Amanda Wilson, DDS, MDS
CEO & FounderI’m Amanda Wilson, an orthodontist, dental consultant, and dental advisor. After 10 years in private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, I created StraightSmile Solutions®; an orthodontic consulting company that directly services primary care dentists and their unique needs. I consult on any orthodontic service, process, vendor, or procedure but ultimately my core values are airway focused (AirwayDontics™), non-extraction, non-surgical, early orthodontic treatment (My Phase 1 Smile™). I was inspired to start this business after I met my husband, a general dentist, in dental school at UCSF. He inquired about adding ortho to his menu of services and asked me which course he should take. I took a deep dive, and I was appalled by the lack of quality, airway focused, holistic, comprehensive orthodontic education for General and Pediatric Dentists. I’ve always loved to teach, and I thought I could help save lives and airways by not only teaching primary-care, oral physicians how to do ortho the RIGHT way, but also making the process efficient and productive. On a personal note, I live in Honolulu and I love spending time with my husband and my teenage kids. I love the flexibility of orthodontic coaching because it allows me to travel with my kids who are both nationally ranked, competitive swimmers. Evan (19 years old) is aiming for 2028 Olympic Trials and Olivia (16 years old), isn’t too far behind him. Supporting my small business makes this dream possible for our ohana. Mahalo! I am a proud member of the neurodivergent community. This rare, genetic trait gives me special skills in spatial and pattern recognition, which allows me to quickly analyze a patient’s malocclusion. A very small population of females have this gift and I am honored to share it with other doctors. It also makes me fun and quirky. If you’d like to learn ortho from someone like me, I’d love to teach you! Book a free, non-clinical consultation today!
