Services
Braces
Modern braces deliver advanced orthodontic results with enhanced comfort and reduced treatment time. Our customized solutions address alignment issues for patients seeking durable, effective care through traditional metal or ceramic options.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet, removable aligners that straighten teeth without traditional brackets. This technology offers comfortable, nearly invisible treatment tailored to adult and teen lifestyles while maintaining oral hygiene ease.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Specialized orthodontic interventions address sleep breathing disorders through customized oral appliances. These solutions improve airway function and reduce snoring, enhancing sleep quality for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea symptoms.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
Targeted treatments alleviate temporomandibular joint disorders through bite adjustments and orthopedic appliances. Our approach reduces pain, improves jaw function, and addresses clicking or locking issues using non-invasive orthodontic techniques.
Surgical Orthodontic Care
Comprehensive pre- and post-surgical orthodontics correct severe jaw discrepancies in coordination with oral surgeons. This specialized care optimizes facial symmetry and functional bite alignment for complex skeletal malocclusions requiring surgical intervention.

My one and only just started the orthodontist process...we are committed for the next 1 1/2-2 years! From the point of making the appointment to x-rays and finally having braces put on, I am pleased to say that it was a pleasant experience for both my daughter and I. Dr Sandman and his team were very thorough and the appointments started on time which is a rarity when you go to any doctors office! Dr Sandman's personality is so easy going and he uses humor and pleasantries to make one feel at ease which is very important when going through a stressful unknown process.

If I could give dr. Sandman more than 5 stars I would!!! He is absolutely amazing at his work and is great with his patients. For how bad my teeth were he never had a doubt that I wasn't going to get the straight teeth I always wanted. In the 17 months I had with Invisalign I never had an issue. During appointments him and the assistants actually listen to you if there are any issues, they tell you exactly what they are doing during your appointment, etc. The process of getting everything set after the first appointment with the xrays and what not is so smooth. I would absolutely highly recommend

Dr. Sandman is a great person who I looked forward to seeing every month during my adjustments. As an older patient I was nervous to get braces and asked a lot of questions; he always took the time to reassure me and alleviate any concerns I had. More importantly than his personality, he does a great job. He is an extremely intelligent provider who was always able to answer any questions I threw at him with confidence. Moreover, he is an absolute perfectionist and on multiple occasions, he was able to problem solve and modify the original computerized plan when it was not working for me. He is

Dr. Sandman has been my orthodontist throughout my orthognathic treatment. The office is about 45 minutes away from my house and every drive and traffic light was worth it. I have been to my fair share of dental specialists and physicians, and Dr. Sandman and the team are far and away the best. The team works fluidly with each other to make sure you get everything you need. Even when it's a busy day at the office, they make you feel like you are the most important person in the room! Every individual is friendly, kind, and helpful. I could not have asked for better treatment or a better outcome
