Dr. Sparks is my son's "braces dentist." My son loves going to the office. I have found Dr. Sparks to be reliable, honest, and personable. My son's orthodontia has been excellent, and the Dr. Sparks checks the fit and of his braces and retainers at every visit, and keeps a sharp eye on the progress. He also explains things. I can't speak to how his fees compare to the market, but we're very pleased with Dr. Sparks. He is definitely worth the money.
