Literally some of the best people I’ve ever encountered. They made my entire experience so easy, and somehow knew exactly what concerns I had before I ever voiced it. My teeth are so straight, it’s almost embarrassing to smile. 16356/10.

I came to Dr. Richards for Invisalign about 12 years after he originally did my braces and I needed a slight adjustment due to not wearing my retainers. They even gave me a $500 discount on my Invisalign due to being a return customer. Very pleased with the result both times. All the staff are very friendly and professional. Special thanks to Ellie and Hannah.

I really cannot say enough good things about Dr. Richards and his staff. I received orthodontic care from him from when I was about 9 to 13 years old, and have only positive memories of how much he cared about me as a patient and how well he and his whole staff treated me throughout my many appointments. Now over 15 years later, I’ve had to go in a couple of times to get new retainers after dental work, etc., and when I go in, he still remembers me from all those years ago and takes the time to catch up. I really appreciate how I can still have a working relationship with his office so many years after being an active patient. All of the staff I’ve interacted with are extremely kind and accommodating. And, on top of the interpersonal positives, I LOVE my teeth!! I am so grateful for the work he did to correct all the functional issues as well as cultivating an aesthetically pleasing smile that I am extremely proud of. I would recommend him to anyone of any age needing orthodontic care!

I went to school with Dr. Richard’s and he was always one of the smartest in the class and a great person. He’s given all of my children beautiful smiles and was even able to quickly straighten my smile with Invisalign in 1 year. His office is friendly, efficient and supportive. I’d definitely recommend Michael Richards Orthodontics!

Two of my children had their braces done by Dr. Richards. He did such an excellent job. It inspired me to get them myself and I am so glad I did!I am sad for my other two children that did not get them done here because we didn't live close at the time. I had to bring one of them to Dr. Richards just to get them "fixed" after a different orthodontist did not do the same top-notch job.Thanks Dr. Richards!!

I just got finished with my second time through Ortho. and Dr. Richards and the entire staff were outstanding!! As an adult seeking my second time through braces and did not want traditional braces again. The staff at Dr. Richard's office was great in walking me through all my options and Dr Richards was very upfront about my shorten roots(which was mostly likely caused by my first time through Ortho treatment as a teenager) and the possibility of failure. Dr Richards did everything diagnostically and reviewed it with me before given me a treatment plan that I was fully on board with. We went with Sparks Invisalign and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!! The Dental Monitoring from home was super easy and convenient. I had support from their dental monitor if I needed it, I could text her at any time through the app. Or if I need them in person, they were more than willing to take me in office! I would 100% recommend Dr. Richards and his staff for your ortho needs you will not regret it!!! My teeth look fabulous!! Thank you Dr. Richards and Team!!

The doctor and staff are SO INCREDIBLY KIND and compassionate, this making a difference. They will worked with my child making them feel comfortable, which is not easy for them to feel with their social anxiety, OCD, ADHD, etc. Their confidence has improved as has their self esteem. The doctor and staff have changed my opinion on the healthcare system and on dentists😅 for the better…so much better. I literally cannot say enough good about them and LITERALLY cannot think of one single negative of our experience there and that is 100% fact. The quality of the work and expertise is second to none and I have been to dentists all over the world. One could not ask for a better practice to be a part of as that’s how you feel; not so much a client but more as a friend.

My daughter recently got her braces off, and the results were top notch! Dr. Richards did an exceptional job, and it's clear to see he treats every patient like family, and provides the best possible care. He was kind and remarkably patient with us, even when we broke protocol, and it cost him extra time and work. To top it off, he is remarkably personable, detail oriented, and engages with each patient like a caring friend. We are very pleased that we chose Dr. Richards to be our orthodontist, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for great care and results.

I have came here many times and they give you wonderful treatments! I honestly cannot thank you guys any more!

Dr. Richards and his staff were very knowledgeable, patient and understanding of my concerns and needs regarding my dental health. I found it to be a rather stress free processing while getting new removable retainers for my teeth. I highly recommend them.

A wonderfully professional, accessible, and enjoyable experience & environment. Michael Richards is a miracle worker for pearly whites.

Ella D.

We have worked with Dr. Richards and his awesome staff through 4 years of braces and the end result was so worth it! They always make you feel at home and comfortable like you’re one of the family while remainingProfessionally yet fun all at once. Always going above and beyond. Definitely will recommend them!

01:47 06 Feb 25

From the very first consultation to the final result, Dr. Richards’ office and team have been nothing short of exceptional. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and always ready to help throughout the entire treatment process. Dr. Richards is incredibly detail-oriented, making sure every aspect of my care was perfect — even more particular than I would have been myself, which really made a difference in the outcome. It’s clear that he not only cares deeply about his patients but also values and respects his team, creating a positive and well-run office environment. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who truly cares and delivers top-notch results, Dr. Richards is the one!

This is such a wonderful clinic! They are so accommodating for appointments or if we just need to pop in quick to fix a bracket. Dr Richards and all his staff are so caring and warm.

Jaclyn C.

21:57 28 Jan 25

My daughter had braces when we moved from Arizona to Utah. I was told by several orthodontists that they couldn’t work with her brackets, they wanted to take them completely off and put new ones on and charge me for a whole new set of braces. After calling around -there were a handful of orthodontists that would work with the brackets she already had on her braces. We went to all three and reading the reviews and stuff. We thought Dr Richard’s was fantastic! Even though he was about 40 minutes from us- her smile was worth it! We really liked Dr. Richards. He was very professional and worked with her brackets, even though it was sometimes a pain. She ended up with a beautiful smile, and we are very grateful!

Bill S.

Today was the day I had my buttons removed and I am beyond grateful and very pleased with the results. Doctor Richards himself is an amazing very knowledgeable individual he knew exactly what I wanted and achieved it in such a short period of time. Hannah was also really great she’s funny and very gentle when it came to filing the buttons off, she helped ease my mind with the way she cares and communicates. Overall a really great office and amazing staff members! I highly recommend 10/10 :)Thank you so so much

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!!

All workers very kind and knowledgeable dr

18:08 01 Aug 24

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!!!

18:15 30 Jul 24

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.

Jane H.

01:01 10 Jul 24

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.

16:56 26 Jun 24

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!

Carri W.

14:40 17 Jun 24

I always felt comfortable and taken care of my the staff and Dr.Michaels. I would recommend Dr.Michael's office for your ortho needs!

John S.

22:32 10 Jun 24

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.

E G

20:52 10 Jun 24

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!

Trevi S.

18:49 05 Jun 24

I recently had an exceptional experience with Dr. Michael Richards and his staff! With my mom He truly listened to both of our concerns and demonstrated outstanding problem-solving skills.

Jessica H.

18:09 05 Jun 24

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 🙂

RaNae G.

18:19 22 May 24

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 !!

Morgan D.

15:24 20 May 24

I have been coming to Michael Richard’s since first needing orthodontic care and haven’t changed doctors since! My older sister has also had all of her work done here and they have done a phenomenal job!

Laura J.

17:07 10 May 24

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.

Kara H.

17:18 22 Apr 24

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.

Jacob E.

20:57 05 Mar 24

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!

18:08 10 Jan 24

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.

B G.

23:14 02 Jan 24

Dr. Richards is an excellent orthodontist. He is very good at explaining care and what needs to be done. Everyone should look for a doctor with his talents.

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). 🥰

18:50 06 Nov 23

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.

Grace Z.

19:22 12 Jul 23

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.

Caroline W.

I have been a longtime patient and mother of patients of Dr. Richards. He is a very caring, conscientious and competent orthodontist. He helped my husband and I with Invisalign and all four of our kids with braces. We are grateful for the many years we have spent in his care.

Jenny C.

22:33 16 May 23

18:23 28 Apr 23

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!

Top notch practice! I was especially impressed by how thoroughly they explained my options to me. They didn’t try to sell me on anything.

James G.

21:42 21 Feb 23

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!!

Demetrius R.

16:53 03 Feb 23

Definitely the best that I've ever come across amazing at what hes able to do. staff is so amazing very kind. Top tier And I've had the privilege to get work done when I was a young teen and very fortunate to be able to get adjustments with him in my adult years !

Michael H.

21:16 01 Feb 23

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.

Cheryl E.

20:49 01 Feb 23

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

Miranda G.

16:45 13 Jan 23

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.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael Richards and his amazing staff. They are my first phone call when I have issues ranging from TMJ, bite, and teeth straightening. They have taken care of my smile for nearly 20 years. The “go to”.

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. Thank you!!

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.

Best ortho ever! Micheal Richards Orhtodonticts was the best because they always made time for me and worked around my busy schedule, they have the nicest nurses, and I loved the finish product!!

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. I recently had to visit again to get a new retainer and their service is still just as great!! It was cool looking at the old pictures of my teeth compared to now! They have improved so much thanks to Michael Richards Orthodontist!!

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!

Wow! Dr. Michael Richards and his staff are amazing. I have three kids in their care with all different needs and they worked their magic on each of them. Dr. Richards cares about each patient and takes the time to understand and get to know them. We are grateful we found him and his team. Thank you!

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’m really glad I got braces at Michael Richards Orthodontist, my teeth are perfect.

Heidi F.

23:41 26 May 22

Dr. Richards and his team are the BEST! I highly recommend them. I’m an adult who got braces during the pandemic because I figured I’m wearing a mask all the time anyway. They are a very competent and caring team.

Travis G.

18:40 22 Mar 22

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.

Brittany D.

17:24 16 Feb 22

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!

Amy P.

Hannah B.

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!

Riley R.

01:47 22 Dec 21

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.

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.

23:13 24 Aug 21

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.

Heidi G.

04:31 22 Aug 21

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!!!

Rhonda T.

23:34 15 Apr 21

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.

Everyone there was very nice and made sure I was doing okay during the whole process with braces. Just got my braces off the other day and couldn't be happier

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. Andrea was especially attentive to our daughter’s needs today, as well as the many others on the staff that have helped her. These are true professionals that you can trust with your care

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!

Lucy B.

Got my braces done here a couple years ago. Within 18 months, I got them off and they’re still looking great to this day! Couldn’t have asked for a better orthodontist.

21:25 29 Nov 20

I had a great experience here! Everything was done quickly and efficiently, and I have no complaints. They were happy to reschedule anytime I needed, and willing to fix all the things I broke. The whole team is amazing, and I love them! I would definitely recommend going here!

Mindie J.

02:42 28 Oct 20

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!

Denise S.

21:48 21 Sep 20

I can't say THANK YOU enough, I got my braces off today and my teeth look fabulous!!! I am so excited to show off my new smile...😁 thank you to Terah for always taking such good care of me at my appointments!💜Would highly recommend!!! Everyone is amazing!

Just got my final set of braces off after 2 years. I've been with Micheal Richards for almost 8 years now with expanders, braces, and everything in between.

Just finished my fourth child's braces with Dr. Richardson. An end of an era! Dr. Richardson runs a top notch, professional practice devoted to customer service and providing excellent care. He is always willing to go the extra step to ensure his patients receive the best care possible. He is a great listener, and has always taken the time to answer my many questions and to make my children feel comfortable. Can't recommend this practice enough!

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!
