Moulton families don’t have a dedicated orthodontic specialist in town, so many make the short drive to nearby Decatur for braces and aligners - and we’re proud to be the practice so many of them choose. As the seat of Lawrence County, Moulton is a close-knit community with a strong local identity, and we’ve been caring for its families for years. Whether it’s a child’s first checkup or an adult ready to invest in a straighter smile, Valley Orthodontics offers specialist care, free consultations, and flexible financing just a straightforward drive up AL-24.

The distinction that matters: a general or family dentist may offer braces, but an orthodontist has years of additional training focused only on straightening teeth and correcting bites. Valley Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic specialty practice. Dr. Lew Sample is a board-certified orthodontist and ABO Diplomate with 28 years of experience, and he teaches orthodontics at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry - the kind of specialist expertise worth a short drive from Moulton.
