Orthodontics in Birmingham, AL
Welcome to Jones Orthodontics
Jones Orthodontics is privately owned, and Dr. Al Jones personally treats every patient at every visit. Most families arrive unsure whether anything needs doing yet, and that is the right time to come in.
01
Reach out
Call, text or book online. A person in this office answers, and if we miss you we call back the same day.
02
Meet Dr. Jones
Talk to our doctor at your first visit. Dr. Jones walks through what he sees and what he would recommend.
03
Decide at home
You leave with a written plan and the cost of your own case. There is nothing to sign on the day.
What you can check on day one
The four details below explain how our Birmingham practice is run, who you will see, and how we approach recommendations for your family.
The Same Orthodontist Every Time
The doctor who plans your case is the one who adjusts it and the one who finishes it. Nobody is handed to a provider they met that morning.
No Parent Company Above Us
Dr. Jones owns this practice outright. There is no regional director and no production target behind what he recommends.
The Same Faces At Every Visit
The clinical and front desk team in this Birmingham office are staying. Being greeted by name matters more than people expect.
Treatment Only When It Is Warranted
Many children Dr. Jones sees are not ready to begin, and he says so. Starting early for its own sake is how a family ends up paying twice.

Who We Help
Care for every age
The right time to start is different for every child, and for a lot of adults it is simply now. We look first and talk after.
Kids
The AAO recommends a first orthodontic check at age 7. For most children the visit ends with good news and a plan to check again as they grow.
Teens
Most permanent teeth are in, so this is when braces or aligners do their most efficient work. Dr. Jones walks through both options side by side.
Adults
It is never too late, and you will not be the oldest patient in the chair this week. Adults are a steady part of the schedule here. Clear aligners and ceramic brackets keep treatment discreet at work.
Three ways to straighten a smile
Compare braces, Invisalign, and other orthodontic treatment options for children, teens, and adults. Dr. Jones will recommend an approach based on your teeth, bite, and goals.
Braces
Metal braces are the workhorse and handle the most complicated bites. Clear ceramic does the same job in a shade closer to your own teeth. Dr. Jones fits and adjusts every set himself.
- Metal and clear ceramic brackets
- For kids, teens and adults
- Get started with a free consultation
Invisalign
For patients who would rather not wear brackets at all. Aligners are planned in this office from an iTero scan, with no impression tray and no outside lab deciding your case.
- Invisalign and 3M Clarity Aligners
- iTero digital scan, no impression tray
- Planned here by Dr. Jones
Other Treatments
Early treatment for growing children when it is warranted, airway focused care planned with cone beam imaging, and retainers checked at every visit.
- Two phase treatment for growing children
- Airway orthodontics with CBCT imaging
- Retainers and long term follow up
