Orthodontics For Your Family
It is important to understand that you’re never too old to improve your smile. We have lots of parents who bring their children to us for treatment and become so pleased with the process that they inquire about braces for themselves, too.
We are proud of the fact that we treat lots of families. We also offer a discount for each family member who goes through treatment.
For those about to rock... we salute you.
In addition to his love for improving smiles, Dr. Sabelis is a musician with a passion for 1980’s rock. Our office is like a miniature rock ‘n’ roll hall of fame with black and white photos of some of Dr. Sabelis’ favorite bands: Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, Nirvana and Bon Jovi, to name a few examples.

FAQ
What is an orthodontist?
Your Orthodontist in Sturbridge is responsible for straightening your crooked teeth or a misaligned bite, among other dental problems. An orthodontist is ultimately responsible for giving you the perfect smile you have always wanted.
Why is orthodontic treatment so important?
Straight teeth are easier to clean, and an aligned bite makes it easier for you to chew and even speak. Having a healthy and straight smile goes hand in hand with having great oral health.
What is the best age to see an orthodontist?
Patients should visit their Sturbridge Orthodontics team by age 7. Other than that, there is no age limit as to when you can visit an orthodontist. Keep in mind that the earlier we see a patient, the easier it will be to correct orthodontic problems.
Can I stop an orthodontic treatment midway?
Although you can, you definitely shouldn’t. A misaligned smile can cause various health issues down the road; furthermore, your dental structures tend to slide back to the wrong position, so you would be better off completing your treatment and receiving the recommended checkups.
Is orthodontic treatment harmful to my teeth?
No, orthodontic treatment in Sturbridge is designed to help you achieve a more esthetically pleasing appearance as well as a healthier mouth and smile. Your jawbone reshapes during your treatment, but we are very careful not to hurt your teeth or jaws.
