Dr. Russell Sandman

Growing up, I vividly remember how orthodontic treatment transformed my confidence and inspired my dream to help others experience the same joy of a healthy, beautiful smile. I believe everyone – at any age- deserves to feel proud of their smile.

A New Jersey native, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Binghamton University, my Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania, and my Master of Science in Orthodontics from Columbia University. Board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics for nearly two decades, I remain dedicated to lifelong learning and clinical excellence.

I live in Manhattan with my wife, Tamar, and our daughter, Ella. Outside the office, I enjoy fitness, wine blending, and exploring the city’s vibrant arts and culture.

Her research in tooth movement earned the Thomas M. Graber Award from the American Association of Orthodontists in 2021 and was published in the Progress in Orthodontics Journal.

Outside the office, Dr. Kaplan enjoys traveling, running, painting, and spending time with family and friends while helping others achieve healthy, confident smiles.

WHAT SETS US APART

Since 1955, Bergen Orthodontics has earned a reputation in Bergen County, because we always put patients first along with the:

Traditional Metal Braces

Our modern metal braces are crafted from high‑quality stainless steel, making them both strong and comfortable. They work by gently guiding your teeth into place with brackets and archwires. Want to make your smile stand out even more? Personalize your braces with colourful elastics and show off your unique style every time you grin!

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners use a custom series of smooth, virtually invisible trays to gently shift your teeth into place. No brackets or wires needed! Because they’re removable, you can keep enjoying your favourite foods and easily brush and floss without the extra fuss. Plus, their sleek design means no metal, so your treatment stays comfortable from start to finish!

Other Treatments

Other treatments at Bergen Orthodontics address a wide range of needs beyond braces. From sleep apnea therapy and TMJ/TMD relief to surgical orthodontic care, accelerated treatment with VPro/Acceledent, MARPE, TADs, cleft palate cases, and more. We provide expert, personalized solutions to keep your smile healthy, functional, and comfortable.

It’s Easy To Rock a New Smile

Step 1: Request Free Consult

After ensuring adequate pain control and comfort, Your Apple I mplant Practitioners will proceed with the surgery using a 3D printed guide (if it was planned in the initial appointment) during which, an implant is placed in your jawbone and the gum stitched over to allow for a water-tight seal.

Step 2: Select low Monthly payment

After the implant has adequately bonded, you will be re-evaluated and a second minor surgical procedure may be needed to place a healing abutment/tissue former. In some cases, the surgeons are able to place a healing abutment/tissue former at the time of first surgery.

Step 3: sit back, relax & get started

A custom-made replacement tooth crown is made by our lab technicians. In the final step, your custom crown is fastened onto the abutment. The tooth has been replaced without disturbing the healthy teeth next to it and the chances of further bone loss and gum disease have been reduced.
