Valley Orthodontics serves families across Morgan County and North Alabama from two offices - Decatur and Hartselle - with braces, Invisalign, and clear aligners for children, teens, and adults. Led by board-certified orthodontist Dr. Lew Sample (an ABO Diplomate), we welcome patients from communities throughout the region. Find the office nearest you below, or call (256) 355-5255.
For more than a decade, families from all over North Alabama have trusted Valley Orthodontics for healthier, straighter smiles. With two convenient locations, a board-certified specialist, and free consultations, we make expert orthodontic care easy to reach - whether you’re around the corner in Decatur or driving in from Cullman County.
This page shows the communities we serve, which of our offices is closest to you, and how far the drive really is.
We see patients at two locations, and you’re welcome at whichever is more convenient:
Because our two offices sit on either side of the region, most North Alabama families are only a short drive from a Valley Orthodontics location. Both offices offer the same doctors, the same records, and the same full range of care - so you can even use one location most of the time and the other when it’s handy.
We also welcome families from these nearby towns. They don’t have their own page, but you’ll find us close by:
A small Morgan County community - and a former county seat - Somerville is about 10.5 miles (roughly 17 minutes) from our Hartselle office. We proudly sponsor Brewer High School, located right in Somerville. (Note for searchers: we serve Somerville, Alabama, not the better-known Somerville communities in Massachusetts, New Jersey, or Tennessee.)
Eva is a small, rural Morgan County town about 14.5 miles (around 19 minutes) from our Hartselle office. We sponsor Eva Middle School and welcome Eva-area families of every age.
Hatton is a rural Lawrence County farming community, roughly 28 miles (about 33 minutes) from our Decatur office. We proudly sponsor Hatton High School and are glad to care for Hatton-area smiles.
Each community below has its own page with local details, driving directions, and hours. Here’s a quick guide to who’s nearest which office:
