Reviewed by Dr. Lew Sample, board-certified orthodontist (ABO Diplomate)
Valley Orthodontics is a board-certified orthodontist serving the Cullman, AL area from our Hartselle office at 220 Karl Prince Dr SW - about 22 miles up US-31 and I-65, roughly 24 minutes away. Led by Dr. Lew Sample, an ABO Diplomate, we offer braces, Invisalign, and clear aligners for children, teens, and adults. Call (256) 773-8613 for a free consultation.
Cullman is fortunate to have good orthodontic options, so we’ll be straightforward: many families in and around Cullman travel our way already - for work, school, or shopping along the US-31 and I-65 corridor - and for them, Valley Orthodontics is a convenient, board-certified choice a short drive north in Hartselle. We’re an especially natural fit for families in northern Cullman County, around West Point and Fairview, where our Hartselle office is often the closest specialist. If that’s you, we’d be glad to help.
Our Hartselle office is about 22 miles from the city of Cullman - a roughly 24-minute drive straight up US-31 or I-65. For communities in the northern part of Cullman County, like West Point and Fairview, the drive is shorter still, which makes us one of the closer orthodontic specialists to those families.
We won’t pretend to be your in-town Cullman practice - we’re not. What we offer is a specialist worth the short trip: Valley Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic specialty practice, and Dr. Lew Sample is a board-certified orthodontist and ABO Diplomate with 28 years of experience who teaches orthodontics at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry.
For families weighing their options, that specialist expertise - plus flexible financing and a free consultation - is well worth considering.
Cullman County is known for its rich German heritage - from the Ave Maria Grotto to the annual Oktoberfest - and for Smith Lake’s recreation nearby. It’s a proud, growing part of North Alabama, and its northern communities sit within easy reach of our Hartselle office.

We also offer 3M Clarity™ Aligners, another excellent clear-aligner system, so Dr. Sample can match you with the option best suited to your smile.
Early interceptive (Phase 1) treatment guides your child’s growth and makes room for permanent teeth. The AAO recommends a first checkup by age 7.

You have good options in town, and we respect that. Some families choose us because they’re already traveling toward Hartselle or Decatur, because they’re in northern Cullman County closer to our Hartselle office, or because they want a board-certified specialist (Dr. Sample is an ABO Diplomate) for their care. A free consultation is a no-pressure way to compare.
Our Hartselle office is about 22 miles - roughly 24 minutes up US-31 or I-65. From West Point or Fairview in northern Cullman County, it’s a shorter drive.

Of course. If you’d like another perspective on a treatment plan you’ve been given, we’re glad to provide a second opinion at a free, no-pressure consultation. We also offer no-interest payment plans from $120 a month. Call (256) 773-8613 or request an appointment.
