Our Story
Built on trust and dedication
Serving families across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles
1975 - Arrival in Amarillo
Dr. “Tony” Harwell (Dr. Anthony’s father) moved from Houston to Amarillo in 1975 and worked one year with Dr. JW Barnett before opening his first practice on Teckla Street.
It was in that very office that Dr. Anthony Harwell, Dr. Tony’s son, discovered his own passion for orthodontics—spending his teenage years in the lab, learning the craft, and building retainers. As demand grew, Dr. Tony expanded the practice into Pampa and Borger, reaching even more families in the region.
1998 - Harwell & Harwell Orthodontics Formed
In 1998, Dr. Anthony Harwell returned to Amarillo to join his father, and together they formed Harwell & Harwell Orthodontics. Over the next decade, they became deeply involved in the community, founding the Harwell & Harwell Orthodontic Scholarship (2002) and launching the Smile 4 Life Amarillo nonprofit chapter. In 2000, they answered the call from local dentists and opened a practice in Guymon, OK to meet the growing need for quality orthodontic care.
