Meet Dr. Joshua Whetten
Upon completing my education in biological sciences at the University of Utah, I obtained my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Creighton University and completed my general residency at Peninsula Hospital in Queens, New York. I then received my Masters in Orthodontics (MSc) from the University of Alberta. I am also a proud member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) as well as the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists (MSO).
Fun fact: My family roots originate in the Midwest! I was born in Omaha, Nebraska where my father, now a retired orthodontist, was attending dental school. My family then moved to St. Louis for my father’s orthodontic residency and afterwards settled in the state of Nevada. I spent most of my childhood in Las Vegas and returned there after my orthodontic residency to work with my father to help grow our family’s three-location orthodontic footprint in the Las Vegas valley. After practicing for close to 20 years in my childhood hometown, I began to miss the quality and pace of life back in the Midwest. So, I decided to sell my practices in Las Vegas and relocated my family to the Madison area in 2022.
With thousands of smiles transformed, I have experience in treating a wide variety of cases ranging from routine to multidisciplinary and complex with braces and Invisalign® clear aligners. I believe that staying up to date on the latest technology is key to practicing orthodontics effectively and providing the best treatment options for all my patients.

Away from the office, I enjoy staying connected to my community through involvement in youth sports and my church. I also enjoy spending time with my wife Megan and our four children, attending sporting events, and making fresh pasta dishes. European cultures have always fascinated me, and I have been lucky enough to have lived in Italy and Switzerland for two years where I became fluent in Italian. A newly found passion of mine is scuba diving. I have collected several PADI scuba certifications and accomplished many amazing dives include my deepest dive of 138 feet in Belize. I also am a huge sports fan – some of my favorite teams you can find me cheering on include the Vegas Golden Knights, Utah Utes, and St. Louis Cardinals.

Through my professional affiliations, I’m able to connect and collaborate with fellow orthodontists and dentists to allow for continued growth and sharing of knowledge, ensuring that we all provide quality care to the patients we serve.
