Dr. Russell Trapnell and Dr. Quintin Rupp have treated thousands of patients and know that each smile — and each treatment — is unique. By taking the time to truly listen to patients and their vision of their ultimate smile, we can identify which treatment option is best for each patient. We know it’s a journey and we’re with you every step of the way to provide the positive office experience and excellent results that we know patients seek in an orthodontic practice. We go the extra mile – just to see you smile!

Dr. Trapnell’s academic achievements include:
