Looking for Orthodontic Services In Santa Barbara or Buellton, California? Here’s what our patients are saying about our doctors and our office:

My son from a very early age had severe overcrowding along with oral defensiveness. That’s not a great combination! Frankly, I was dreading the whole experience because of my son’s oral defensiveness and what that might mean for him. Also, I was adamant about finding an orthodontist that could expand his palate without the need for extraction of permanent teeth. I searched high and low for an orthodontist and staff who understood our needs and would be able to accommodate us. I can’t say enough good things about The Wright Center. During our initial consultation, Dr. Wright included my son in the conversation, putting him at ease and answering all my/his many questions. The office assigned an AMAZING tech to work with my son throughout his entire treatment. That would be Jeana. My son did amazing and this is due to Dr. Wright, Dr. Feusier and his entire staff. Also, they have continually made creative alternatives to get the work done. For example, when the fixed expander was too difficult for my son, they came up with another option that was more work for them, but created the same results. My son is almost done with Phase One and his teeth look amazing. I would highly recommend this office, regardless of whether you have a sensitive child. Dr. Wright’s work is top notch, the wait time is short and the staff is amazing.

We are now on phase 2 of my son’s long orthodontic journey and I can not say enough how wonderful our experience with Wright Orthodontics has been! The staff is kind, friendly and helpful- and Dr. Wright and Dr. Feusier are so knowledgable and have really set my mind at ease! Also, they allowed us to have in-house, no-interest financing that has made this experience totally do-able for our family. I can not give them enough thanks or praise!!

Amazing staff, I can’t thank them enough for helping improve my confidence. Just had my braces taken off and I couldn’t believe the results. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to achieve a great smile. Dr.Feusier did an amazing job, every visit I was well informed, the whole staff was very professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. They made having braces a great experience for me. This is the best orthodontics in Santa Barbara without a doubt.

I had absolutely the best experience during the entire time of wearing my braces. I had very problematic teeth with a lot of crowding and my bite was really off and they successfully turned that mess into gorgeous set of teeth. They are also polite, welcoming, and super organized. I’ve never waited a minute for any of my appointments and I had a lot of them! 🙂 They are also super accommodating when it comes to scheduling appointments and any other questions or concerns you might have. I just felt like they got my back and that they are genuinely invested in the success of the process. Plus, during COVID-19 they took all the precaution measures and I felt super safe there. And they take insurance! I HIGHLY recommend them!

This team exceeded every expectation I could imagine. I walked into this office with twisted teeth and overcrowding. I left with a smile I did not dream possible.

Dr. Wright and Freusier are the most personable doctors I have encountered and their entire team is made up of the friendliest, compassionate people. Jeana and Edgar are special staff highlights as they were so gentle with me and kept up the best conversations. The doctors work as a team, so you get the incredible benefit of TWO professionals. Both were aligned in their process and recommendations ~ but it was so comforting to know I was in the hands of two well established orthodontists.

Dr. Freusier knew it was a challenge for me to switch from clear aligners to braces ~ so he did everything possible to accelerate the treatment. The braces even came off earlier than the initial timeline!

In my final visit, my adult braces were removed and Dr. Wright personally filed my teeth to even perfection. It was dental craftsmanship. I cannot recommend this team enough. I wish they did general dentistry too, I would be a patient for life.

If I could give the Wright and Feusier team 10 out of 5 stars I would! They made my two-year orthodontic journey easy and truly enjoyable. The doctors, hygienists, and staff made me feel comfortable and heard throughout the whole process. They even went out of their way to come into the office on their days off to help me with broken ligatures and poky wires. Special thank you goes out to Jeanna, who was my hygienist from day one and such a pleasure to work with. I deeply appreciate everyone’s hard work and dedication and now have a beautiful smile to show for it!

Our experience with this office was great & I definitely recommend you go to them. Their staff was very friendly and welcoming to our kids & myself. Their office was clean and aesthetically pleasing. My son has a million dollar smile now and we will go to them for our daughter as well. We worked out a payment plan ahead of time. At one point my husband and I didn’t work for a few weeks because my entire family got Covid. They allowed us to skip that payment and add it to the end of our contract. I thought that was very nice. It was super easy to reschedule appointments when things came up, which I really appreciated. The rescheduled appointments would be in the near future, not months out like at my kid’s dentist. These are all the things I love from a office. I’m so glad we found them and stuck with them when originally price shopping around in town.

“Dr. Wright and Dr. Johnny are top notch.  All the assistants are phenomenal.  My teeth are straight.  I couldn’t ask for a better team of professionals.  Everyone is so friendly and nice, from the moment you walk in the door and all the way through.  Thank you all for an amazing experience.  I highly recommend them for orthodontics!”

“The staff are amazing! Willing to work with you in any way. My daughter suffers from Social Anxiety Disorder and does not do well in public. They are so kind and patient with her every time! The doctors are always up beat. They explain every step they are going to take to improve your child’s teeth! I feel blessed that we were sent to this orthodontic office. I recommend them to anyone!”
 – Sandi
“Dr. Wright is an excellent orthodontist! We live over an hour from his Santa Barbara location, so he always fits our son in when he is in Buellton. One time his retainer broke while we were in Disneyland and he fit us in as we drove through Santa Barbara on the way home! I can’t say enough good things about him and his office. He works seamlessly with our insurance company, and his staff is incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable.”
– Julie
“I had braces as a kid, and I let them get all crooked again because I didn’t wear a retainer. Then, as a 27-year-old, I went to Dr Wright to correct my teeth again. I was dreading it, because I remember I hated going to the orthodontist as a kid. Dr. Wright completely changed the way I see orthodontists. I did Invisalign through Dr. Wright, and he was friendly, professional, and kind the entire way through. And, of course, my teeth are now 100% straight.  His staff is also incredible – they always have smiles on their faces and work hard to make their patients smile, too.”
– Dana
“Dr. Feusier and his staff were some of the nicest people I’ve met, and they’ve done a phenomenal job on my smile!  I had issues with my two teeth that sit on either side of my two front ones, which were sitting backwards, causing my two front teeth to look buck, as well as my bottom teeth being extremely crooked.  I had braces on for 7 months and I couldn’t ask for a better smile!  I would recommend seeing Dr. Feusier to absolutely everyone.  Please go to him!” 
– Cortney
“My daughter is 7 and needed early orthodontic treatment due to very prominent front teeth.  Dr. Wright made a point to make a connection with her and address her concerns as well as mine. In her words: “I love my orthodontist. Dr. Wright is awesome!”  My advice is to not wait.  Go have an evaluation so you know your options.”
– Erik
“Everyone there is extremely nice and they make you feel like family.  They worked with me on the financial part of things, setting up a payment plan to make it very easy for me.  My daughter loved going to her appointments.  All of the technicians are so kind and gentle.  They explained everything they were doing, so she was not scared and there were no surprises.  And, now she has a beautiful smile!!”
 – Amy
“At 47 years old, my dentist said I needed braces. Ugh. I picked Dr. Wright because his office was conveniently close to my house and he had nothing but good yelp reviews — and I have nothing but more wonderful things to say!  Every interaction I had with EVERYONE on the staff was a good experience.  Everyone seems happy to work there and it shows.  I can’t say having braces was fun but it was much more pleasant than I expected due to the wonderful treatment I received.  Braces just came off exactly in the time frame they predicted and I am very happy with the results.”
– Heather
“Dr. Wright and his entire staff are the single greatest orthodontic professionals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. My daughter had a variety of issues, which Dr. Wright was able to resolve with such expertise that it amazed me with the final results.  Every single one of the multiple issues that Dr. Wright had to correct was accomplished not only with great expertise, but with such a wonderful and caring manner from a doctor who always made sure we understood exactly what needed to be corrected, how it was going to be corrected, and with each and every single visit both his services and his courtesy made this a wonderful experience.  The cost was very reasonable and well worth it!  Today my daughter walked out with a perfect smile and I walked out knowing that Dr. Wright and his staff are like family.  Thank you so very much!”

“Both my kids and I had our braces done by Dr. Wright. I can’t say enough good things about him or his team.  He doesn’t brag about it, but I notice that he graduated #1 in his class from UCLA dentistry.  If you want someone working on your family’s mouths that will last forever, you want the guy who graduated #1 from UCLA.  The guy that graduated #354 from Hollywood Upstairs Dental School is also called Doctor, but who do you want in your mouth?  Dr. Wright’s staff is top notch also.  My kids had traditional braces and I had Invisalign which is a great option for adults.  Five stars all the way!”
–Mark
“If you’re in the market for an awesome Orthodontist, look no further.  Dr. Wright is professional, kind, funny, considerate and amazingly skilled.  He takes the time to thoroughly explain the process and his work is flawless because he is so detail oriented.  His staff at the office is warm, friendly and gentle, and will work with your schedule and personal needs.  I’m so glad that I chose this practice to have my ortho work.  I think I will actually miss seeing those friendly faces once a month!  I highly recommend Dr. Wright’s practice.”
–Alice
“This office has been an amazing experience for my family.  It was especially convenient that anyone who answered the phone could always answer my questions, whether it be about appointments or billing.  It is very difficult to find a good office in town for dental needs, “Good” meaning the doctor, assistants and the front office.  Thank you!”
–Linda

“I had nothing but a positive experience throughout the whole process of my braces.  I never would have been able to accomplish all those appointments and processes without the kindness, patience and understanding of everyone there.  I felt like I was visiting friends and family each time.  I never waited for my appointment; I was always greeted by my name (with a friendly smile), and received efficient, gentle adjustments each time I was there.  I never felt like I was just another patient.  I am still not used to looking in the mirror and recognizing who that is.  Needless to say, I am forever grateful for all you have given me and I will be thankful for the rest of my life.”
