Welcome to Island Ortho

From the moment you step into one of our nine locations, you'll feel like family. Our doctors—Dr. Dyken, Dr. Bilbo, and Dr. Talbert bring decades of combined experience and a shared passion for making every smile transformation smooth, personalized, and precise. With over 740 five-star reviews, we're trusted by families across the region—and we can't wait to help you experience what a next-generation smile journey looks like.

Why Technology is the Heart of Modern Orthodontics

We believe great smiles start with great tools. That's why we've made technology a core part of everything we do at Island Ortho. Gone are the days of goopy molds and generic treatment plans. Today, we use digital imaging, 3D scanning, and even in-house 3D printing to create accurate, efficient, and fully personalized orthodontic experiences. These tools allow us to precisely map out your treatment, giving you faster results and greater comfort at every step. With technology on our side—and yours—your smile upgrade is more powerful than ever.


Introducing IslandSmile Aligners

Meet our in-house innovation: IslandSmile Aligners—custom-made, clear trays designed to straighten teeth discreetly and effectively. These aligners offer a sleek, low-profile alternative to traditional braces, all while being crafted with precision using digital scanning and 3D modeling. What makes IslandSmile special? They're not just made for your teeth—they're made by your orthodontist, right here at Island Ortho. That means quicker turnarounds, better fits, and treatment that adapts to your life, not the other way around. Whether you're looking to correct spacing, crowding, or bite issues, IslandSmile Aligners deliver the desired results with the flexibility you need.

3D Scanning and Printing: A New Era in Smile Design

Our digital workflow starts with advanced 3D scanning, which lets us create a complete model of your smile without discomfort. No more goop, no more guesswork. Once scanned, we use 3D printing technology to create aligners or tools tailored to your treatment needs. This technology speeds up production and ensures every appliance fits better and works faster. At Island Ortho, we combine art and science to design your smile with unmatched precision—and we're doing it in real time, right here in Alabama.

Braces vs. Aligners: Personalized Solutions for Every Smile

Whether you choose traditional braces or IslandSmile Aligners, your treatment is always designed around what works best for you. Braces remain a powerful option for complex cases, offering strength and control that's hard to beat. Aligners, on the other hand, are great for flexibility, discretion, and convenience, especially for adults and teens with busy lifestyles. At Island Ortho, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all. We help you understand your options and customize a plan that fits your smile, schedule, and goals perfectly.

Digital Imaging: Precision from the First Appointment

Everything starts with a scan. Using high-resolution digital imaging, we capture detailed visuals of your teeth, jaw, and bite—all without radiation-heavy X-rays. These scans give us the insight we need to diagnose accurately and plan with total confidence. The best part? You can see what we see. During your consultation, we walk you through your scan, discuss your treatment goals, and show you your future smile. It's the clearest, most confident way to begin your journey.


Comfort, Speed, and Customization in Every Tray

When we design your IslandSmile Aligners, we do it with your comfort in mind. Each tray is made using high-resolution 3D scans and refined through digital modeling to ensure a snug, smooth fit. That means less irritation, fewer adjustments, and a more comfortable experience from start to finish. Plus, because we produce aligners in-house, we can react quickly to changes in your treatment, whether that's speeding things up, refining progress, or replacing a lost tray. At Island Ortho, customization isn't a feature—it's the foundation of everything we do.

Your Treatment, Your Terms: Tech That Fits Your Life

We get it—life is busy, and orthodontic treatment should fit around your routine, not disrupt it. We offer digital scheduling, faster appointments, and aligners that keep you moving. Our tech-driven systems allow for remote monitoring, reducing the number of in-office visits without compromising results. Whether you're a parent managing your child's appointments or an adult looking for flexible solutions, our technology makes it easier to stay on track and feel empowered.

Results You Can See—and Predict

With IslandSmile Aligners and digital imaging, you'll get a glimpse of your end result before you even begin. Using simulation software, we can project your treatment path and give you a visual of how your smile will improve week by week. This transparency keeps you motivated and ensures we always work toward a clearly defined goal. We don't just tell you what to expect—we show you. And as your smile changes, you'll see those projections come to life.
