Our 5-Star Experience

patient TESTIMONIALS

Sander R.
I had a wonderful experience here. The team is incredibly professional and guided me through the next steps for my dental care perfectly. Can't wait to start my treatment with them
Johanna A.
The branch in Aberdeen ensures that the best orthodontic care for my teeth is given and best quality of service is served. Hygienist tried to help me decide the best treatment for my situation. Thanks VanLaeken! See yiu in August.
Alexander L.
I'm in love with this orthodontist, everyone is nice and actually take care of you! I just finished my orthodontist traitment and it was awesome! I will fully recommend you guys to come and give an opportunity to this nice place
Laura B.
Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. Made you feel comfortable every time we visited.
Michele S.
My son had a great experience getting his braces on! Or should I say it was seamless. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with.
Tiffany
I really like VanLaecken Orthodontics in Watertown! Everyone we came in contact with that works there had a smile and seemed genuinely happy. Once the doctor came in, he was quick and thorough while being friendly and hospitable at the same time. He even heard a question I had forgotten to ask him right after I shut the door so he calmly came back in and answered my question without making my child and I feel like we were a bother to him. Definitely somewhere I would recommend anyone! Great hospitality all the way around!
Brandi S.
Fantastic staff! Always welcoming! I'm now on my second child getting braces, and it's been a great experience!
Kayla M.
Vanlaecken Orthodontics has been a great experience for myself and our kids. Everyone is so kind and explains things thoroughly. I have recommended them to many friends looking for orthodontic care. We have seen Dr. Rob and Dr. Ryan and they are very personable and have great “bedside” manner. We appreciate their quality care for our kids.
Sarah S.
My child was very comfortable with the professional and friendly people. Beautiful office. I would definitely recommend this place.
Leisha M.
Always very friendly and knowledgeable. We travel from Sioux Falls and it’s always been worth it as they treat us very well!!
Sarah V.
Our son had a very complex mouth- he spent nearly 3 years in braces, but the care he received at VanLaecken Orthodontics was incredible. From the facilities to the front desk, assistants, and doctors, we could have not asked for better care.
Emily S.
Great experience. Highly recommend VanLaecken for orthodontic needs. My daughter began her journey on March 13, 2024. She got her braces off on June 10, 2026. An amazing transformation!! Thank you so much to everyone at VanLaecken!!
kristin O.
We came in from Houston to visit family and my daughter wire came loose. She was so uncomfortable. Called and they got me in same day and helped us free of charge! Highly recommend! Super sweet staff!
Brittany S.
Very accommodating and friendly. Had a slight emergency with a mouth piece (braces) during holiday weekend and someone met us there to fix it!
Bradley J.
With one son and another one almost done, I can tell you that Van Laecken is top tier for orthodontics. Their communication is great and the treatment results have been fantastic! Thanks so much for the quality care.
