I had the pleasure of working side-by-side with Dr. Null for several years. As a fellow orthodontist, I admire his attention to detail and clinical skills. As I watched him treat patients, it was clear to me that he cares for each one as if they were his own child. Kingwood is lucky to have such a kind, skilled, and dedicated orthodontist!!!

The absolute BEST orthodontist! We don't live close, but I would drive my kiddos the long way just for them to see Dr. Richards and his staff. My kids love them all as well! They are always happy to see us and welcome us personally with a smile every single time we arrive. My kids teeth and smiles turned out even more perfect than I thought possible. We knew exactly what to expect at every appointment. Thank you Dr. Richards and staff for EVERYTHING! I'm actually going to miss seeing all of you on a regular basis!!

My son received excellent care at Richards Orthodontics. His braces were able to be removed earlier than predicted and they are great about working you in if there is ever an issue. Everyone we met on the staff was professional and so nice. We will be choosing this office again for my daughter's orthodontic care. I highly recommend them.

Everything about this practice is exceptional, from the orthodontist to the office staff! Dr. Richards is very personable and genuinely cares for his patients and their families! He takes his craft to the next level, with his precision planning and execution, you can tell he loves what he does and takes pride in his work! The staff is always friendly and helpful! They get to know their patients and makes you feel very comfortable starting at your first visit! I recommend this office to everyone! The office is kept clean and tidy.

Excellent job with my new smile! Exceptional staff and great experience! Dr. Richards is a perfectionist and is really proud of his work. He took great care of my younger brother's teeth also prior to my care. I had a very extensive orthodontic case requiring several years of care as an adult. He was able to do this through orthodontics and minor oral surgery, instead of more extensive corrective jaw surgery. I am very happy with my new smile and highly recommend this office!

I could not ask for a more perfect orthodontist experience! Everyone is so kind and work so well with my crazy college schedule! Dr. Richards listened to all my questions and concerns and made sure to take all of them into consideration when straightening my teeth! They look absolutely amazing.
