After having had the standard silver metal braces as a teenager, as an adult considering braces for the second time around, I did extensive research on the type of braces I wanted. This time, with all the new technology and styles of braces available, I wanted braces that wouldn't be noticeable when I talk or smile. I decided on Damon Clear. Dr. Sandman was the first provider that was on the Damon Doctor Referral page, so I scheduled an appointment for a consultation. From the moment I entered Dr. Sandman's office, I was welcomed by his wonderful office staff. We discussed what orthodontic work and extractions I had as a kid and about a consultation I had as an adult in Manhattan by a very well respected (and very expensive) orthodontist who wanted me to have surgery to correct a bad bite. It would have been a very lengthy and very expensive proposition. It had been such a distressing consult that it took me at least 6 years before seeking out a second opinion! Fortunately, Dr. Sandman saw another approach and instilled in me the confidence to move forward for a fraction of the time and cost. It was the best "yellow pages" referral I ever received! The work took about 18 months from start to finish with monthly to six-week interval visits with minimal discomfort. Dr. Sandman and his attentive staff provided me with outstanding service, My smile is perfectly aligned and my bite is 100% improved. I am so delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend Dr. Sandman to adults and teens alike. I witnessed how they engage with their younger patients and saw the patience they have in explaining how and what they were doing. Dr. Sandman and his dental technicians are magicians with kids. They have a great rapport with all their little (and big) patients alike! You will be beyond delighted should you choose Bergen Orthodontics! read more

Today marked the end of my Invisalign journey with Dr. Sandman and his team. I am over 50 and finally decided that I would take the time and funds to correct my smile. I could not be more thrilled with the results. My son was a patient of Dr. Sandman with beautiful results as well. When I decided that I wanted to move forward in my own smile correction I was intrigued with many of the local area advertisements that came in many forms from post cards in my mail, to banner's on the side of buildings that all stated very affordable rates and speedy correction times. I did my due diligence and had consultations with Four (4) different locations before calling Dr. Sandman's office for an appointment. I was curious why there was a significant difference in costs and promise of time of process. After my collection of information I then made an appointment with Dr. Sandman's office. There was no question after the consultation that I was "going to contract" with Dr. Sandman. His Passion and commitment to his work and the process for his patients is superior-and the difference between an Orthodontist and other options was clearly defined. Each time I had an appointment I was treated like a VIP. Dr. Sandman's team is friendly, welcoming, helpful and professional. Dr. Sandman has an incredible and unparalleled way of speaking to his patients Young and "seasoned". To see his communication with his youthful patients is truly remarkable! To see them smile and feel proud, important and empowered while in his chair made me melt. Now that I have a beautiful smile and my time at Dr. Sandman's office is complete I am trying to figure out how to wiggle my way into more time spent there so I can always feel like the VIP the Dr. Sandman Team made me feel. And now I can smile with confidence! read more

Dr. Sandman is really THE Man! Both of my children's teeth have been in his care for the past few years. It all started with my younger son's cross bite getting fixed, followed by my older son getting braces and then the little guy's braces. Now that they are both past braces, their smiles couldn't be brighter or straighter. Dr. Sandman is a perfectionist, which you want when you are spending all that money for straight teeth. He is not about torturing kids, in fact to minimize the time that the kids are in their braces, he waits until most if not all of their teeth are in before he will put braces on them to start. He has programs in his office (Bracebook) to motivate the kids to take care of their teeth, and they can earn points and prizes. He holds raffles, food drives and contests to keep everyone interested and engaged. AND his office staff is the best too. they are professional and friendly as well as always responsive to concerns and last minute appointments, if needed. Dr. Sandman and all of the staff are friendly, relate well to the kids and make them feel special while they do a great job with their teeth. They always greet everyone with a smile and speak to the kids in plain terms they can understand, being firm when they need to be, but in a nice way! i couldn't say enough nice things about this fabulous orthodontist and his office. We have been very pleased and would highly recommend him to anyone. (that we haven't already recommended him to) read more

Bergen Orthodontics, Dr. Sandman, and his staff are wonderful. I currently have three children under the care of Dr.Sandman and his team. Bergen Orthodontics offers the latest in technology with old fashioned service. When you arrive you are greeted by friendly office staff, then engaged by the pleasant technicians and finally meet the ever sociable Dr. himself. What I like about Dr. Sandman in particular is his interaction with my children. He is fun and funny. And, he speaks with the patient and parent to address their concerns. My kids do not mind going to their orthodontist appointments bar the occasional tightening of the braces. I was particularly touched when I called Dr. Sandman aside to tell him how his work had affected my son who was tight lipped for most photos. I showed him a school photograph, in which my son had a great big toothy brace-filled grin, and I would swear he was as thrilled as I was to see it. His words, 'that's why I do what I do". Bergen Orthodontics definitely has a passion for what they do and I wouldn't bring my kids anywhere else! read more

There aren't enough positive accolades that I can give to Dr. Sandman and his staff. Dr sandman is a genuinely warm and caring orthodontist who makes you feel comfortable right from the start. He completely relates to his patients of all ages. He is a perfectionist and strives for nothing less than the perfect smile for his patients. He demonstrates nothing but care and concern throughout the entire process and he is just as happy as you when the final day arrives for the unveiling of the perfect smile! And the caring does not stop once the braces come off. He continues to stand behind you ensuring everything is properly maintained. To say that he goes above and beyond would be an understatement. My son had damage done to his retainer by his dentist and Dr. Sandman took all the necessary steps and procedures to correct it properly for my son. He did this out of the goodness of his heart. It has been a true pleasure to work with Dr. Sandman. His entire office staff is outstanding, friendly and always willing to help you. Thank you Dr. Sandman for being the BEST! read more

Dear Dr. Sandman and Staff: On behalf of myself, and especially my son, Markus, I want to express our deep appreciation and delight with the completion of Markus' orthodontia treatment. Markus now has an incredible smile. When I remember the condition of his teeth two years ago, it almost brings me tears to see the difference in how perfectly aligned they are now. Growing up, Markus never wanted to smile, but now his smile is big and wide. Thank you for not only changing his smile, but for all the cooperation and assistance we received during the process. Your staff was always accommodating and cooperative. We feel we definitely made the right decision, and it was well worth the effort. Again, please accept our deepest thanks, and best wishes for continued success. Sincerely, Yokasta P. (son Markus Espinal), Age 15 read more

Dr. Sandman is an amazing orthodontist! He has compassion, he is meticulous, and has a great sense of humor. My 3 sons all had braces with Dr. Sandman and they all loved him! My children have three beautiful smiles!!!! My youngest son just got his braces off, and we had some trouble in the beginning with the palate expander that I had wanted to take it out! Dr. Sandman was so reassuring that he would adjust to it and be fine! Well Dr. Sandman was right and I drove this poor doctor crazy about it! He is the best of the best!!!!!! His work is very professional and what I love about Dr. Sandman is that he is very meticulous with his patients, so that they all come out with the best smile!!!! Thank you Dr. Sandman for making all my children come out with beautiful straight teeth! You are the best by far!!!! read more

Dr. Sandman has been my orthodontist throughout my orthognathic treatment. The office is about 45 minutes away from my house and every drive and traffic light was worth it. I have been to my fair share of dental specialists and physicians, and Dr. Sandman and the team are far and away the best. The team works fluidly with each other to make sure you get everything you need. Even when it's a busy day at the office, they make you feel like you are the most important person in the room! Every individual is friendly, kind, and helpful. I could not have asked for better treatment or a better outcome. Now that my braces are off and I'll be visiting less frequently, I am actually sad about it! If you're looking for an orthodontist, look no further than here if you want the best possible care! read more

Just starting out the braces odyssey with my almost 11-year old twins, and we're off to an amazing start with Dr. Sandman! He is calm, assuring, kind and extremely knowledgeable from what we've experienced so far! Absolutely fantastic with kids -- He's also managed to find some of the nicest staff in NJ, resulting in an extremely welcoming, friendly office environment - just what anxious kiddos need in this situation! There's a fun rewards program for taking care of your braces/teeth, in addition to lots of other things to encourage the kids. I have great confidence in Dr Sandman that we'll have great results with a very positive experience! (I should mention that I currently have Invisalign through another orthodontist, so I have a reference point:-) read more

Dr. Sandman and his staff create a great enviroment for their patients. When I got my braces I was very nervous because I did not think they were going to work and I would have them on forever. It was a quick an easy 2 years and I thank Dr. Sandman and his staff for that. They are always so welcoming and caring for their patients. Most doctors want their patients in and out, but thats not the case with Bergen orthodonticts. They give each and every patients all of their attention and are always there to help. Although I do not come in anymore for regular visits and check ups, I know that i am always welcome whenever I have a problem or need something fixed. This is easily the best orthodontist in the area and if you need braces, give Dr, Sandman a try. read more

Drs. Sandman and Levitt are THE orthodontists in Bergen County. My friends and family have gone there and been pleased with their smiles, so we went and are just raving fans! They treated us like family from day one and four years later and three children and one mom later, we have all benefitted from the experience. To any parent reading this, I would say this office is head and shoulders the best orthodontist in town. I would also say that after delaying my own treatment for going on 25 years, I am sorry I waited so long. I've never smiled more.. Thanks Doctor Levitt and Doctor Sandman! Two thumbs WAY up!! read more

All 3 of my kids (including myself) see Dr. Sandman. His work is just as perfect as his personality. However, I must take time to speak about his AMAZING team. My 8 year old daughter would not have made it through her palate expander appointment without KASHA. She is the sweetest, most nurturing, knowledgeable, and kind assistant. Dr. Sandman is so lucky to have her. Dr. Sandman, Kasha, and the rest of the team makes every patient feel like they are the most important one in the room. I recommend Dr. Sandman and his team to every child, adolescent, and child who wants a perfect smile! read more

Dr. Sandman is really amazing!! Not only is he SO talented, he has PERFECT bedside manner. He makes you feel so comfortable, while giving you the most beautiful smile.

He always takes the time to get to know you personally as well as any thoughts, concerns or symptoms you are having. He is really one of a kind, I would recommend him to anyone and I would go back to him always. read more
