Dr. Wise and Dr. Jensen Travel to Boston for the AAO Convention

Dr. Wise and Dr. Jensen of Wise Orthodontics and Stonebridge Orthodontics attended the AAO meeting in Boston. We attended the final lecture of Dr. Vince Kokich, widely considered the finest interdisciplinary teacher of all time. As usual, his material was first rate. Attendees gave him a standing ovation. Also at the AAO were several excellent lectures on cone beam CT imaging. The 3D scans render unparalleled views of teeth and jaw structure. Our office has been using CBCT for over a year now, and we are proud to be offering this advanced diagnostic service to our patients. SureSmile also uses CBCT to treat cases faster and with fewer appointments. We are a SureSmile practice!!

Lots of history was seen in Boston. The Wises traveled to Quincy to see the Adams Family tour. John and John Quincy Adams were actually two of our early presidents who were born in the same house!! But the real force behind their success was John’s wife and John Quincy’s mother, Abigail. She and John reside for all eternity in the stone church on the main square in downtown Quincy. What a sight.

The Freedom Trail was another grand tour we took. The Battle of Bunker Hill actually took place on Breed’s Hill!! I had no idea. No mistake was made; the soldiers in charge just figured (rightly) that Breed’s Hill would be a better hill to defend. And they were right. We lost the battle, but our strong showing helped us win the war against Great Britain.

Get to Know Dr. John Wise, Your Frisco Texas Orthodontist

"Part of being a great orthodontist is being a life-long student. I'm always learning about the latest technical advancements and new research about dental and orthodontic health."

Dr. Wise combines an outstanding orthodontic education with a drive for excellence and new understanding. He's always looking for the best new technologies; for example, Wise Orthodontics and Stonebridge Orthodontics was one of the first in Collin County to offer Invisalign®. Dr. Wise received his DDS from the Baylor College of Dentistry and completed his Orthodontic Residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, is a certified Invisalign provider, and is a guest lecturer at Texas Women's University and Collin County Community College.

"I always ask myself, 'What would I want if I were a patient here?'"

Dr. Wise strives to provide thoughtful patient care, and the results show in his comfortable waiting room, cheerful treatment area, and patient-centered practice. His patients know that he will explain every phase of their treatment and make sure they're comfortable every step of the way.

"We always keep a personal touch. For example, all of our patients have their own 'personal orthodontic assistant' throughout their time with us. That's not only better for the patients, it's better for us - we get a lot of personal satisfaction out of building those relationships."

Dr. Wise has ties to North Texas beyond being Frisco's first orthodontist. He is a 4th-generation native Texan, married to his high-school sweetheart. Dr. Carol Wise is the Director of Molecular Genetics at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas. They have two children, Ben and Madeline, who keep their parents busy with sports, music, and school activities.
