Father-son orthodontics team serves New York

Dr. Terry Sobler has been practicing for more than 40 years. Despite — or because of – these four decades, the Soblers aim to utilize the most up-to-date and advanced orthodontic technology, including the Roth/Williams method of treatment, laser dentistry, craniofacial treatments, lingual braces and cleft palate treatments.

One of Dr. Terry Sobler’s highest honors came in 1981, when he became a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Less than 20 percent of practicing orthodontists have completed the rigorous requirements to become a diplomate of the ABO.

“He’s definitely still in the mix, and he stays on top of things,” Ian Sobler said. “He’s not going anywhere. It’s a nice blend of old school and new school.”

Dr. Ian Sobler was awarded Align Technology’s Invisalign Leader Award for having treated the most successful Invisalign cases and was the chief resident at New York University’s orthodontics program.

Being involved in serving the community is another important component of Sobler Orthodontics.

Both Soblers are consultants for the Camp Jawonio Cranio-facial Anomalies Center and REFUAH health center.

“We treat most of the special needs patients in the county, focusing on cleft palates,” Ian Sobler said. “We serve with Jawonio as the only orthodontists on that team. We donate our time there because we really believe that anyone can and should be treated.”

Jawonio is a provider of lifespan services in the Hudson Valley for people with developmental disabilities, mental illness and chronic health needs. For more than 60 years, Jawonio has provided support and services for individuals with developmental disabilities and special needs throughout the lower Hudson Valley and Northern New Jersey.

In addition to their philanthropic efforts, the Soblers stay abreast of orthodontic trends and news in a number of organizations.

Dr. Terry Sobler is a member of the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics, the American Association of Orthodontists, Northeastern Society of Orthodontists (NESO) and the New Conn Orthodontic Foundation. He has served as past president of the Rockland County Dental Society and former president of the New Conn. Orthodontic Foundation. He also serves as a clinical faculty member at NYU College of Dentistry, department of Orthodontics and Dento-facial Orthopedics, and is a consultant for the Montefiore Medical Center Cranio-facial Anomalies Center.
