About ABQ Orthodontics

Out-of-town patients get emergency bracket and retainer repairs, while special-needs and complex adult cases receive extra time and patience here.

Braces are the most common treatment mentioned, and reviews highlight how the practice handles complicated situations - refitting an adult's expander while traveling, repairing a broken bracket after hours for a visitor, and working patiently with special needs patients. Dr. Russell Trapnell and Dr. Quintin Rupp are noted for explaining treatment options and spending extra time on complex adult cases. Reviewers describe closed gaps, resolved overbites and crowding, and Invisalign results, along with a clean, modern office and short wait times at most visits.

Incredible experience from the moment we walked in the door. Beautiful clean office and friendly team members. No delay in getting us seen by the appointment time. Mary was amazing and helped my daughter feel comfortable despite repeated grumblings about having to get braces. Dr. Trapnell was also great in his demeanor and ability to explain my daughter’s treatments needs and options in a way we all understood. My daughter is looking forward to getting her braces now! I can’t thank you enough.

After 4 incredible years as a patient here, I’m so happy to finally write this review. Every single visit was filled with kindness, support, and genuine care from everyone in the office, from the assistants and staff to the dentists themselves. You all made what could have been just a braces journey into such a positive experience that I’ll truly never forget. A special thank you to Dr. Russ Trapnell for always encouraging me, supporting me, and making me feel comfortable every step of the way. Your kindness and positivity meant more to me than you probably realize. I genuinely looked forward to every appointment, and I’m so grateful for the care and love you showed me throughout these past four years. Thank you for giving me a smile and experience I’ll always appreciate.
