For over 60 years our family has served families of Northeast Alabama, with offices in Anniston and Gadsden. Now his sons, Dr. Jay Walker and Dr. Carl Walker, carry on his legacy of patient-centric orthodontic care. We value the relationships that develop as we strive to deliver the best orthodontic treatment possible. It is an honor to now treat the grandchildren of Dr. Joby Walker's early patients.
Dr. Walker, Jr., better known as Dr. Jay, joined his dad in the practice in 1984 after earning his orthodontic degree from the University of Tennessee (Memphis). He is certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, the sole specialty board for orthodontics recognized by the American Dental Association. He then graduated from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry (1986), and obtained his Master of Science in Orthodontics from the University of Tennessee (Memphis) College of Dentistry two years later.
I became a resident of John Croyle's Big Oak boys ranch in the mid 1980s. In 1990, I met Dr Jay for my first appointment to have braces put on for an early phase of treatment - my teeth were in really bad shape!

It is often said, "No two people are alike."
This maxim applies to orthodontic treatment.
Although there are basic patterns of facial types, jaw relationships, and tooth alignment, each person is unique and requires an individualized diagnosis in order to determine the most appropriate treatment goals.
For the vast majority of patients, these questions can be answered by Dr. Jay or Dr. Carl on the first consultation.
Occasionally there are complicating factors which require obtaining further information (dental casts or scans, x-rays, consulting with primary dentist or other specialists) before a complete course of action can be recommended.

Correction of orthodontic problems can enhance overall dental health, improve the function of the dentition, and boost one's appearance.
Without treatment, orthodontic problems may lead to tooth decay, gum disease, loss of bone support around the teeth, and trouble with chewing, digestion, and speech.
An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
While general dentists are allowed by the Dental Code to undertake orthodontic treatment, the American Dental Association requires dentists to have two or more years of advanced specialty training in an accredited institution to be called a specialist in orthodontics.
