Sacks proclaims. “Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than being able to give a person a beautiful, long-lasting, healthy smile.” Dr. Sacks is one of the few practitioners who is a board-certified orthodontist and Diplomate of The American Board of Orthodontics. This status is the result of seven years of advanced training, continuing education and the presentation of treatment results for critical review by a panel of nationally respected peers. “Orthodontic technology has come so far. We’re now able to achieve better results with shorter treatment times and minimal discomfort, all while utilizing unobtrusive, highly aesthetic alternatives to the conventional braces many parents might remember from their own childhoods,” notes Dr. Sacks. Among these various options are Invisalign®, Invisalign Teen® and Incognito braces that go behind the teeth. As an Invisalign® Elite Provider, Dr. Sacks has more Invisalign® experience than 98 percent of doctors throughout the United States. Dr. Sacks is often asked by parents when is the right time to make an orthodontic appointment for their children. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends by age 7. Dr. Sacks elaborates, “Generally a child of that age is too young for comprehensive treatment, but we can often detect a developing problem and possibly intervene with noninvasive measures. We might be able to alleviate and sometimes avoid complex treatment at a later age.” To
