Lingual Braces Orthodontist Serving Medina, WA

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

I was referred to Dr. Riolo to help deal with alignment issues that caused serious wear and tear on my teeth. He got me set up with “lingual braces” (behind the teeth) to fix the problem. No one could even tell I had braces! More importantly, he was very responsive to questions and appointments, did high quality work, and got my underlying issue resolved ahead of schedule. I highly recommend his office.

Being hesitant and also anxious to get braces as a 47 year old, Dr Riolo made the decision so easy for me. Its been a pleasure working with him and perfecting my smile. His staff is always very nice and very good at their jobs. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone needing Orthodontics.

As someone who was committed to getting lingual braces, my research made it clear that Dr. Riolo is the foremost expert in Seattle. His name came highly recommended from a couple of my UW friends, and after checking out his website and seeing the convenient location, I knew I had found the right place. Now, at the very end of my two-year treatment, I can confidently say that every bit of hype is absolutely deserved. From the moment you walk in, the staff is so welcoming and kind. It actually made me look forward to my visits (which is saying a lot for orthodontist appointments!). A special shout-out is absolutely necessary for Marlon, who was always there to help me with anything I needed, always with a smile and incredible patience. Thank you, Marlon! Now, for Dr. Riolo himself: he is a true artist and a perfectionist. The lingual braces were the perfect choice—all the power of traditional braces to fix serious alignment issues, but completely invisible. For me, it was a better fit than Invisalign, and I didn’t have to worry about the discipline of trays! Dr. Riolo is incredibly attentive to detail; he wasn't just moving teeth, he was crafting a perfect bite and a beautiful smile line. Every adjustment was precise and thoughtful. He is also wonderfully patient. We spent a lot of time on aftercare planning, and he was super helpful with referrals for a local dentist to make sure everything was coordinated including the extraction plan and everything. I also had a timeline I was hoping to meet, and he was so accommodated to. doc meticulously planned my treatment to expedite things where he safely could, which I am so grateful for. You are in the best hands here. The entire team is professional, warm, and brilliant. If you're considering orthodontic work, look no further than Riolo Orthodontics. Thank you for my new smile! P.S.
