Patient Testimonials

My daughter said all the staff were nice, kind, and gentle with her teeth and they did an excellent job!

Great, professional, and calming atmosphere!

Was so easy to get started. Take a few pictures, they emailed back. We were able to make monthly payments. We had put braces on my oldest daughter for a huge chunk of change, somewhere else. I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter ended up on the other side of the state and wanted braces that at VanLaecken their prices were half than what we paid in the past. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating around her college schedule. We are so in love with her beautiful smile.

Everyone is so nice and welcoming here! I really do feel comfortable and safe. Thank you for everything!

Not only did Dr Ryan fix my massive overbite and teeth to look perfect, he also helped both my sisters. Now we are bringing our daughter to VanLaecken to fix her teeth. Have always had such fantastic and friendly care while visiting, and always leave with my questions and concerns answered and listened to. Highly highly recommended anyone looking into orthodontic work to come see them!

Cannot say enough good about them through my daughter’s process! All of the hygienists are so kind and patient! As is Dr Ryan. He went above and beyond for my family. Thank you!

We have had great experiences at this orthodontist location! Friendly staff. Not only do they do quality work, I greatly appreciate their efficiency and not having to wait in the waiting room a long time after check-in. Pam at the front desk is always helpful and friendly. The only thing that would be better is if they had a mobile unit to travel around! Sometimes it stinks driving so far for a 10 minute appointment but that’s our choice to live in small town. 😊

I'm very happy with experience we have been having at VanLaecken Orthodontics in Aberdeen. Very punctual, kind, answered all our questions and listened to any concerns we had.

My daughter had a great experience at Van Laecken Orthodontics. Every employee does their best to make sure you have the best experience possible. They have great service and they take time to explain every step to you. Thank you!

The atmosphere is wonderful and friendly, not snobbish or cold. Questions are answered clearly and results are amazing! The staff is fun and informative!

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!

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!

This is the best place to get braces, with their help my smile is 1000 times better

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!

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!

They are the best!! Staff is always friendly and remember things about what you enjoy to do. Makes you feel so appreciated. 5 ⭐️

Very nice atmosphere and amazing results. Would definitely recommend!

Very friendly people and great results!!

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.

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!

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!

Great people and service!

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!

Staffs are friendly and accommodating. They made the experience easy for me.

Really good and useful

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)

Great service and friendy staff!

VanLacken's are the best! The doctor's listen and have the best interests of the patient.

Can’t say enough good things about their service and work. They are friendly, easy to work with, and provide the best service!

Very honest in their recommendations and do not rush services.
