PATIENT REVIEWS

Really Thank for you Dr Delplanche and his awesome Team, especially my treatment coordinator Mandy . I have been get many consultation for my teeth problem. Most of them given me the treatment plan only for solve my teeth problem only. Most of them did not consider any risk of overall looking（Aesthetic） which just simple telling me remove the teeth to make more room. Dr Delplanche really telling me the  pro and con of doing each treatment plan.  I think most of customer like me will think about three  parts,  solve any teeth problem, overall looking improvement and cost of treatment. Really appreciated for your time.

Dr. Delplanche is a truly exceptional orthodontist who was very informative throughout the treatment process. He is courteous, easy going with a great sense of humor which made the experience of getting braces feel so comfortable. The staff was amazing, very professional, super helpful, and friendly. Scheduling was easy and patients were seen immediately once checked in. We were provided the upmost care and knowledge you would expect and they all truly made the experience so much fun! If you’re looking for top notch care, I highly recommend Delplanche Orthodontics. They are the very best at what they do.

Delplanche Orthdontics was the best orthodontist treatment I could have asked for. The staff, including Doctor Delplanche and all the assistants, were all friendly and caring and genuinely invested in making sure I got through the process as quickly as possible while still completing all of our objectives. The office itself was very a clean, calming, and friendly environment and the doctor did a great job of making me feel relaxed and walked me through his procedure every visit. Overall a great experience and wonderful staff.

I have been at the Raleigh hills ortho for about three years.  Dr. Delplanche and the staff have made it a fun experience to have braces and they’ve improved my smile and brightened it. I know that sounds crazy but it’s true. At first I was worried about getting braces and possibly headgear and I thought my life was at an end. Dr. Delplanche helped me calm down about the idea of braces and made it seem like a wonderful thing (well cause it is lol). I look back and wonder if I decided to not get braces I definitely wouldn’t be where I am now . The Raleigh Hills Orthodontics is a fun and safe environment and if I knew a friend who needed braces or work done I could point them in the right direction 🙂

I decided to get my first set of braces while college was about to start. When I was told that it would take around 2 and a half years to get them off, I wasn’t too optimistic about it. However, Dr. Delplanche and his staff were kind and open about my concerns which really helped me go through my roughest times. I had to commute 90 minutes from college campus for my appointments, but they understood my circumstances and made sure the scheduling was flexible and suited my needs. I don’t think I would of had the same experience like I had here if I went to a different clinic. The place was warm, welcoming, and I appreciate everything they’ve done for me this past 2 and a half years. I highly recommend Delplanche Orthodontics to anyone who needs an orthodontics to listen to their concerns and work through your problems together.

One down and 2 more to go of my 3 kids to finish. My oldest just recently got his braces off and I can’t be more grateful & thankful to the amazing team at Raleigh Hills Ortho. My oldest went in with a very tuff scenario that I am so thankful and amazed at how it all turned out. Every single person in the office is so nice and considerate. There is just a good atmosphere from the moment you go in. I have also appreciated the good communication and the understanding, kind and helpful way in which they have been with us. Having three kids going through braces and or Invisalign I just can’t say enough about how thankful we are.THANK YOU

I loved my experience with Raleigh Hills Orthodontics. I completed my 18-24 month estimated treatment in 15 months, and ended with a perfect smile! What I really loved about Raleigh Hills Orthodontics was how Dr. Delplanche was driven in perfectionism when it came to the treatment. I especially loved how small the practice was. It felt very intimate and individually oriented. I loved how kind and lovely everyone in the office was. Kell, the clinical assistant, was especially awesome! Thank you, RHO!

Appointments with Raleigh Hills Orthodontics have always been wonderful. Dr. Delplanche, Kell, and the staff are welcoming, friendly, and a joy to be around. Dr. Delplanche is very precise and detailed, and for the past two years appointments have always been on-time. During the pandemic, RHO has also implemented multiple precautions to ensure the safety and health of staff and patients. Raleigh Hills Orthodontics is a great place for orthodontic treatment!

Raleigh Hills Orthodontics is an EXCEPTIONAL ortho office. This is a neighborhood staple run by the charismatic Dr. Delplanche. I wholeheartedly recommend this ortho for both adults and kids. I signed up for a two-year stint of adult braces with Dr. Delplanche because of his thoughtfulness. Dr. Delplanche has superb ‘bedside’ manner – he has a knack for conveying the complexities of a treatment plan in layman’s terms and always met me where I was, emotionally or logistically, e.g. work schedule and life events. This helped me understand why I needed to endure uncomfortable adjustments or wear annoying rubber bands. My choice to go with Dr. Delplanche has proven to be gold over the past two years. No attention is lost on important subtleties, like explaining what will be done in your mouth and how it will feel or sound to you BEFORE proceeding and checking in for discomfort as it is being done. And he has a solid, dry sense of humor which makes a trip to the ortho less stressful. Dr. Delplanche is supported by a phenomenal team of ortho assistants who are friendly and understanding. I was lucky to be cared for by Kels. Kels has been through braces herself – Dr. Delplanche completed her treatment. Kels always took the extra time to prepare and educate me, e.g. how to care for my teeth with braces on board, how much discomfort to expect, what the process would feel like, and answering all my questions which helped me stay with the treatment plan for the long term. Kels provided endless patience and kindness. Echoing Dr. Delplanche’s operating style, the office itself is run very thoughtfully and the small touches really go the extra mile and sets this office above other orthos. For example, the office provides sun glasses which are pre-cut to sit nicely while a patient is lying down, shielding one’s eyes from bright lights. There is a welcome board where new patient’s names are written in. Pre-COVID, there was a fun token program where the patient earns tokens for good ortho habits, e.g. showing up on time, no broken brackets, etc. A great way to engage kids or grown-up kids like me- the tokens were traded in for gift cards at venues like Amazon and Starbucks. Pre-COVID, other small touches include from the Keurig and fig bar snacks provided in the waiting room to free toothbrushes for patients who need a quick brush before an appointment. While the office has adjusted post-COVID to keep patients safe, the procedures and small touches show the level of thoughtfulness and care given to patients. This is a business that knows how to have fun – they show their spirit while celebrating a holiday or promoting a nonprofit cause. For example, for Women’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the staff wore pink and had breast cancer awareness bracelets on. Similarly, the staff all dressed up for Halloween. The doctor goes all out with his outfit and leads the team in style. Wholeheartedly recommend!

We began at this clinic in January 2007 when it was owned by  Dr. Delplanche took over the practice in 2011 when it was then named Raleigh Hills Orthodontics. So, we have been patients for over 10 years! Both my kids had complicated cases and now have gorgeous smiles!! The entire staff is kind, caring and sincere. They are consummate professionals who explain every step of treatment and what could potentially happen along the way. They are great at engaging their patients with contests, games and updates. The incentive program is wonderful and it helps patients stay on track and then get rewarded if they do. Dr. Delplanche is so committed, that he recently met with us at his office well after office hours because we had an “orthodontic emergency”! I have recommended several friends and neighbors to Raleigh Hills Orthodontics and they have been equally impressed and are extremely happy with their treatment and results!

Dr. Delplanche and the staff at Raleigh Hills Orthodontics are truly the best you can find!!! From the very first stage of the journey to straight teeth and a perfectly aligned jaw, we knew we were in great hands!!! My son, Cameron, had a very challenging case that was caused by Marfan Syndrome. Cameron had an extremely high-arched upper pallet and a very short lower jaw. It was so advanced that he only had an upper tooth and a lower tooth on the right side that touched, the rest was an open gap. Cameron had to have treatment in order to be able to chew food. Once the insurance was approved (believe it or not, the insurance denied our request for treatment in 2006, stating that as long as he could take in liquid nutrients he didn’t need the surgery)  – no surgery, no braces, no chewing (eventually). The staff at Raleigh Hills Orthodontics worked with us to provide all the necessary information and the procedures were finally approved we called and had an appointment within days. Dr. Delplanche worked with Dr. Richard Bell at Head and Neck Surgical Associates, the surgeon that would perform Cameron’s orthognathic surgery. We got Cameron into braces in October 2013 and surgery was performed on September 3, 2015. They had to split Cameron’s upper jaw and correct the high-arch and extend the lower jaw to correct the under bite. Trust me, it was hard to see and assist Cameron through this experience, but let me tell you, Dr. Delplanche and his team were right there beside us every step of the way. Cameron’s braces came off October 18, 2016. He is now in retainers. mDr. Delplanche is a true artist, with a gentle, kind soul that strives for perfection!!! His dedication to his craft is evident during the whole process, especially the end result!!! If you have a complicated case or just need to straighten a couple teeth, Dr. Delplanche and his team at Raleigh Hills Orthodontics is the place to go! And they have the best prices and offer lots of finance options. Thank you for helping my son Dr. Delplanche!! You are the best!!!!

I had an amazing experience with Dr Delplanche and his staff members. They changed my life in such a positive way! Kell, his assistant was always so kind and patient. You can tell she loves what she does. His entire staff was always so welcoming. Dr Delplanche genuinely cares for his patients and it shows. I went from never wanting to smile to always wanting to smile now! My teeth look amazing!! Thank you for everything! I’m forever grateful!

Raleigh Hills Orthodontics is wonderful. The consultation appointment with Dr. Delplanche was very informative and fun! The staff is amazing, and they make you feel right at home. After my consult the doctor and I decided that Invisalign was the treatment plan for me and I have my first appointment tomorrow to receive my first set of aligners. I am extremely grateful and excited and can’t wait to start my journey to straight teeth as it has always been a goal of mine to have the perfect smile. Dr. Delplanche really made it possible for me as they were more then willing to work with me financially so I could fit this into my budget. All in all an amazing experience!!

We have had a wonderful experience at RHO with our son and are hoping to begin treatment with our daughter soon! Friendly staff is always so welcoming especially with the younger siblings along for appointments. Dr. Delplanche is professional and personable – our son loves getting to chat with him at his appointments. They are always punctual and our appointments are quick and easy! Thanks for great care RHO!

I originally got my orthodontic work about 18 years ago when I was 12 years old. I finally decided to see Dr. Delplanche a few years back for retainer replacements. He is very honest and professional. He advised me on possibly getting Invisalign due to some teeth shifting and my bite changing over time due to tongue posture. I came back today to address some old concerns and he offered making me a new custom lower retainer to address my concerns without going through Invisalign. He is an amazing orthodontist and his team is very personable. I highly recommend Dr. Delplanche and his office!

My young daughter was referred here by her pediatric dentist because of a molar that couldn’t erupt properly due to it being stuck under the one in front of it. We could not have had a better experience! We ended up going to both locations for her follow up visits and everyone was always so kind and welcoming – Dr. Delplanche, his front office team and the assistants that worked with our daughter. Treatment was explained clearly from the very beginning and we were updated along the way at each visit. I cannot recommend this office enough. We will be following up as she gets older and if more orthodontia is needed, we will be having it done here. Thank you, Raleigh Hills Ortho!

Crazy to think I’m done with my Invisalign treatment, but it honestly couldn’t have gone any better. Really grateful for Dr. Delplanche and the Whole Team for doing what they do but also how they do it. They all just have a great way of communicating to you the importance of what they’re doing and trying to make sure that you’re comfortable throughout it all. It’s been nice having a reason to get out of school early but most importantly meeting some really great people and having fun throughout the process really appreciative of the Raleigh Hills Ortho team.

Dr. Delplanche and everyone in this office have always been so welcoming. I have been with them for almost three years now and when I first came in my teeth were one of my biggest insecurities. I’m happy to say that I’ve found confidence in my smile again, even when I had braces. Everyone made these last three years so much better, the stories while getting my braces tightened or my wire changed were always so fascinating. As well as the detail he goes into explaining exactly what is going to happen with my teeth. Thank you 🙂

I came to Raleigh Hills Ortho almost 2 years ago too date. I remember my first appointment and having Kell take the pictures of my (at the time) very unappealing teeth. Little did I know that Kell would also be taking my pictures two years later but this time my teeth would be something I am proud of. With my final appointment today came the realization of the immense impact that this place and its employees had on me. After getting my braces taken off I’m not ashamed to say I cried a little. The difference in self esteem and overall transformation of my teeth and jaw were mind blowing. I never thought I’d ever have anything close to what I am blessed to have now. Being honest I was not the best patient. I was lazy with my bands at times, ate things I really shouldn’t have, broke quite a few things, and did lots more to make this process harder. Thankfully the team at Raleigh Hills Ortho were forgiving and stuck by my side making sure that I was seen through to the end. Their sense of humor and ease of things made the hassle of adjustments and corrections a lot more enjoyable. I would just like to say thank you to Dr. Delplanche, Kell, and everyone else at Raleigh Hills Ortho who helped me correct my teeth, fix my mistakes, and work with my not so compliant schedule. Undoubtedly a life changing experience made possible by very talented people. Thank you 🙂

I had braces for years, whenever I came in and got them tightened they always welcomed me with smiles. When they were tightening my braces, they always kept me in the loop. They always said what they were doing and why they were doing it. This was nice to know so whenever they needed to use a little more pressure than normal, I was prepared for it and not surprised/scared when it happened. All in all, my whole experience there was great, and I recommend others if they need braces to come here.

The whole team at Raleigh Hills Orthodontics are rock stars! Dr. Delplanche takes the needed time to explain every step and process during each appointment. The supporting staff work as a seamless team making this office operate so efficiently and always with a smile – best result is appointments always start on time! This group is also soooo creative with their social media and contests that patients can enter each time they visit this office. I will continue to recommend RHO as often as I can!

My daughter (age 8) has been a patient for over a year and we’ve been extremely happy with our care so far at Raleigh Hills Ortho. Dr. Delplanche and his staff are always so welcoming, thoroughly explain how Riley is progressing at each visit and they always make it a fun experience. I liked that Dr. Delplanche chose a more conservative approach to Riley’s crowding in her mouth. Instead of immediately pulling out teeth like another ortho recommended before doing braces, Dr. Delplanche recommended using a wait and watch approach, then an expander, and then the braces. So far Riley is doing great. Thanks RH Ortho!

I went to see Dr. Delplanche after my daughter had spoken so highly of him. Now I can speak highly of him!  He solved my problem of needing an appliance at night to keep my top teeth in alignment while my bottom teeth were held captive by an occlusal guard. I came away with just what I needed, a hawley, after having it carefully checked and modified during several attentive visits. Dr. Delplanche and his staff are warm and welcoming. He certainly has a broad base of dental knowledge that he used, in addition to his excellent orthodontic skills, to understand just what my teeth needed.

Both of my kids started treatment with Dr. Delplanche in the summer of 2016. Although my daughter still has a wait for braces, my son started treatment right away and got his braces off this week. Wahoo! I remember when we left our first visit, I was talking to my kids about how nice and friendly everyone in the office was, I might have mentioned how cute Dr. Delplanche is, but my son’s first take away was “Dr. Delplanche seems really smart and knows what he’s doing.” And that is absolutely the truth. I have seen quite a range of kids with orthodontic needs in the office and it is not a one size fits all program. The doctor and staff are very knowledgeable and thoughtfully plan out the best course of treatment for each patient. You will feel comfortable placing your children in their care and the investment into their smiles. Thank you, Raleigh Hills Orthodontics!

I just completed a 2 1/2 year treatment plan at Raleigh Hills Orthodontics and I always enjoyed the times I was with Dr. Delplanche and his staff. The office is run in a very relaxed and friendly manner while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. I was always impressed to hear Dr. Delplanche teaching his staff as he was working but he was also willing to step back and listen to their input and suggestions. That mutual respect was seen throughout the office and it speaks very highly of the character of the entire staff. As an older adult my treatment was painstakingly slow at times but Dr. Delplanche was very patient and methodical and I could not ask for a better result.

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Delplanche for about 2 years now. From your first experience with the front desk you’ll feel like a welcomed part of their family. The staff, is pleasant, professional, and communicate very well. The office is always clean and comfortable. Dr. Delplanche is top notch as a practitioner, and effectively communicates the treatment plan with me and my daughter. I’ve dealt with many medical and dental office over the year and I give Raleigh Hills Orthodontics my highest praise.

First and foremost I would like to start out with say that Raleigh Hills Orthodontics is amazing! Dr. Delplanche has helped mold my smile into something I never thought it would be. Each office visit I am always amazed by the progress I see within my smile and how much closer I am to having the smile I deserve and have always wanted! Also after being a patient for a year and a half I have also grown an awesome relationship with the Dental Assistants Lera and Kell. They always make me feel welcome and always have a smile on their faces and excited to see me and catch up! I have also had the privilege of shadowing alongside Lera and Kell as well as the Doctor himself for my Dental Assisting required hours for school and they were more than accommodating and taught me things about other treatments and not just my own! Because of my awesome experience with Raleigh hills orthodontics I have chosen my career path in College to become a Dental Assistant myself. Thanks so much guys for being someone I can trust to help build the smile I have always wanted!

My son had a very positive experience with Dr Delplanche. We are very happy with the outcome. The doctor and his staff were always very willing to address any concern I may have had at various phases of the treatment. No questions were left unanswered and Dr Delplanche has a way of explaining complex issues in a clear way to profane ears. I found that the scheduling department was always very helpful to find appointments that would work for us. I would definitely recommend this practice, and actually already have.

Look no further, Raleigh Hills Orthodontics will take care of you very well. Great staff; super friendly and flexible.  Dr. Delplanche is really sweet, honest and a great communicator and has a good sense of humor to boot. They engage the kids with incentives making it a positive experience for the entire duration.  We are very happy with the outcome of our eldest daughter and waiting for our younger daughters turn in a few years.

These guys are fantastic! I have had braces for over 4 years before I moved to Portland. I finished treatment at Raleigh Hills, where I was told I would be getting my braces off in a few months. That was way before my last orthodontist had estimated. I actually got my braces off today, and my teeth look absolutely phenomenal! I’m so glad I found this place. Everyone is so friendly and fun. Even though all that’s left to be done is get my retainer, I’ll be coming back with my brother and sister when they have appointments just to say hi and thank everyone for doing such a great job 😀

Really Thank for you Dr Delplanche and his awesome Team, especially my treatment coordinator Mandy . I have been get many consultation for my teeth problem. Most of them given me the treatment plan only for solve my teeth problem only. Most of them did not consider any risk of overall looking（Aesthetic） which just simple telling me remove the teeth to make more room. Dr Delplanche really telling me the pro and con of doing each treatment plan. I think most of customer like me will think about three parts, solve any teeth problem, overall looking improvement and cost of treatment. Really appreciated for your time.

Amazing! I’ve heard some many stories from my friends about how awful their orthodontists were, and I just think every time, oh my gosh I was so lucky. I honestly looked forward to going to Dr. Delplanche and everyone at Raleigh Hills Ortho. The entire staff is kind and knowledgeable, they joke around with each other. They play super fun music and you get coins every time you come that you can trade in for gift cards. I saved enough and actually got a $75 gift to Nordstroms along with a couple others. Not to even mention how great they made my teeth look. Highly recommend!

Dr. Delplanche and his staff spend quality time with you. My son who has been nervous at other medical providers’ offices feels very at ease and comfortable here. I like their comprehensive approach, without rushing into treatment. I decided to take both of my children here and have been extremely happy with the professionalism. Making appointments is a breeze, my questions are always answered in a way that both my ten year old and I both understand. Their billing process was smooth and the staff is knowledgeable.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
