My teeth look perfect after my braces!  Braces went by fast and they worked hard to get my braces on in a timely manner. I loved the people there and the service they gave. Thank you so much!!

T. L., Goshen

Dr. Rykovich was recommended by my dentist when I wanted my orthodontic work done.  I was very pleased with the outcome and later trusted him with my children’s teeth. My son has a beautiful smile today and he loves to show it!! Thank you so much.

M.H., Goshen

I was ashamed of my teeth my whole life and never smiled. In just 20 months I had my braces off and now I just can’t stop stop smiling. Thank you for changing my life.

C.H., Mishawaka

Dr. Tom took extra time with my special needs child.  She loves him and going to the orthodontist.

A.F., Mishawaka

Your profession isn’t merely a job, rather it is something that changes the lives of others. Our daughter was painfully shy… and the orthodontic work boosted her self confidence. I now know the benefit which a beautiful smile has on people socially.  Secondly the diagnosis of airway obstruction and surgery not only enhanced her routine breathing but helped her sports performance in track. I hope you feel ownership and also pride in the outcome of you work.
