Riolo Orthodontics in Seattle, WA

Had a little trouble with my fixed retainer, as a traveller. We just walked in and they gladly had a spot for me. Very kind people, we need more of that in this world.

I came to Dr. Riolo after a general dentist attempted to expand my palate at 23 years old and introduced many asymmetries in my face (the picture of me in the purple shirt). In just 2 years, Dr. Riolo was able to finish my treatment and leave me with the beautiful smile I have now. He and his team were able to graciously guide me through the intimidating process of double jaw surgery, and I could not be happier with my results. He and his team are extremely kind, knowledgable, and efficient. I never had to wait for long times at appointments, and I always knew the next step/ had an appt set up before I left the office. It's obvious that Dr. Riolo cares a lot about his patients, his team, and practicing orthodontics at the highest standard. I cannot recommend Dr. Riolo and his team enough; they restored my smile and I absolutely love the result.

If you want braces but don't want anyone to know you have them, this is the place. Dr. Riolo has been doing this a long time and clearly knows what he's doing. My lower teeth were seriously crowded (crooked, overlapping, you name it), but after just 8 weeks in lingual braces they've already opened up and look better than ever, and I'm not even done with treatment yet. I highly recommend this place. My only complaint about Dr. Riolo is that he supports Michigan.

Dr Riolo is the best orthodontist, hands down, I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, and I’ve been to at least 3 different orthodontists with different treatments over many years. I had lingual braces, which I never tried before, but they worked great and nobody ever knew I had them. Dr Riolo doesn’t try to overengineer things, he listens to feedback, and uses the latest technology to really get down to the micro-adjustment level and takes the time to get things absolutely perfect. His staff is awesome too, very kind, very thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. Don’t go anywhere else. Your search is done!

Dr. Riolo and his staff have been great. I wasn’t too interested in getting braces at 50, but after talking with them about their inside braces, I decided to go for it. The first few weeks took a little getting used to, but after that you completely forget they’re there—and the fact that no one can even tell you have them is pretty amazing. I highly recommend Riolo Orthodontics. They’ve been extremely prompt and professional throughout the whole process

My permanent retainer broke at 10:30pm one evening. I am not a client of Mr. Riolo but I found his practice on google, his website mentioned a 24/7 emergency email. I sent him an email because my usual orthodontist is from an entirely different city, closed on weekends, and would take days to get me in, but I urgently needed somebody to remove the loose 1-inch wire hanging in my gums. Sure enough, I received an email from Mr. Riolo at 11:00pm on a Saturday, offering to get me in the next morning. I was in his practice the next morning getting the retainer removed and the concrete cleaned off my teeth. In genuinely one of the nicest things somebody has done for me, Mr. Riolo then told me I did not owe him anything. As of writing this I am in the process of moving which has not been cheap at all and I was very worried about the bill an emergency orthodontics service would cost me. To say I was shocked at being charged nothing is too little. I cannot recommend his practice enough. I also wish to thank the woman who assisted during this, at the same early morning time, I apologize for not remembering your name.

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Riolo and his entire team. From the very beginning, his expertise and forward-thinking approach truly set him apart—especially in recommending lingual braces. Throughout the entire process, no one could tell I was wearing braces, which was incredibly important to me and speaks to the level of precision and care in his work. Beyond the discreet treatment, the results were outstanding. Dr. Riolo and his team did an incredible job aligning my teeth, and I could not be happier with the outcome. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to excellence made the entire experience seamless and reassuring. What makes this practice even more special is the people. Dr. Riolo and his team are not only highly skilled, but genuinely kind, welcoming, and attentive. They create an environment where you feel cared for and supported every step of the way. My sister also had her braces done here and had an equally positive experience. It’s clear that they consistently go above and beyond for their patients. We are both extremely satisfied with the quality of care and results we received. I highly recommend Dr. Riolo for anyone considering orthodontic treatment—he is truly among the best in the field.

Dr. Riolo is the best in Washington state, he explains every single detail and all your questions you have regarding braces. He is super sweet and funny, you won't go wrong going here. The best!!

Dr. Riolo went above and beyond for me and really did a great job. I had a difficult adult case with bite issues and possible jaw surgery. Dr. Riolo worked with me and my dentist over the course of three years and helped me avoid having jaw surgery and ultimately I arrived at an outcome that I am very happy with. During this process, I was able to do all of my treatment using lingual braces and aligners, and because of that, I never had to worry about having any appearance issues while going through treatment. I would highly recommend Dr. Riolo. A+++

Friendly staff, fast and efficient process, my teeth turned out great from the Invisalign
