Meet The Team

McConnell Orthodontics is a continuation of Anderson Orthodontic Associates started by Dr. McConnell’s father, Dr. B.C. McConnell, Jr., who practiced orthodontics for 42 years before retiring in 2010. Dr. McConnell was very fortunate to work and learn from his father for several years prior to his retirement, thus ensuring the tradition of orthodontic excellence and stellar reputation continued into the next generation. The Team at McConnell Orthodontics is an integral part of the success of the practice. Each member is highly trained in their respective roles and deeply cares for each and every patient. Most of the Team has been on board at least 20+ years, with a couple members approaching 40+ years in the practice! McConnell Orthodontics is truly fortunate to have such a stable, wonderful, and experienced Team which benefits each and every patient.
