Your Smile.Our Passion.

Our Story

Dr. Joshi, Dr. Wilcoxon, and our friendly staff have been serving the Greater Kansas community by providing the highest quality orthodontic care for the past 25+ years. In 2022, Dr. Jay Joshi acquired the practice to continue what Dr. Wilcoxon had started – providing individualized attention and orthodontic care. After working with multiple dental offices, Dr. Joshi realized he wanted his own office to be different from the typical orthodontic office. He wanted to provide an experience that feels organic, positive, and comfortable for both customers and staff. At Stay Smiling Orthodontics, we believe that a happy and inspired team will result in an excellent patient experience. We look forward to meeting your family and showing you how going to an orthodontist can be fun!
