I absolutely love practicing orthodontics. I never realized how much I enjoy helping people until I started my practice. It is amazing to see a shy child transform into a confident, smiling teen. I know how they feel. When I was a child, I had severely protruded bucked teeth. I was frequently teased, resulting in poor self-esteem. For me, having orthodontic treatment not only lifted my self-esteem, it literally changed my whole outlook on life. I am truly a blessed person to have discovered the profession of orthodontics.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from theUniversity of California, Irvine. I went to theUniversity of California, San Franciscofor my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I also achieved a Master of Science degree at Baylor College of Dentistry in the Texas A & M University Systemand my research project on early treatment was published in the American Journal of Orthodontics.

The field of orthodontics is constantly changing, and I believe that my patients deserve the newest, most effective care. I am actively involved in continuing education, often attending conferences and lectures in order to be up-to-date with new products, treatments, and techniques that may benefit my patients.

I have the greatest team who shares my passion for helping our patients with their smiles. My assistants are genuinely excited when they see a patient who looks dramatically better or even just displays an improvement in oral hygiene.

I have been in Flower Mound since 1998 so I have witnessed the area really grow up, as well as my two daughters Madeline and Ava! In my free time, I enjoy golf, hockey, poker, yoga, traveling, and fine wine.

Flower Mound Orthodontics is a full-service orthodontics practice in Flower Mound, TX. Dr. Wayne L. Sankey leads a team of professionals who are dedicated to offering comprehensive orthodontic solutions for patients of all ages.

An orthodontist is a highly educated dental professional who has specialized training in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of irregularities in tooth position or jaw development that are affecting the health, function, and aesthetics of a patients natural smile.

All orthodontists are dentists, but only a few of them go on to complete the necessary training and advanced education needed to become orthodontists. Through this training, an orthodontist gains the skills they need to manage tooth movement and guide jaw development. Orthodontists not only do traditional braces but can also provide modern solutions for malocclusion.

Dr Sankey is in the top 1% of Invisalign orthodontic providers in the nation. He completed a post-graduate Orthodontic Residency program to receive his certification as an Orthodontist. This required 2 years of additional training and clinical experience which has prepared him to address the more complex problems affecting the health or function of your smile.

Orthodontics can address a wide range of dental problems, from minor alignment concerns to complex cases of malocclusion. In addition, orthodontics can also address certain types of cosmetic concerns. Dr. Sankey will evaluate your smile and recommend the best treatment option for you.
