We had such a great experience at Rucker Orthodontics today! Both of my boys got their braces on the same day, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. Dr. Ryan was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, patient, and made both boys feel completely comfortable. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming, and a special shoutout to Rosie! She was absolutely amazing and made such a big day for our boys feel easy and exciting.
Julie P.
Very friendly, very clean and professional! Made us feel so comfortable.

We first went to Dr. Rucker for a 2nd opinion for a son, who was told he would have to have 4 adult teeth pulled, because he just didn't have the room in his mouth. Dr. Rucker told us all about the Damon system and how he could accomplish a beautiful smile, not only without pulling teeth, but without a dreaded expander. Shortly after, we took our daughter, who was told she too would need an expander. 2 years later they both have AMAZING smiles and we couldn't be happier. When our 9 year old was dealing with serious overcrowding we knew just where to go. Again, the transformation in 1 year left us speechless. When our 4 year old had a massive overbite from thumb-sucking, back to Rucker we went. Next week, another one of our children will become a Rucker patient. We have total faith and confidence in Dr. Rucker. He is passionate and settles for nothing less than perfection. You are only cheating yourself if you do not go see Dr. Rucker and the incredible work he does. I can not say enough about Dr. Rucker, his staff and the results. Check them out!!
Response from the owner:Elizabeth, One of the elements Dr. Rucker believes in is investing in the latest technology. By doing this he can offer patients different treatment options. Using the Damon System of braces allows us to offer families like yours some pretty major advantages. The results with your children have been awesome. Our Smile Squad is overjoyed that we get to know your entire family. There are many options in Temecula, Wildomar, and Winchester for orthodontic treatment. Thank you for choosing Rucker Orthodontics. The Smile Squad

Wanted to jump in here and leave a review. This place has it dialed in. The office looks great. The staff is very polite and efficient. They have cool merch. I wish I needed bracelets so I could get some. But they are making my kids smile look great. Don’t go anywhere else, this is the spot.
Erica R.
We had an amazing experience today with my daughters’ orthodontist and couldn’t recommend them more highly.The process felt thoughtful, professional, and we felt like they genuinely care about what they do. The entire team was friendly, patient, and great with kids. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made my daughters feel comfortable. It’s rare to find a practice that is truly amazing in every way — the care, the communication and the atmosphere. We’re so grateful and would happily recommend them to any family.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you had a positive experience. We love that we were able to provide you with an amazing experience. Looking forward to seeing you at your next visit!

Fantastic experience for a first time braces wearer! My 10 year old daughter got her braces on today and everyone was so amazingly kind and informative. We’re super excited to see results in the next year! Everybody was super duper nice, and it acutely felt not bad! Felt kinda good getting them on!!!!😁😀
