OUR TECHNOLOGY

Technology has had a huge impact on the care for individuals receiving orthodontic care. The technology we use can get you into treatment faster and help you get out of treatment quicker.

Accelerated options provide easy-to-use non-invasive ways to expedite treatment. VPro technology can reduce discomfort and speed up treatment time by up to 50%.

Accelerated Orthodontics

3D Printing

We will take the projection from our scanner and design a series of clear aligners that fits every groove of your teeth.

iTero Scanner

Not only do you get treated in a fraction of the time, but these scanners are more accurate. You’re guaranteed to get the right fit every time.

Obtaining x-rays of your teeth and mouth digitally uses far less radiation than a traditional x-ray machine and you will be able to see your treatment with before and after images.

Our 5-Star Experience

patient TESTIMONIALS

Rodney H.
The atmosphere is wonderful and friendly, not snobbish or cold. Questions are answered clearly and results are amazing! The staff is fun and informative!
Amanda E.
Very happy with the service we have received at VanLaecken Orthodontics! They are upfront with their pricing, quick at appointments, and friendly! I especially like the appointments they have for kids who are not quite ready for braces, we come in periodically for check ups with no cost and don't feel pressured to start care until fully needed. Highly recommend this office!
Brittany P.
VanLaecken Orthodontics gave my daughters a confident smile and more of a reason to smile!! We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome!
Camden L.
This is the best place to get braces, with their help my smile is 1000 times better
brandon S.
I have not had a bad encounter with VanLaecken staff. They are very welcoming and encouraging. My experience with Invisalign with them has been straightforward, and easy. I’m thankful for them, and recommend them to everyone who needs a straighter smile!
Kasey S.
I can’t say enough good things about VanLaecken Orthodontics. Even coming from someone in the dental field, the level of care here truly stands out. Dr. Ryan has taken care of my kids for years and now is treating me as well. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns, explain options, and make sure I feel comfortable with every step of the process. The entire team is kind, professional, and so great with families. I wouldn’t trust our smiles to anyone else!
Missy R.
They are the best!! Staff is always friendly and remember things about what you enjoy to do. Makes you feel so appreciated. 5 ⭐️
Megan M.
They are very informative and care about their patients. We had a band pop off and they were able to get us in quickly to fix the issue and get us back to our everyday activities. They have made getting braces an easy experience.
Mark H.
We came back to South Dakota to visit family, and on the Saturday morning of Christmas weekend, my son’s palatal expander became partially disconnected. My son couldn’t eat and was in discomfort. VanLaecken Orthodontics was the closest orthodontist we could find. When we called their emergency number, they immediately picked up and answered our questions. Kacie met us at their office and fixed my son’s orthodontic device. She was so patient and calmed my son’s nerves throughout the entire process. The prompt response of the VanLaecken team was outstanding, coming in to help an out-of-towner on a holiday weekend; pure Midwest kindness at VanLaecken!
Zemirrah N.
If I could rate higher I would! I’m from Kansas, had braces on already, and due to lack of communication from my previous orthodontist, no one in Sioux Falls could help me. I had my braces on for 1.5 years without having any service done!! I was freaking out and finally found VanLaken and I seriously couldn’t be happier. They are informative, kind, flexible, GENTLE, and have the patient’s best interest and health in mind, vs other places I’ve visited that seem to only care about money. I didn’t realize how awful and rough my dental/orthodontic experiences in Kansas were until I came here. Life changing in the best way! I’d never go anywhere else after experiencing VanLaken!
Michelle B.
The assistants were very kind and the doctor easily explained what will happen during the process of braces. Excited to see what the end results will look like!
Susanne B.
The nicest and most professional staff made my dream come true with the most beautiful Invisalign adjustment in an only three months easy journey with 6 easy to wear retainers. I am 62 years old and never thought that it would’ve been possible to get my confidence back for a big smile! (the #6 picture still shows the little contact points that will be removed soon)
Karsten F.
VanLacken's are the best! The doctor's listen and have the best interests of the patient.
Jessica B.
Can’t say enough good things about their service and work. They are friendly, easy to work with, and provide the best service!
Marie L.
VanLaecken is so amazing. I love the staff! They are super nice, caring, and they really pay attention to details.
