Dr. Matthew Sanders – Placerville Orthodontics

Oh boy! Where do I begin??? First of all — I’m an adult — 37 yrs old when I decided to go back into braces for the 3^rd (eeeeaaack!) time. My Dentist recommended Dr. Sanders as I was previously a patient of Dr. Atkinson who had retired. I am also a unique case as I was going into this third round to have upper & lower jaw surgery with the braces. I was extremely excited to learn that Dr. Sanders specializes in surgery cases and I was on board immediately.
Dr. Sanders is very meticulous in his work. He worked diligently with me, my dentist and my surgeon to make sure my jaw journey would have the best end result. He never rushed the process (although my teeth wouldn’t have allowed that anyway because they were pretty happy where they were to begin with) and was always very positive with me when I had concerns. He even personally called me to calm me down when I was worried about how off my bite was after surgery. This Dr. works magic, let me tell you. My bite was so far off after surgery that I was sure the surgeon messed something up and I’d have to go through that misery once again. He assured me that sometimes after surgery the bite is not where it should be and that he was confident he could make it perfect. It was amazing how quickly my bite changed for the better.
It was quite a process for me and he and his staff were always MORE THAN patient with me. His staff truly are amazing people who are very gentle as well as respectful of everyone’s specific needs. I will hands-​down recommend Dr. Sanders and his team to anyone (young or, in my case, OLD) seeking orthodontia.
I’m now 39 yrs, 5 months old and I got my braces off today! It has been 7 months since my jaw surgery. With how far off my bite was after surgery, I was hoping to get my braces off by my 40^th birthday. Well, Dr. Sanders and his team amazed me and now they’re off much earlier than I had anticipated. Thanks so much Dr. Sanders & team!

Our neighbor was a dentist and he retired a few years ago. He reccommended Dr. Matthew Sanders. We have been very happy with their exceptional care. Dr. Sanders and his staff are very nice and friendly, especially Lisa. We have had a great experience with them and I highly reccomend them to anyone in the area that needs Orthodontics.
