Dr. Brandon M. Wainwright was born and raised in the Quad Cities, attending Riverdale schools in Port Byron, Illinois, K - 12. He served in the National Guard for 6 years as a means to help afford college. After receiving his undergraduate degree from Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois he completed his dental and orthodontic training at Howard University in Washington, DC.  Dr. Wainwright is an American Board Certified Orthodontist. He currently lives in Port Byron with his wife Amy and their three children.

Dr. Wainwright is a member of the Rock Island District Dental Society, Davenport District Dental Society, Chicago Dental Society, American Dental Association, Illinois Society of Orthodontists, Midwestern Society of Orthodontists, American Association of Orthodontists, and the Student Clinicians of the American Dental Association. Dr. Wainwright enjoys contributing to the Volunteer Care Network, Give Kids a Smile, and many other local organizations.

At 13 years of age, as a young orthodontic patient, Dr. Wainwright envisioned himself working as an orthodontist, and persistently pursued this goal. Before leaving for dental school, he looked at a map of the Quad Cities and told himself and some friends when he came back to this area, he wanted to open his orthodontic practice at the base of the I-80 bridge on the Iowa side of the Mississippi river. This year, he and his pediatric dental partners, Dr.'s Chris and Matt Cannon, opened Riverview Dental Specialists in that very location.

In his free time Dr. Wainwright enjoys home remodeling, garage time (where he works on cars as a hobby), fishing, shooting, biking, and of course, spending time with his wife and their children. One of his more rewarding extra-curricular activities is coaching wrestling for pre-high school kids during wrestling season.
