A Family Practice, Built on Family Values
Trapnell Orthodontics started with a simple idea: treat every patient the way you'd want your own family treated. That idea has guided the practice since day one, and it still shapes how our Provo office runs today.
Trapnell Orthodontics opened its doors in 1996, right here in Provo, Utah. The practice was started by a group of brothers who grew up fascinated by science, largely thanks to a father who taught biology and encouraged that curiosity early on. Their shared interests eventually pointed them all toward the same field, and orthodontics became a family calling rather than a solo career path.
More than 25 years later, that founding location has grown into four offices across Utah Valley, but the reason patients keep coming back hasn't changed. It's still a family running the practice, still focused on the same thing that mattered in 1996: patients who feel cared for, not just treated.

Our Approach to Care
A beautiful smile does more than improve appearance. It can change how confident someone feels every day, which is why we treat orthodontic care as something worth doing carefully. Our Provo team relies on current orthodontic technology to keep treatment efficient and comfortable, but the technology is only part of the equation. Just as much attention goes into the visit itself, making sure patients feel at ease from the first consultation through the final retainer check.
No two smiles need the same plan, so we build each one around the patient in front of us rather than a one-size-fits-all process.
