Melissa D.
I can’t say enough great things about VanLaecken Orthodontics and their amazing team. My smile started as an 11 out of 10 on the "hard to correct" scale, but they tackled it with such expertise, care, and dedication that I’m still in awe of the results.

From day one, they made me feel confident and comfortable with the process. The entire crew goes above and beyond—not just in their orthodontic skills but also in creating a supportive, welcoming environment. They patiently answered all my questions, worked around my schedule, and cheered me on every step of the way.

Very professional, organized, helpful, and informed. I never feel like my time is wasted.

I got invisilign with vanlaecken, and I really enjoy my teeth. My teeth were over corrected a few times which had to be fixed. But other than that great people and I loved my service
Stella B.
I got invisilign here and I do love how my teeth look, although my teeth were overcorrected a few times and had to be readjusted, which took extra time and got a bit annoying. But overall the app was pretty helpful and the people were friendly.
Kat R.

Best place to get your teeth straight, friendly staff and excellent orthodontists ! I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Hadassah “Tina McDoodle” J.
Great service and atmosphere! I always feel taken care of and they frequently ask if anything needs to be adjusted to make my experience more comfortable or enjoyable:) One of the doctors even has some cringy dad jokes 😂 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a new orthodontist. Plus, they have some fun contests they do sometimes. Overall, I rate them two enthusiastic thumbs up 👍 👍
