I highly recommend Sugar Creek Orthodontics. The staff is all very friendly, and Dr. Betsy is great. 2 of my children have already completed their orthodontic treatment, and their teeth look perfect. My 3rd child will be starting his braces soon. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Ulrich and her entire team. From the very beginning, they have been friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly organized, which makes every visit smooth and stress-free. Our son first came here when he was younger for a palatal expander, and now we’re back for braces. Throughout both phases of treatment, we’ve always felt like they truly prioritize what’s best for the patient. They carefully plan each step with the goal of achieving great results while not keeping kids in braces any longer than necessary. What really stands out is how well they connect with their patients. They take the time to explain things, make kids feel comfortable, and create a positive experience every time we walk through the door. We’re so grateful to be in their care and would highly recommend Dr. Ulrich’s office to anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality orthodontic treatment.
