Michael Richards Orthodontics is proud to be a Platinum provider of Invisalign in Salt Lake City, UT, reflecting our extensive experience and success in transforming smiles with this innovative technology. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are virtually invisible, allowing you to correct your smile without the appearance of metal brackets and wires. The aligners are removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss, thereby promoting better oral hygiene during treatment.

Invisalign’s advanced digital planning tools allow for precise treatment planning and predictable results, ensuring that you achieve the beautiful, balanced smile you desire. The benefits of Invisalign extend beyond aesthetics; many patients find the aligners more comfortable than traditional braces and appreciate the flexibility they offer for their lifestyle.

Braces in Salt Lake City

At Michael Richards Orthodontics, located in the heart of Salt Lake City, UT, we specialize in providing advanced orthodontic solutions, including the latest in self-ligating braces technology. Our practice proudly utilizes Damon Ultima metal braces and Damon clear braces, representing the forefront of orthodontic treatment options. Unlike traditional braces, self-ligating braces use a specialized clip instead of elastics to hold the wire in place. This innovative design allows for greater movement of the teeth, which can reduce overall treatment time and enhance comfort levels.

The benefits of choosing braces for orthodontic treatment extend far beyond straightening teeth. Braces can improve oral health by correcting bite issues and making it easier to clean teeth properly, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Additionally, Damon Ultima and Damon clear braces offer aesthetic alternatives to conventional metal braces, providing options that blend more seamlessly with your natural tooth color. These advanced braces are designed to deliver effective results with less frequent adjustments and fewer visits to the orthodontist, making your path to a perfect smile both convenient and efficient.

José N.
I just finished two years of clear aligners, and I couldn’t be happier with my results! It was such a great experience from start to finish. Dr. Michael Richards and his entire team were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive every step of the way. They always made me feel comfortable, took the time to answer all of my questions, and truly cared about my progress. Thank you for everything!
Jane H.
Our family loves Michael Richards Orthodontist. This staff is so kind and personable. Dr Richards is the best! He is willing to spend the time needed to make sure that we are knowledgeable and comfortable with the treatment we are receiving. Both my son and I are patients and we have nothing bad to say.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jane for this kind message! We are honored we get to treat you and Cash, we always look forward to seeing you in the office!
T R.
Other than Lacy learning her lesson on: "No customer/client is too little, everyone's cash is the same green." Coming from Wall Street, and Financial Field pretty much my whole life, that was the #1 rule I was taught on the first day of my very first job... On top of the professional quality of their service and product, We are more than grateful for Dr. Richards and his staffs' exceptional care to this very day. We are moving, and Dr. Richards and his office of staffs have been extremely kindly, tirelessly and nurturingly exploring all possible options for us, and even went out of their way to care for us...(FYI, for those who don't know: If you move, you don't have to change your doctor, they can monitor and provide necessary cares remotely 😍) To be honest, I have not been an easy patient, yet not once have they expressed any frustration even when they could have... (I.e. If I don't do my part to at least wear the aligners as instructed, how could I expect any positive result of the treatment?) One thing we (my husband and I) could not appreciate more is that Dr. Richards cares about saving you $ more than you do. Something we have not seen in more than a generation... God Bless you, Thank you all again.
Brooke R.
Went here when I was 16, came back at 30 to fix a retainer and it’s still great! Kindest people and great care.
Response from the owner:We are so happy we were able to see you in the office again, we love getting to see old patients! We are happy to help, let us know if you have any issues in the future!
Nick C.
They did a great job fixing my teeth. Not hard to make an appointment when you need to come in. They have coloring pages in the office if you have a velcro girlfriend (or a kid) like me that comes everywhere with you and needs to be occupied. 10/10
Response from the owner:We are so grateful you took the time to write us a review! Come color a coloring page anytime! ;) Go show off your new smile!
Jenna S.
Obsessed with this place. Everything about it is SO good for my son. Won’t go anywhere else for ortho care!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to write this kind note! We love getting to see you and your son in the office and are honored we get to be your office!
Marybeth M.
Been seeing Dr. Richard’s for about three years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Amazing, consistent, and super honest staff. Always appreciate.
Response from the owner:We appreiciate you taking the time to wrtie this in, we are so happy we were able to help you!
Janet L.
Dr. Richards and his colleagues are the best! Dr. Richards is friendly, puts you at ease and knows all there is about orthodontics. He patiently listens to your needs and provides well thought out solutions. I’ve always been happy with the service that I’ve received and at a fair price.
Response from the owner:We are so happy we were able to help you with your retainers! Dr. Richards knows his stuff! Please give us a call if you need anything in the future!
Cassidy O.
These people are the best! I broke my permanent retainer and showed up 5 minutes before they closed. They didn’t hesitate to help me and stayed about an hour after close to fix it. Very nice and very reliable :)
Response from the owner:We are so happy we were able to help you with your retainer! Give us a call any time and we will be happy to help!!
Amy B.
Dr. Richards is the best orthodontist! He is very attentive and is very personable! His knowledge is outstanding! I have recommended many friends and family to him.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for these kinds words! We love helping patients get a perfect smile! Thank you for choosing us!

I came here in with braces because I moved states and my braces were in bad condition.But they repaired my teeth looks like I been going to them the whole time. I am so happy with my smile and have gained a lot of my confidence back. Michael Richard and his staff are the best. They were so welcoming and never judge I don’t what i would’ve done without them.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words Anthony! We are so happy we were able to help you finish your treatment, We werent there at the start, but we are glad we got to be there for the end! Congrats on getting those braces off!
Spencer D.
Now that this is my fifth and final experience with braces, I can honestly say I wish I had brought all of them to your team from the start. The service has been outstanding, and I’m genuinely grateful to have found your practice. I would enthusiastically recommend you to anyone.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us review, we would have loved the honor of treating all of your kids, but we are lucky we got to treat at least one of you!
Jack F.
I look so beautiful now. I think after their service I could actually get married. The best!
Response from the owner:We are so happy you love your smile! Dr. Richards will want an invitation to the wedding ;) Go show off that smile!
Natalie S.
I had a button pop off and was going to be across the country from my normal orthodontists for 6 weeks. Michael Richards orthodontics was so helpful in offering to glue the button back on for me! They saved me from 6 weeks of not being able to wear my elastics! Aside from how helpful they were with this, their office is very nicely decorated and everything clean and new. All the staff were wonderful as well! Haley was so kind and also very quickly was able to put the button back on for me Id highly recommend this place if you’re in need of an orthodontist
Response from the owner:We are so happy we were able to help you with that button! We are always happy to help other aligner patients with their emergencys, thank you for trusting us. If you have any emergencys in the future please do not hesitate to reach out!
Noel M.
Another lovely visit at MRO so I wanted to write a review. What stands out to me is the doctor and staff’s exceptional care and patience with each child in their care. My son has anxiety and sensory processing issues which means he needs to really understand what’s going to happen in his mouth and sometimes take extended breaks while work is being done. The staff is so kind throughout this - taking the extra time to explain, chatting with him while he calms before resuming work. Never once have I felt that they were exasperated or trying to rush during over a year of care. I started watching and listening in at other appointments too - the calm, thoughtful engaging way that Dr Richards has around talking through options - not in a shaming way but in a realistic, here is what’s needed, what can you do way? The practice was also lovely in working with insurance and financing options. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care received.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience at your last appointment, your kind words mean so much to us! We look forward to seeing you for his next appointment!
