Dr. Ferdinand Sabelis was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, and he knew in high school that he wanted to work in the dental field because of the positive experiences he always had with his own dentist while growing up.
He went to the University of Toronto and earned an Honors Degree in Pharmacology in 1994, and then on to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Sabelis was in his third year of dental school and at the top of his class when one of his instructors suggested that he choose a specialty instead of becoming a general dentist.
Dr. Sabelis spent the following summer volunteering at an orthodontists office and that sealed the deal. He loved the upbeat office atmosphere, as well as working with children and families. He enjoyed witnessing how happy patients were when they got their braces removed. It was rewarding to see all the things an orthodontist did to improve confidence in children and adults.
After earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 1998, Dr. Sabelis pursued an additional two-year residency at Tufts to obtain specialty training in orthodontics. He received several awards in dentistry and orthodontics and was inducted into the National Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon, in 1998.
He also is a musician who plays guitar and writes music. As a teen, Dr. Sabelis earned a spot in a Canadian musical production that included 100 musicians and held performances throughout Canada and parts of the U.S. Heres an insider tip: Dr. Sabelis will play guitar in the office if you ask him!
Since 2000, his practice has solely been orthodontics. Dr. Tiberii is committed to providing the highest level of orthodontic care by instituting the latest technology and techniques. Regularly participating in continuing education courses and seminars, he has the knowledge, passion and commitment to improve the quality of life for every patient in his practice.
Lori has worked in the dental field since 1991. She has been a part of this office for over 20 years as a licensed orthodontic assistant, Professional Relations Coordinator, and Treatment Coordinator. She earned her Dental Assisting Certification from Springfield Technical Community College.
Lori is the liaison between our practice, the patients, and the referring offices. She is responsible for the smooth transition of new patients into our practice by her commitment to clearly presenting the treatment plan options, providing cost estimates, arranging payment plans, and researching insurance coverage for the patients. Lori works closely with the doctor and she will establish a relationship with the patient/parents to ensure they are well informed and their treatment runs smoothly. Lori also executes the marketing activities of our practice for example contests, events and sponsorships.
Lori lives in Ware with her husband, Jason. They have 3 grown daughters (Tasha, AlyssaBeth, & Amanda) and 3 grandchildren (Emylia, Grayson & Ava). When she is not working she is spending time with her family and 3 kitties! Lori loves decorating, antiquing, shopping and being by the water.
Sherri most enjoys helping people with their financial concerns, the fast paced environment and the fun, upbeat atmosphere! The best part is watching the kids grow and gain confidence with their beautiful smiles. When the Invisalign or braces are removed for the grand finale, their faces are priceless.
Sherri is married with 3 beautiful kids, her family travels to the beautiful beaches of Puerto Rico yearly and spends most summers swimming at the lake. Sherri has been a horseback rider her whole life and also enjoys hiking and skiing whenever she has the chance.
Kristen has been working in the dental field for 7 years. Her favorite part of working in orthodontics is getting to know her patients and watching them grow while we give them a new, beautiful smile.
Amy graduated from Springfield Community College in 1996 and has been working as an assistant ever since. Her favorite part of working in the orthodontic office is being part of an awesome team, where they work together to build beautiful smiles. To help improve self-esteem in so many young people really makes a difference. Amy also loves keeping up with the latest technology in the field.

I had my Invisalign treatment done here and I am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Sabelis and his staff did a wonderful job and they are always so friendly, efficient, and professional. I can't thank them enough for giving me the confidence to smile . If you're looking into Invisalign, I highly recommend his office!

Sturbridge Orthodontics will always be recommended by me! I went there over two years ago to begin my journey with braces. I was 18 years old and I never was able to get any orthodontic help when I was younger for personal reasons. They took me in right under their wing and they made the process super easy for me (I needed it to be easy as I was newly an adult ). Two years later, I was able to walk out with my own perfect smile. I can not tell you enough how this has boosted my confidence and how happy I am with the results! If you have the choice to go to Sturbridge Orthodontics, make sure that they're your first choice!

My family have been patients of Dr. Sabelis for many years. He is very knowledgeable and has very patient and caring nature. The office staff and assistants are great as well. This office is always keeping up with the latest and greatest innovations and techniques. Recently, they now offer Damon Braces. I can tell you these are wonderful compared to the brackets with bands/elastics my oldest daughter had on during her treatment. The new Damon Braces make it a lot easier for my teens to really clean their teeth thoroughly. Adjustments are scheduled every 10 weeks rather than every 8 weeks. The best yet is so far my teens have not complained of any pain whatsoever. Today I was able to see a new piece of equipment that digitally takes impressions, no more yucky plaster molds! Thank you for always keeping the patients first Dr. Sabelis!
