He has lived in Albuquerque since 2009 and is a huge fan of New Mexicos weather!
Dr. Trapnell is somewhat of a perfectionist and finds great satisfaction in helping teeth move into exactly the right position for both function and aesthetics. Perhaps even more than that, he loves watching his patients self-confidence increase as their smiles improve with each visit.
He enjoys collaborating with leading orthodontists across the nation to discuss complex treatment, and continually seeks out ways to improve patient care by implementing the most current, effective orthodontic technologies.
Outside the office, Dr. Trapnell loves spending time with his wife and 6 children. Outdoor activities are his favorite; He enjoys riding dirt bikes, hiking, going to the lake, and camping. He also loves listening to and performing all kinds of music, and plays the piano and guitar. He is happiest when he is helping people, and would love to see you in the office.
