I just completed my Invisalign treatment after about 11 months, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Getting Invisalign later in life (in my 40s) felt a little “late in the game,” but it was absolutely worth it. The difference it made in my smile and confidence is incredible. Dr. Russell was detailed, patient, and clearly an expert in his craft. I really appreciated how he explained each step and made sure everything progressed smoothly. The entire staff was also wonderful. They were friendly, professional, and always made me feel comfortable during each visit. If you’ve been on the fence about Invisalign or think it’s too late to start, I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Highly recommend this office!

I have been going to see Dr. Russel for 7 years, he has always done the best for me and have taken care of me and my teeth. I was there with my braces, when I got my braces off, when I got my permanent retainer and regular retainer. Even when I didn’t wear my retainer, he still did his best to make sure we fix the problem, he put me on Invisalign and golly they worked wonders!!! I was born without two teeth but thanks to him, I was able to get implants because we fixed the gaps so they could be wide enough for new teeth!!! I now feel like a normal person and they were even able to help me when my permanent retainer broke off. I wanna thank everyone who works there. This is the best orthodontist I have ever been to! Thanks to them, I feel comfortable with my smile again. Thank you. Also!!!! Bob is the best dog ever and deserves a raise!!! Every time I came to the orthodontist, bob was there and helped me feel a lot better!!! He is the bestest dog!!! Thank you again!!!

Dr. Russel has provided exceptional care for my daughter’s teeth! He is thoughtful and deliberate with his plan of how to best support her orthodontic needs. I appreciate the way Dr. Russel explains the options and helps us to understand the process of how her orthodontic care will evolve. The atmosphere of the office is friendly, positive, and laid-back, and Dr. Russel brings a light hearted and funny energy to his patients. The staff is kind, warm, and pleasant. The care we have received is top notch! Although we are not yet done with her care, my daughter’s smile already looks beautiful! I will recommend Russel Orthodontics to all of my friends. Thank you!!

Dr. Russell is the best! He makes every visit fun and easy. Even when I wasn’t the most compliant with my treatment, he was still super friendly, accommodating, and encouraging (while keeping me on track). I also have to shout out Adrienne — my favorite technician — who I absolutely love. She made every visit smooth, painless, and so enjoyable. Together they’re an amazing team. He’s truly the GOAT of orthodontics. Highly recommend!

We are so happy with our results with the Invisalign Palatal Expander. Dr. Russell was able to create space without the use of traditional and sometimes cumbersome methods. He uses the latest technology for creating gorgeous smiles. His knowledge of orthodontics and love for the profession are clear when you meet him. He and his wonderful staff make the process fun.

Expect perfection. Nice to work on a plan with the Goat in Invisalign. Some Orthos wouldn't touch me with such a bad cross bite. At my age I just wanted to save function and enamel. Grinding and chipping away, I wanted to save what's left. In the end I achieved that along with a smile everyone can see and love, a bonus. Stick to the plan and use those chewies and you'll get great results. Dr. Russell will make sure if you're patient and listen. After feeling and seeing the results, I'd do it again. Thanks to Dr. Russell and his awesome staff, 🐐 S.S.S.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Russell and his team. From the start, I was struck by how much of an expert he truly is—not just in the technical side of orthodontics, but in the way he applies that expertise to create a smile that’s healthy, sustainable, and built to last a lifetime. It’s one thing to have straight teeth, but it’s another to have them corrected by someone who knows how every adjustment today affects the way your teeth and bite will function years down the road. That kind of foresight only comes from the best of the best. What stood out most to me was the personal touch. Dr. Russell never made me feel like just another patient in the chair. He took the time to explain the “why” behind each step, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about the outcome—not only how my teeth look now, but how they’ll serve me for decades to come. When you’re making an investment in your smile and health, why wouldn’t you want to trust it to someone operating at this level of expertise? Choosing Dr. Russell wasn’t just about fixing my teeth—it was about knowing I was in the hands of someone who takes pride in delivering the very best for his patients.

Dr. Russell is the GOAT. He is a perfectionist and achieves great results! His staff and the head chief, Bob, are extremely attentive, knowledgeable and provide great care. My teenage daughter and I both had Invisalign and have nothing but great things to say about Russell Orthodontics!

Dr Russell is great! He and his staff work diligently to meet our orthodontic needs. Dr. Russell does a thorough exam and is able to design a solution for each of our kids. He and his friendly staff ensure to walk through the process and communicate clearly with us. We are able to see and understand the process and transformation of our kids' orthodontic endeavor.
