Real Stories
from Gardendale Families
– Damon G.
They made me feel like more than just a patient. Everyone there is so helpful and everything was explained to me thoroughly! I highly recommend Canales!
– Jessica N.
I cannot say enough good things about our experience so far. From scheduling the appointment to being seen & creating a game plan, everyone was so nice & knowledgable! I will definitely recommend them to everyone in need of orthodontic services!
– Randi T.
I had a wonderful experience! The staff were amazing and made us feel very comfortable! The orthodontist isn’t one to just slap braces on someone unless absolutely needed! He took the time to sit and explain every single detail with me. Highly recommend!!
– Brandi B.
They have taken such good care of my daughters! All the staff have made my daughters feel comfortable, and they treat patients like they matter. We are very pleased with the care and outcome of treatment.
– Liz H.
Absolutely the best! Cannot say more how much I appreciate them being aggressively conservative and having an action plan.
– Shannon L.
Very caring staff. We went in for a consultation and left feeling like he really cared for my nephew’s teeth and also felt no pressure in using them as a orthodontist. He said come back in 9 months because he wasn’t ready for braces yet. We will use them for braces if he does end up needing them.
– Joyce H.
We were greeted by a warm and friendly staff who answered all of our questions and concerns. We met with Dr. Canales and he was just as warm and friendly as the staff. He took time with my son and to explain things that we were going to watch and wait on. He didn’t try to rush us or push us into braces like some other orthodontists do. I can’t say enough what a wonderful experience we had!
– Joanna W.
Great experience, no pressure or feeling like you’re being pushed to get unnecessary treatment. Would highly recommend.
– Jennifer T.
What a nice group of people! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and professional. | especially appreciated the amount of time Dr. Canales spent evaluating my daughter and explaining the treatment plan. Plus, this husband-wife team is super supportive of our local schools! My daughter especially enjoyed the swag bag and Frios pop. Highly recommend!
– Stephanie M.
Great experience! My daughter got evaluated for braces. She ended up not needing them right now. I love that they conservative with their approach. You can tell it’s not about money but it about the patients.
– LuCressia H.
Canales is hands down the BEST! They truly care about you as a patient and won’t try to sell you things that you don’t need. They also don’t try to start treatments too early if your child still has a lot of growing to do. | have brought all my kids here and have nothing but positive things to say about them!

“Canales Orthodontics is the best choice for orthodontic care. My family has used Dr Angie and Chris for the past 4 years, and would highly recommend their services to anyone who would like to be treated like family. They truly care for the patient and the extended family as well. My daughter was blessed with the opportunity to work at the Alabaster location after she graduated from THS. If you are evaluating orthodontic care, you would be wise to visit a Canales Orthodontic location near you.”
“There are not enough wonderful things that can be said about Canales Orthodontics. This is without a doubt the place to go for superior orthodontic treatment. 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. This excellent staff gave me the smile I have always dreamed of having. I will never be able to thank them enough!”
“When it comes to orthodontics, Canales is the best around. Everyone is so kind and helpful. They equipped both of my children with braces several years ago, and now I am using them for Invisalign and couldn’t be more pleased with the process so far!”
“The Canales, Dr. C and Dr. A, are undoubtedly the best orthodontists in Birmingham. I consulted with a total of 4 orthodontists before selecting the Canales as my doctors. It was a fantastic choice. 3 years of treatment and, in the end, I am still as happy and confident in the choice as I was at the beginning. Great people, great staff, they will always listen and ask your take, but are very wise and helpful in all of your visits. Can’t recommend enough.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Chris and Angie Canales. Both doctors provided outstanding care to my children throughout their orthodontic journey. From the very first consultation to the final removal of their braces, every step was handled with professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. They always took the time to explain each phase of treatment, answered all of our questions with patience, and made my kids feel comfortable and confident during every visit. The staff is just as amazing – friendly, organized, and always welcoming.
Thanks to Dr. Angie and Dr. Chris, my children now have beautiful, healthy smiles and a newfound confidence. I highly recommend their practice to anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic care delivered with compassion and excellence.”
