When it comes to dental braces and other ortho-dental treatments, Saks Orthodontics has you covered. Our office in Mooresville, NC takes pride in being there for our community and providing exceptional service. To find out more about our staff and our values, read our team bios below.

Becoming an orthodonist was something that I decided to do very early in life. I always felt that the importance of a having straight teeth and a wonderful smile mean everything in life. I wore braces for several years during my adolescence and was fortunate enough to have several wonderful mentors who guided my career path toward orthordontics. Now I have the pleasure of helping my patients and seeing their self-esteem and confidence transform as they realize their beautiful smiles.

Coming from a family of healthcare providers, I have always valued that aspects of patient care that cannot be taught. I enjoy getting to know each individual that I treat and subsequently learning something unique about that person. I also like to clearly explain a customized diagnosis and treatment plan so that my patients and/or their family can make an informed decision regarding their orthodontic care. My motto is to 'treat each patient like family', so that every person in our office can have complete confidence in our exceptional care.

There are now more treat choices than ever before; from the latest state of the art bracket technology to the simplicity of aligner systems that moves teeth without the use of traditional braces. Due to constantly improving techincal advances in orthodonitces, most people today can be treated in less time and with less discomfort than ever before.

With almost twenty years of experience in orthodontics, technical expertse and a warm personal approach, I will work with each patient individually to help them achieve a beautiful smile, a healthy bite and aesthetics that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.
