am currently 25 years old, and I had braces before as a child. But even after their removal in the 6th grade, I still felt self-conscious about my smile knowing as I got older that something still did not look right. I got several opinions at multiple orthodontic offices around Birmingham, but everyone kept saying I would have to wear braces again for 3-5 years. However, no one was giving me an explanation about why something still looked wrong with my smile even after 3 years of braces, wearing my retainer appropriately, and taking good care of my teeth . Drs. Canales were the only doctors to really look into the problem. They immediately realized that I had a jaw issue that needed to be corrected surgically accompanied by a short orthodontic treatment. Now, after the surgery and a quick year in braces, I have never felt better. I can actually smile confidently knowing that my teeth look more beautiful than ever. After 13 years of being embarrassed and wondering why it looked that way, this excellent staff gave me the smile I have always dreamed of having. I will never be able to thank them enough!

Great place to get your teeth looked at or fixed to have that perfect smile you’ve always wanted. Staff is super helpful, professional, and nice. They are great with kids. Both orthodontists are patient, kind, and know their stuff. As they look at your teeth they are talking to you the whole time and informing you of what they are doing. They give you a treatment plan that is reasonably priced and they make sure you fully understand the process as well as what is included. I would 110% roccomend. They are an amazing team.

My daughter dentist recommended Canales Orthodontics to us and I can I be more than happy that she did. The staff and doctors are exceptional! They are so helpful and accommodating. They do a great job creating a welcoming facility. The make us feel like part of the family! My daughter always come out just as happy with her bands on, a different color every time. No matter what situation you run into they are always helping you work it out. I recommend coming to see them for any of your orthodontic needs!

My daughter started with Canales in November. They have made this an easy and comfortable experience for her. They are extremely personable and caring. We even receive follow-up calls to check on our sweet girl after appointments. I would highly recommend that anyone make Canales their choice as an orthodontist.

We absolutely love Canales Orthodontics!! My oldest will need to have jaw surgery and the team at Canales has been instrumental in planning and coordinating orthodontia needs with the oral surgeon. Cannot say enough good things about Dr. C and Dr. A – they genuinely care! The staff is super friendly and it’s an added bonus that I get to watch HGTV in the waiting room 🙂

I love Canales Orthodontics. They are a great. They are friendly and so helpful. From the moment I walked in to the office they were helpful and knowledgeable and friendly. I am adult in braces and they have always made it easy and they always make sure that I am happy when I leave. I love the staff and the doctors there. They make me look forward to going each and every month.

Friendly staff, they get you in at your appointment time and each visit is pretty quick! My daughter’s teeth are looking beautiful and she just has a few more months in braces! Also, I love that they are conservative and want to only put one set of braces on if possible. We are very happy with Canales Orthodontists and have recommended to friends!

Our dentist had been telling us for the last few years that our son needed to see an orthodontist because of a tooth. We’d actually seen one and were told he needed braces, we were dreading braces, especially the expense. Because I had braces myself I was prepared for all of the normal braces stuff with my son. Dr. Canales (both of them) are so wonderful! Instead of braces they suggested an appliance to push his tooth where it’s supposed to be. It was much less expensive and he wont need it for too long. I would highly recommend them, they look at what’s best for the patient not just getting braces on everyone (unlike some other orthodontists) We’re more than pleased with our experience!

Another parent recommended Canales Orthodontics when I complimented her son’s beautiful smile during a sporting event our sons were participating. She raved about how wonderful they were and I agree 100% now. My son and I first met Dr Chris at the Alabaster location a couple years ago for his initial assessment. I was very impressed. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, Ben was not able to actually begin his orthodontic journey until March 2018. I cannot say how wonderful the staff is at both locations. At my request, Treatment Coordinators Autumn and Kristi did follow-up calls to check in on us every few months. Not in a high pressure sales tactic for treatment, but with genuine concern for another human being during that two years lapse. True Christian examples at work in these offices. Our second meeting with Dr C was at the Gardendale location. If you are rail fan, like my son, you’ll love the model train tracks suspended from the ceiling running via “tunnels” between the rooms of the office. The model train makes its rounds and I’m sure helps distract any anxious patients with its journey. Since Ben had grown significantly since the first visit, new x-rays were done to assess his current orthodontic needs. It was determined that my teenager needed 8 permanent teeth removed, 4 of those being his wisdom teeth. Dr C referred us to oral surgeon Dr Holmes (also in Gardendale) to do the honors. (Another excellent group, by the way.) Treatment Coordinator Lena was able to go over all the “business” part of the meeting regarding insurance and payment plans. She was very knowledgeable and helpful on navigating me through all my concerns. After a couple weeks of recovery from oral surgery, Dr Angie placed the braces on Ben. She went over everything with both of us and answered all our questions. She reminded us to call them if we ever had any concerns or problems. We’re three months into treatment and just saw Dr A this week. She made another adjustment and added new brackets and springs. She is very encouraged by the progress of his treatment. So is my family. When told that Ben was playing basketball this summer, they made sure to give him a mouth guard to help protect him. I highly recommend Canales Orthodontics. Everyone I’ve met has been very upbeat, positive and professional. They seem to sincerely care for each and every patient in their care. I appreciate them very much.

As a parent of 3 kids, I can honestly say that you will never find a more caring group of professionals to walk your child through the uncertainty of having braces as Dr Angie & Chris Canales and their staff. My oldest son was referred to a different orthodontist and we were unhappy with the care and communication. When it was time to get braces for my daughter, I was so glad to hear about Canales Orthodontics. They exceeded my expectations, and my daughter had the best experience. She was also thrilled when she was offered a job to work as an assistant there for the summer. Now my 12 year old is counting down the months until she will be able to be fitted for braces. We have been blessed, as a family, to have the opportunity to be under Dr. A and Dr. C’s care. Thank you so much for all you do for your patients.

I was referred to Canales Ortho from my daughter’s dentist, and couldn’t be more HAPPY! They are so helpful with pricing & payment plan, and have the most friendly staff at the Alabaster location (that’s the only location we have been to). They also let me know as a parent how well my daughter is brushing and/or if she needs to step up the flossing & so on. AND… we ALWAYS are treated very well & my daughter is beyond happy that we chose Canales for her orthodontist. AND…one last thing, they have the most gorgeous décor and so clean…you could eat off the floor! THANKS CANALES ORTHO…YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST!!!

All of the staff is wonderful at Canales Orthodontics. They really put my 10 year old child at ease and made her excited about head gear! She is now 12 years old and has a beautiful smile!! I plan to use them again for my youngest child if she ends up needing their services. Super friendly doctors and staff and they do everything they can to work with you financially as well! I highly recommend!!

We go to the Alabaster location and love the doctors and staff. They are so nice and friendly. My kids feel very comfortable with everyone there and I appreciate the time they take to make each visit personal. They are very knowledgeable and have taken a conservative approach to the orthodontic treatments they have recommended. They offer flexibility with payments which has helped also! I highly recommend Canales Orthodontics!

Our daughter had braces from another local orthodontist, but for our son’s very complicated mouth our dentist recommended Canales. This is the place for us…LEAGUES above the others! The staff makes you feel like family from day one. Doctor A explains each step of the process so clearly! I always leave feeling like I understand what she did, why and what our next step will be. She even called us about a week after getting braces just to check on our son. She also met us at the office on her day off to replace a broken piece! I cannot say enough good things about them! We will definitely use Canales for our other two sons and recommend them to anyone we know! Amazing!!

I got my braces off a few weeks ago so I’ve been at canales for about a year and a half. They are always positive and happy to see you. If you have a schedule conflict with your appointment you can call and get it changed very easily, unlike other orthodontists. I was thrilled with my results. 10/10 would recommend. 🙂

My daughter has been going there for about a year now and I can honestly say that it has been a great experience. We shopped around in Birmingham and they had they best prices. Everyone is so nice and easy to work with. We have had to reschedule because of conflicts and they were very accommodating. I would highly recommend them.

My 7 year old was referred to this office by her regular dentist. At her first visit last week she was a little nervous but the staff was very patient with her as she had her evaluation and made her feel at ease. They were also very helpful helping me to understand insurance coverage and payment options available. Extremely pleased with our time here.

Our daughter is a fairly new patient with Canales Orthodontics. We already feel like we are a part of their family! We came to Dr. Canales with our heart on our sleeve and a bad previous experience still fresh in our minds. We came to Canales seeking help for our daughters’ rare and challenging situation. Dr. Canales put our worries at ease while presenting a clear and concise treatment plan. The Gardendale office staff is wonderful; always friendly and extremely helpful. We are indeed very thankful for Canales Orthodontics!
