Dr. John R. Feusier started his Orthodontic journey working as a part-time assistant for Dr. Wright in his busy Santa Barbara practice while attending UCSB. After graduating with honors from UCSB, Dr. Feusier travelled home to the Bay Area to attend Dental School at the University of the Pacific, and finally on to Baylor College of Dentistry for his residency in Orthodontics.
Dr. Feusier received both his Orthodontic Certificate and his Masters Degree in Oral Biology from Baylor University, after having received extensive training in all aspects of Orthodontics including braces, Invisalign and Surgically-Assisted orthodontics. His training included extensive experience with patients of all ages, and with multiple treatment methods, covering all disciplines of Orthodontic care. He was also a member of the Dallas Childrens Hospital Craniofacial Team, and treated patients living with Cleft Lip and/or Palate and other craniofacial anomalies.
In 2015, Dr. Feusier married his wife, Daniela, an internationally trained dentist whom he met while both were at Baylor. In 2016, Dr. Feusier became board certified through the American Board of Orthodontics, a rare honor among Orthodontic Specialists. When hes not perfecting smiles, Dr. Feusier loves spending time outdoors with his wife and his dog, Cali. He can be found surfing, working out, and singing/songwriting.

The Wright Center for Orthodontics is one of the best offices I have ever been to. 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!! I would recommend Dr. Wright to anyone!

Both of my boys have been patients of Dr Wright. Great staff. Great experience not only for my wife and I but for the kids as well. We live in Santa Ynez so having him come to the valley is extremely helpful with the kids not being out of school for a long time. If we have an emergency they were always willing to see them when we call. My youngest just got his braces off today and his teeth look great. Thanks Dr Wright and staff.

UPDATE: Just got my braces off and oh man do my teeth look amazing! My mouth, jaw, and teeth feel strong and healthy. And they look it too. Dr. Wright and his staff are such an amazing group of hard working individuals. I am so happy with my decision to choose this facility. Their professionalism and knowledge about orthodontics clearly show in my amazing new smile. Original Post: I was super apprehensive to getting braces as an adult. I had braces when I was a kid and remembered how awful the experience was that I was not looking forward to having to wear them again nor visit the dentist every month. When I went in for my first initial consultation I was taken aback by the atmosphere of the office. It was laid back, everyone had smiles, and I felt at ease (no anti-dentist anxiety popping up!) I signed up and within a couple of weeks had my new porcelain braces on. The braces are not as bad as I remember, but I am crediting a large portion of that to the staff and Dr. Wright. I feel confident in knowing that I am in good hands and will be taken care of properly throughout my treatment. I would highly recommend this 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 and 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. His work is beautiful, the wait time is short and the staff is amazing.

We looked all over the area before we found Wright Center-Orthodontics. We are so happy with them. Chad is the nicest guy. Always friendly and smiling. He is always happy to take the time to explain everything so that you can understand exactly how it will all work. The office staff is super friendly also, if you have any problems they will work hard to fit you in as soon as possible. We are so happy we found them, we couldn't ask for a better orthodontist and reasonably priced too!

Since day one our experience with Dr Wright and his staff has been positive. Dr Wright is professional, knowledgeable and takes the time to talk to you. They have two offices available for my family. The offices are clean, professional, and courteous. The office manager is extremely knowledgeable on all fronts. Child number 1 recently had her braces removed and is ecstatic. Child number 2 has just started the process and I believe child number 3 may be fortunate and not require braces. Do not hesitate to visit Dr Wright.

Visits are very efficient and respectful of your time- we are usually in and out within a half-hour, sometimes 20 minutes. The office manager is not only extremely competent, but friendly and helpful as well. And the cost was less than the other office we got a quote from. We have been very happy with Dr. Wright.

Dr. Wright and Gina are the 2 wonderful people I have the delight of seeing every few weeks to get my braces adjusted. Dr. Wright is kind, compassionate and I feel 100% safe and in good hands. Gina is both comforting and a pro at what she does, she always makes sure that I am comfortable and at ease with sometimes tender adjustments. My teeth are beautiful and perfect and I have Gina and Dr. Wright to thank. I look forward to each one of my appointments just so I can see them and speak with Arielle who manages the front desk- she always has a smile and is absolutely wonderful and positive. I feel so supported and cared for by Dr. Wright and his staff. The quality of work is superb and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR EXCELLENT SERVICES. I wouldn't go to any one else. -Skyler
