For two long years, I suffered through the painful process of having braces. After I got my braces off, I thought I would never go back to an orthodontist's office.

But after a nasty car accident, I had so much pain in my jaw, I was looking for anything to make the pain go away.

After some research, I found a six-time Best of Greeley winner to take on my teeth.

I went to Richter Orthodontics in Greeley. Every bad, painful memory I had of an orthodontist's office was erased by Dr. Richter and his team.

When you walk through the doors you're greeted by the smell of freshly-baked cookies, free refreshments and a cozy, clean waiting area. There's even a mini movie theater in the waiting area.

You check in on a touch screen computer and shortly after are greeted by name and taken back to an open work space with comfortable chairs that all have windows with a pleasant view.

The consultation is quick and painless, and treatment is the same manner. Comfort is key with Richter Orthodontics. The staff is informative and understanding (which is important when you're scared of pain).

They helped me with the pain in my jaw by assigning me Invisalign. Ever since I put the first clear teeth trays on my teeth, I haven't hurt.

Teeth are important. They say a lot in two seconds, especially when you're flashing a smile.

If I ever need any more work done — fingers crossed that I don't — I know I can trust Dr. Richter and his team to do wonderful work.
