Many of you may know local orthodontist Ron Wilson, as he and his practice is behind many of the perfect smiles in Northeast Georgia.
Ron was born and raised in Gainesville along with his parents, he attended Gainesville High and North Georgia College and State University.
“I went to Dental School and Orthodontic Residency at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta,” he said. “In 2006, we purchased Dr. Tommy Field’s 30 year old, local, orthodontic practice and transitioned it into Wilson Orthodontics; which now has six locations in Gainesville, Flowery Branch, Cleveland, Dawsonville, Dahlonega and Clermont.”
Ron’s wife of 10 years, Bonnie-Lynne, works alongside him and the couple has three children: Lilly-Kate (6), Baylor (5) and Hartley (2).
