About Stay Smiling Orthodontics
Dr. Jay Joshi is repeatedly credited with resolving complex TMJ, bite, and surgical cases that other providers had declined or referred out.
Reviews describe Dr. Jay Joshi, who took over the practice from Dr. Wilcoxin and continued care through the transition, tackling complicated bite and jaw cases with Invisalign, self-ligating braces, and surgical orthodontics rather than defaulting to extractions or surgery. Several notes mention correcting overbites, underbites, and crossbites that other offices had said would require surgery, along with resolving jaw pain and preparing patients for jaw surgery when needed. Families also point to early treatment with expanders addressing crowding or mouth breathing in young children, and a number of patients transferring mid-treatment from other practices. Staff are described as attentive with anxious patients and children across multiple visits.

My daughter had a great experience with Dr Jay and his staff. Everyone is so kind and the office has a positive energy. Her teeth look great now!
Glad they have two locations opened up! Such a cool crew and just overall good experience transferring from another location, they gave me the results I was looking forward to. Happy to have had them out, I was afraid because I had a particular type of bracket but they found Dr and he did amazing. Made me feel like family! :)
The other 5 star reviews are real, I can confirm! I went in yesterday for just a consultation and walked out with braces on! Dr. Joshi is a genius, watching and listening to him formulate a plan had me in a trance haha he did it so quickly!! I can't thank him or his team enough for being so supportive during this process. If you are looking for a great orthodontist in the Overland Park area (and now Lenexa ;)) take a visit to stay smiling, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I'm so excited to continue this process with an amazıng supportive team <3
I can’t thank Dr. Joshi and the entire orthodontic team enough for the care and patience they showed me throughout my journey. From the very beginning, I always felt welcomed and supported. Dr. Joshi and Maria were incredibly kind and gentle, and they always made me feel comfortable no matter what stage of treatment I was in! Komal was also amazing—always so understanding with my schedule and flexible whenever I needed to reschedule. That kind of kindness truly made a difference in my experience 🥹 My teeth were very very stubborn and it felt like a long journey, but they never gave up on me. Instead, they stayed patient, encouraging, and committed until we got the result I had always hoped for. Today, I’m so grateful and emotional seeing my smile. I will always appreciate everything they did for me and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to feel truly cared for while improving their smile!! Never too late.
I had such a great first visit at Stay Smiling Orthodontics for my Invisalign trays! From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease. The entire team communicated everything clearly and walked me through the process step by step, so I always knew what to expect. I also really appreciated how patient and solution-oriented they were with all of my questions and concerns. They took the time to problem solve and make sure everything fit comfortably before I left. The whole experience felt organized, supportive, and genuinely caring. I’m excited to continue my Invisalign journey with them!
