I cannot recommend. Dr. Richards highly enough!! He and his staff, from the front desk staff to the techs, are amazing!! The nicest group of people that are always willing to work with me and my schedule and listen to my questions. The results are also amazing. I love my teeth and the whole process was so easy. I would see them again for anything related to orthodontic issues. Thank you for taking such good care of me!

We love Dr. Richards and his staff! We have put 5 kids through braces with him. The first orthodontist we went to wanted to pull several of my son’s permanent teeth. We came to Dr. Richard’s because he was able to keep all the teeth and expand his jaw. All 5 of my kids have beautiful smiles now and get compliments on their smiles all the time! We highly recommend Dr. Richards!!

We came to Dr Richards after seeing positive reviews online and because his office is nearby to where we live. We are happy to report that Dr Richards and his staff have lived up to their reputation. He has replaced broken brackets without charge, shown patience, and his staff have been so kind and encouraging as well. My daughter has gone through a lot during the last two years of her life and braces have been challenging because of that… but the environment that Dr Richards and his staff create has made all the difference. We are grateful and very pleased with the results!!!

Dr. Richards is truly wonderful. We had our by far most pleasant and helpful orthodontic experience with Dr. Richards and most highly recommend him and his team. I just wish we had found Dr. Richards’ practice sooner and would have started our children’s orthodontic treatment with them from the beginning.We went to see Dr. Michael Richards for a free consultation as we needed a second opinion concerning our daughter’s orthodontic treatment by another orthodontist. Dr. Richards took his time, thoroughly examining and explaining in detail different treatment options. Not once did Dr. Richards try to make us become his patients. Much rather, he treated us with the utmost integrity and professional ethics. We walked away with the answers we were seeking and, again, wished he had met him and his fabulous staff (his assitant Missy!) much earlier.

My initial impression of this practice is that they really do strive for all around excellence. As a pediatric nurse and a mom of five, I’m very picky with who my children see for healthcare. After several consultations, it was apparent to me that Dr. Richard’s excels in his field. He comes across as extremely knowledgeable and friendly at the same time. I never felt rushed when he consulted with me about my kids, and he took the time to throughly answer all my questions. I also appreciate that did a great job explaining the available treatments in an honest and open way. Staff in this office are welcoming and helpful. The office is immaculately clean with kid/teen friendly vibes. The financial counselor was professional and never pushed for a sale. I’ll update this review when my child finishes his treatment. If you’re looking for a great option for orthodontic work, schedule a consultation and see if it’s a good fit for your family.

I needed some cosmetic work done on my smile and Dr. Richards got me in the next week and I had braces on within the month. He was super easy and communicative throughout the whole process and the whole staff were so kind and friendly. My smile turned out way better than I was anticipating. I would highly recommend Dr. Richards!

Dr Richards was my orthodontist over 20 years ago. I came back for a fix on my bonded permanent retainer. He and staff were all helpful and so great. I would have him do my braces again if I had to do it over and would definitely bring my own children to him.

We have had an amazing experience here. Myself and both kids have completed or are undergoing treatment. Super professional staff, orthodontist is phenomenal. He’s a perfectionist in the best way! Listens to the patients desires and never pushes anything on anyone. I’ve dealt with many orthodontists over my life and Dr Richards is the best!

I came in towards the end of April to get my top permanent retainer fixed by Hannah and she was so kind! She made my experience there positive and made me feel comfortable in what she was doing. She was fun to chat with and got me in and out quickly but efficiently. She really went above and beyond for me, I appreciate the kindness I received 🙂

I had been to the dentist and one of my wires from my permanent retainers popped off and the dentist fixed it. However, it was really tight. I was worried it was going to shift all my front teeth. I stopped at Dr. Richards office he got me right in removed the bonding to release the pressure on my front teeth. He rebounded the wire in the correct position. I was so grateful to have Dr. Richards and his team available to help me when I needed help years after I had my braces off. Thank you all !!

Friendly, courteous staff. They informed me of delays. The staff is great with children. Dr. Richards is knowledgeable and not pushy, he was open to letting my daughter choose her treatment.

Dr. Richards and his team are amazing! After my oldest son finished his braces, I was inspired to get braces at 51 years of age. Now my husband and son are in treatment as well. I completely trust Dr. Richards due to his consciousness and professionalism.
Erin B.
23:31 15 Apr 24
I came to Dr Richards to get a second opinion about treatments for my son’s impacted canines. He spent so much time with us—connecting with my son and me, hearing our concerns, and answering our questions in such a calm, patient, helpful way. He is fantastic. His advice was great, and I’m definitely planning to ditch my current ortho to come to Dr Richards for my son and younger child.

Dr. Richards is great! He did my braces 15 years ago and my smile has help all these years, and when I had a bonded retainer break recently, they helped me out quickly and effectively. He treated my whole family with similarly effective results. Would highly recommend!!
Sondra B.
17:29 05 Mar 24
This was a fabulous dental experience with Dr.Michael Richards and a dental assistant Kayla. The procedure went well and I was so relaxed because of the huge windows and snowy mountains and fun music distracting me from their treatment. Dr. Richards was very engaging in conversation to get to know me and my concerns and professional as he did more work on my permanent retainer. I would highly recommend this office for its friendliness and easy access from covered parking garage. I was able to get in earlier because they also have a cancellation list that one can be put on. That was a wonderful perk! The front desk receptionist was darling as was the office very cheerful and clean!

Dr. Richards is hands down the best orthodontist in the SLC area. There are a lot of practices and doctors to choose from around here. People with lower fees people with higher fees people with huge practices people with smaller practices. If you are searching for the best quality of care, the best value, and a doctor that truly cares about getting you the best results in an efficient amount of time, Dr. Richards is your guy. They are not the cheapest, they are not the most expensive… but I do believe they provide the best value and standard of care. You get what you pay for. Whether you are looking for your child or for yourself as an adult, I would encourage anyone to call this office.

Dr. Richards' attention to detail and commitment to achieving alignment perfection truly shines through in his work. His remarkable ability to notice the smallest details and his precision in orthodontic work truly sets him apart. His keen eye ensures that every aspect of treatment is handled with the utmost care and accuracy. Dr Richards' immaculately clean practice and friendly, helpful demeanor, as well as his amazing staff, make the orthodontic experience not just effective but also comfortable and welcoming. My son just got his braces off and we have had the best experience at Dr Richards Orthodontics. His teeth look incredible and I will only ever trust Dr Richards with my other children who will need orthodontic care in the future.-Emily Leger (somehow my mom's name is showing on the review). 🥰

UPDATE: After I got my braces off my permanent retainer broke and one of my teeth shifted. The staff here were able to get me in very quickly for an appointment. Dr. Richards recommended Invisalign to fix the issue. I just finished my treatment and I’m so happy with how my teeth turned out! The Invisalign process was super fast and all the staff were so helpful during the process. I definitely recommend coming here.

A shout-out to Michael Richards Orthodontics for expert care and exceptional support from the entire team. I felt well-supported during my entire treatment period (even in those times of non-compliance), was especially grateful for the at-home digital scan options. The entire team are experts in their field, well-versed in the latest technologies that improve orthodontic treatment. More important, they truly care about their patients. Thanks for the encouragement, the fun, and the smiles! I'll miss seeing you.

Michael Richards is so amazing! All of the Tech’s were so great as well and I felt like I had a special connection with all of them. Missy, Abby, and Tara were truly top notch. I feel so confident about my smile after just getting my braces off and they really work magic! Best in buis for sure.

As a 60-year-old patient, I am beyond thrilled with the outstanding results I achieved through Invisalign treatment with Dr. Michael Richards and his exceptional office staff and assistants. The process took one year, and I wish I had done this decades ago. Dr. Richards and his team provided me with exceptional care, expertise, and guidance throughout the entire process. They took the time to thoroughly explain the treatment plan and address any concerns I had, making me feel comfortable and at ease. The office staff and assistants were friendly, helpful, and accommodating, creating a warm and welcoming environment that made every visit a pleasure. I am now enjoying a beautiful, straight smile that has transformed my confidence and self-esteem. I highly recommend Dr. Richards and his team to anyone considering Invisalign or other orthodontic treatment, regardless of age. It's never too late to achieve the smile you've always wanted!

In my totally unbiased opinion, Michael Richards orthodontics is awesome. The people here are great, and Michael Richards is a fantastic orthodontist. I have always been afraid of braces, and even though one of my teeth was almost at a 90 degree angle compared to the ones next to it, I was completely uninterested in braces. The tooth was totally straightened within a few months, and my braces haven’t hurt much at all.Great experience so far!!

I am a dentist in Salt Lake City, and I have been referring patients to Dr. Richards for nearly 20 years. I have great respect for Dr. Richards' clinical skills and for the way that he and his staff treat my patients. My patients always return from Dr. Richards' office very happy with the care they've received.I've been so pleased with Dr. Richards' care of my patients that when my own children needed orthodontic treatment, I sent them to Dr. Richards. He and his staff treated my three kids great, and my kids now have confidence when they smile.

The moment you step into Dr. Richard's office, you are greeted with a warm welcome & a smile! Riley is tops when it comes to remembering who you are<3 I love the laid back vibe of the staff. Add their knowledge & expertise --- it's a total win! Dr. Richards is gentle & mindful. I never felt rushed & felt that I could share my concerns easily. He always gave me an explanation or an action that put my mind at ease. They are kind humans who care --- a lot! This is how a dental office should operate <3

They all did a great job helping me get my smile back with aligners. They remembered my name, and we're all very professional. I do feel that they could work on being more understanding and accommodating of sensory issues when discussing plans for retainers after aligners, I chose aligners specifically to accommodate the level of sensory intrusion I experience and felt pressured to chose a permanent retainer instead of removable one that better suits my needs.
Ayden W.
15:56 16 Dec 22
Out of any Dr. I’ve been to, dentists & specialists included, they have to be my favorite. Not only was I here for about 2 years while I had my braces on. But I’ve been back a few times since having my braces off too. Everyone on staff is really friendly and helpful, including Dr. Richards he’s great too. If you’re looking to get braces and are reading this review, I suggest to give them a call. You won’t regret it!All in all, very glad I got my braces with them.

Dr. Richards helped me navigate a double jaw surgery 10 years ago. For such a massive surgery I was amazed how I only had to have braces for 1 year total. He worked seamlessly with the surgeon to make sure everything would align post surgery. I have had no issues at all since, and would recommend this office to anyone and everyone. 5 stars for not only Dr. Richards, but his amazing staff as well. They are very friendly and knowledgeable from beginning to end.

Dr. Richards and his staff are so great. I started going here when I was 7 years old and I always looked forward to visits because the staff was so kind. Recently I had an issue with my retainer and they got me scheduled for an appointment within the next few days. I’m now 23 and Dr. Richards still remembered me and treated me with the same kindness.My teeth have come a long way since I was 7, and that is thanks to Dr. Richards and his amazing team for being efficient and knowledgeable.

Dr. Richards and his staff are so amazing. They are all so great at making their patients feel special... by the end of my treatment, his assistants became my friends. Dr. Richards is very precise and made sure that my teeth were exactly how I wanted them. I am so happy with the results and my new smile. He made my experience as an adult getting braces a great one. I will definitely use him for my kids braces down the road.

I highly recommend Michael Richards!! I had braces in junior high and I had a great experience! My visits were always good and everybody was very friendly.

Such a wonderful team at Michael Richards Orthodontics! I was always kept in the loop on every aspect of the treatment. I had to get jaw surgery that I went into well prepared thanks to the team here. After I had surgery they were so considerate at my appointments to be careful while making adjustments and give me any needed breaks.Dr. Richards is wonderful and extremely skilled. You can be sure that your orthodontic treatment is in great hands.The staff is amazing! They work together well and make it a positive environment.Overall, it was a great experience and I am happy with my results!

I've had plenty of bad experiences with dentists, one including a doc not changing his gloves after working on a patient with cavities and putting his smelly hands straight into my mouth... anyways, so I was nervous about trusting the wrong doctor, especially for an orthodontic treatment. I've been a patient of Dr. Richards for about a year now and I'm beyond satisfied with him. He knows his craft and cares about what he does. He truly is the best orthodondist you can find in northern Utah. I'm glad I did my research and found his clinic.

We love Dr. Richards and staff! My husband and I both got braces in late 2020 and we both recently got them off. I’ve known my husband since we were little kids and in the 20+ years I’ve known him, I’ve seen him smile with his teeth maybe 10 times. Just this last week since he’s gotten his braces off, I’ve seen him smiling constantly! He is beaming! We both have so much more confidence. We are very pleased with the entire staff. We are only sad we won’t see them often anymore.

20:41 23 Jun 22
It’s amazing. I’ve seen so many differences from when I first started 4 years ago, to now and we haven’t done much. I started with an expander and that got my teeth so much straighter just from that. I’m starting my Invisalign retainers right now, and I already see a difference. Best ortho I’ve been too!!

I have 4 kids that have had braces and Dr. Richards is by far the best orthodontist I have ever been to. I took my youngest son to Dr. Richards after his other orthodontist finished his treatment and said he would always have crooked teeth. Dr. Richards told us he could fix his teeth and he did. He did Invisalign and we are super happy with the results.

Dr. Richards and his staff are AMAZING!! He is very detailed in his work and listened to all my concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I'm thrilled with the results I got from going to Dr. Richards's office. I appreciated his perfectionism and honesty from the very beginning. He was interested in me as an individual and concerned with my special needs. I also appreciated the technicians that helped me each visit with my progression. All the staff is very upbeat and happy. You can tell that they like working with each other. Dr. Richards is wonderful and easy to talk to. I'm very glad I decided to get braces and go to Dr. Richards.

I highly recommend Michael Richards! This was my orthodontist when I was a teenager and my visits were always easy and every was friendly. I recently had to visit again to get my permanent retainer put back in and their service is still just as great!

I've had an outstanding experience with the team at Michael Richards Orthodontics. I'm an (older) adult and needed to have my bite realigned after using a number of OTC dental appliances for sleep apnea that caused misalignment. Dr. Richards designed a great plan and put me in aligners, and in just 8 months, I am free and can eat normally again. Plus--my teeth are as straight as any kid's just out of braces, and I'm so happy with my new smile. This is a well-run practice with friendly staff, and they are efficient and timely getting you in and out. Dr. Richards is so kind, gentle and compassionate. I'll be bringing my grandson in soon. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

I adored how communicative and efficient Michael Richards and his staff are! I have trash dental anxiety and they were extremely empathic and patient with me. I got my invisaline done in house with a 100% happiness clause in less than a year for about 1500. Super grateful for their knowledge and friendly service!

I went back to Michael Richards Orthodontics after about 10 years since I got my braces off not knowing that the permanent retainer came unglued, who knows how long. After Dr. Richards looked at what had happened we came to the conclusion that having braces again was the best option. I had the new braces for about 6 months and with the help from Dr. Richards and his team got my smile back to where it was before. He's amazing at his work and very understanding.. even when I was being difficult. I've been a patient since I was about 8 years old and will always go back when I need to or take my children in for braces when the time comes. Thank you for all your hard work and patience!

At 37 years old, I am now able to smile with confidence. All of my expectations were exceeded and I'm so incredibly happy with my results. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Richards and his staff. Dr Richards listened to every concern I had, and there were many, as I am very picky. I love all of the girls in his office and really looked forward to seeing them every visit. I had issues with getting brackets to stay on my crowns and every time I called I was met with such kindness and was fit in to their busy schedule. My son will be in braces soon and I cannot wait to be back in this office.

Can not say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Richards and his staff. He was my ortho when I got braces when I was 13. I am now 31 and still just as pleased as the day I got my braces off with how good my teeth look. Recently my permanent retainer broke so I went back to Dr. Richards to get it fixed. Not only did he fix it, but he took the time to address a slight gap that had developed (due to the perm. retainer breaking) between my two front teeth. He was able to fix that as well and I could not be more happy. His staff is extremely friendly and I enjoyed my whole overall experience. I not only would recommend him to others, but would only consider him for any other orthodontic needs in my future!

I loved my experience with Michael Richards Orthodontics! From my first visit, I felt like Dr. Richards and his staff really listened to me and involved me in the treatment process to make sure I got the results I wanted. Dr. Richards is super friendly and great at what he does. I also love his assistants — they feel like friends at this point!I did traditional braces with ceramic brackets on top and metal brackets on the bottom. I like how inconspicuous the ceramic brackets were. Also, both the Riverton and Salt Lake offices are great, clean facilities.I'm super happy with my smile, which I've been self-conscious about for years! I'd definitely recommend Michael Richards Orthodontics.

I had a great experience with Michael Richards Orthodontics. I went to them for Invisalign for myself after thinking about doing it for years. I am thrilled with the results, and should have done it sooner. They are caring, thorough, professional and do a great job. Thank you Dr. Richards!

Very kind staff, and a doctor that actually asks you questions on how you want your teeth to look and asks your opinion plus offers options on treatment rather than just pulling the “orthodontist card” and saying he knows what’s best. I’ve had a few orthodontists because I have moved during treatment and I appreciate the difference that Dr. Richards makes in my care.

Dr. Michael Richards Orthodontics is amazing!!!! He has done braces for all 6 of my children. He pays close attention to detailed work. We have had various phases of braces with all of them. Some of my children have permanent teeth that are missing. He had a plan and options that made sense, and created fabulous results.His staff are so caring and compassionate. Just this last summer one of my daughters had a pretty intensive office visit. He made sure to personally follow up in the coming week multiple times to make sure she was comfortable.My oldest daughter still to this day said that he gave her the best Christmas present ever. It was just days before the holiday and he decided he wanted to surprise her and take off her braces 2 days before Christmas instead of waiting until January. He is the best.We are almost done with all the kids. Maybe it is time for Dad and Mom to complete round 2 of braces :)I would highly recommend his services. He is competent, precise, kind and in all the work he does he creates beautiful smiles!!

I have been seeing Dr. Michael Richards for over 13 years! I first got my braces on and off with him as a teen and after moving around the country after that and seeing other orthodontists I was always disappointed. When I moved back to Utah I went back to Dr. Richards and he has helped my smile stay perfect for years and years! I always love seeing him and his awesome team because they are careful, thorough and gentle in their craft. Can't say enough great things about Dr. Richards!!!

I went to Dr. Richards for braces 20 years ago, and my teeth are still straight and looking beautiful! I’m so glad I made the decision to get braces, it really helped with my self esteem at the time. I recently had to visit Dr. Richards in the Riverton office again to get new retainer trays, and the office staff were still very helpful and friendly.

After a two and a half year journey, our daughter got her braces off today! Her smile is amazing! This journey required a tremendous amount of gentle patience and sincere care from Michael Richards and his staff. We appreciate their attention to every detail.

After five years of experience with Dr. Richards, I can tell you he is not just the most skilled, thorough, and professional orthodontist in the world--he also has the absolute best staff. Three of my kids have had orthodontic treatment with Michael Richards Orthodontics and we will definitely stay with him for the last two. He and his staff are wonderful, kind human beings who have gone the extra mile so many times to help my kids enjoy their orthodontic experience. They take the time to know and love every patient. My kids look forward to their visits and consider Dr. Richards and his staff trusted friends. They have been amazing at working with my special needs child to help him feel comfortable and in control. Braces has been a positive growing experience for each of my kids, helping them embrace responsibility for their own health. I have seen such personal growth in my oldest son, who just completed his treatment, and I know that the loving, positive relationships that Dr. Richards' office prioritizes have been a key factor in making orthodontia such a positive, empowering experience for him. I highly, highly recommend Michael Richards Orthodontics!

Dr Richards and his staff are so friendly! We have two kids, and my husband in braces now. They were great at getting a plan; the kids started with expanders, and everything has stayed on track. It has been convenient on apts having the kids at the same time, so he can take them all. I can’t wait to see their nice smiles when they get them off soon!

This is my 3rd round of braces. Going into “adult braces” I did my research on what orthodontist would be best. Michael Richards had the best staff and the best plan for what I needed. He definitely takes his time to make sure you are completely happy with your treatment plan and your end results. My smile is so much more perfect than I even imagined it would have been! If you ever ask me who you should go to I will always say Michael Richards! Best experience ever! Thank you for my beautiful smile!

There aren't enough great things I can about Dr. Richards. All three of my kids have been patients of Dr. Richards over the past 10 years. He is innovative, kind and a perfectionist. Isn't that exactly what you want in an orthodontist? My kids smiles are perfect. My daughter has had some unique challenges and he's been able to not only correct those challenges but also has helped in avoiding future surgery. Don't think twice about choosing him as your orthodontist. Thank you Dr. Richards and your amazing staff.

I could not ask for treatment from a better team! Dr. Richards is friendly, personable, and extremely knowledgeable in his field. This is my second time in braces. My first orthodontist (not named) did not catch that my jaw was misaligned. The misalignment has cause my jaw to pop and hurt especially when eating. Dr. Richards and his team have helped me though all the hoops and struggles for my personalised treatment. He is trusted by my entire family as he has done treatment for my mom, and some of my younger siblings. I am so glad that our family found him. I can not thank them enough!

They have a fun playroom that occupies my 3-year-old while we're here. And even a few TVs hooked up to video game consoles for the older kids to play while they wait. We've enjoyed our experience so much we plan to bring the next kiddo in line here for his braces, too!
