We had such a great experience at LaFerla Wilson Ortho office! From the moment we walked in, everyone made us feel welcome and comfortable.
Ashley was great when calling to set up our initial consultation. It was very quick and easy.
A special thank you to Jaydn for being so patient and helpful while explaining everything to us. She took the time to answer questions, explain the process in a way that was easy for both kids and us parents to understand, and made the whole experience much less intimidating.
Dr. Wilson was absolutely fantastic as well! He was so friendly and great with the kiddos. He helped us feel at ease, and it was clear that he has a care plan moving forward.
We are so thankful for such a positive first visit and highly recommend this office to any family looking.

The office was very welcoming when checking in. Jadyn assisted with the appointment for my mom’s consult. She was very nice and friendly. She explained the treatment plan very well along with Dr. LaFerla. Great service.

My daughter got her braces removed today, and her teeth look absolutely amazing! All of the staff have been wonderful, gracious, and accommodating! We have had the best experience with LaFerla Wilson Ortho and would highly recommend it! We will be using services for other children for sure!

We saw Jadyn for a consultation today, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, listened well to our questions, and answered them very thoroughly. She put our son at ease. You guys are so lucky to have her. Our son says “10 stars!”

We had a very difficult experience with a previous ortho, so coming here was emotional for our family. From the very beginning, this office treated us with kindness and compassion. They worked with me financially when they didn’t have to, and after 5 long years of braces, my daughter’s smile finally looks amazing.
Seeing the results honestly brought me to tears. The entire team has been patient, professional, and truly caring through the whole process. We are beyond grateful and finally feel like we found people we could trust. Thank you for giving my daughter her smile back.

About Laferla Wilson Ortho
LaFerla Wilson Orthodontics is an orthodontic practice serving Joplin, Missouri and Pittsburg, Kansas, with its Joplin office located at 2805 East 29th Street. The practice describes itself as hometown orthodontists who have cared for smiles in Joplin and Pittsburg for more than 25 years, with two board-certified orthodontists on staff. Treatment options listed on the practice's website include clear aligners, metal braces, clear braces, orthodontics for kids, teens, and adults, TMJ (jaw joint) treatment, surgical orthodontics, and a retainer subscription program.
New patients can start with a free consultation, either in the office or virtually, and the website notes that digital photos and X-rays are taken at the first visit, with the option to begin braces or clear aligner treatment the same day. The practice's website describes orthodontic services only, such as braces, clear aligners, and TMJ care, and does not mention dental implants, All-on-4, or full-arch treatment, so anyone seeking implant care should look to a general dentist or implant provider.
