Meet Dr. Letitia
Randall, DDS, MS

Dr. Randall is passionate about helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles that spark positivity in the community. She believes that every smile tells a story—and she feels truly honored to be part of that journey. Getting to know each patient on a personal level is one of her favorite parts of the job.

Dr. Randall is a board certified orthodontist, licensed and certified in the state of Michigan. Her education and training include a B.S. from Andrews University, a DDS from Loma Linda University, an Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency at the U.S. Air Force Academy, and a Master of Science in Orthodontics from The Ohio State University.

Fun Facts:

She’s a part-time adventurer who can be found splashing in puddles, hiking the woods, or building epic snow forts with her kids. Her love of bold flavors runs deep—Indian and Korean food are top favorites. And when she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find her jamming with her husband and three kids or dreaming up creative ways to teach gratitude and generosity.

Meet Dr. Brandon
Knapp, DDS, MS

Dr. Knapp loves that every day in orthodontics is a new opportunity to make someone’s day a little brighter. He sees each smile as a unique puzzle and finds real joy in watching confidence grow alongside great results. What he values most? The strong sense of connection shared among patients, doctors, and the entire DRO team.

Dr. Knapp is a licensed orthodontist in the state of Michigan. He earned his B.S.E. and M.S.E. from the University of Michigan, his DDS from Columbia University, and his MS in Orthodontics from Oregon Health & Science University.

Fun facts:

He once played pickup basketball with Michael Jordan (yes,really), grew up as a patient of Dr. Owings, and has a deep love for sci-fi, pizza in all forms, and live music—especially if it pulls him back from outer space.
