Braces Reviews
Very Professional, fast but accurate, just loved the experience, got to play Mario go kart and drink some mocha while my kids were getting there braces, Just loved it!!!!
We've been here a lot this year for our 3 boys and we couldn't be happier with the results. Between braces, retainers, and other equipment, the service and hospitality is fantastic. Prices are very competitive. Location is great. When we go we really feel like we are part of the Johnson Orthodontist family! They're also always quick to get us in for last minute appointments š
Everyone was very sweet and informative. I felt welcomed and comforted to be myself, Especially during my consultation. I was able to get my braces put on today and was given all kind of supplies to succeed. I appreciate everyone that helped me start my journey today. You guys are the best!!!
This place is great.I had braces put on.The process up to and after was great. Staff was great.I ended up having an allergic reaction to the braces and they came in after hours on a weekend to take out the wire.Later they had replaced it.Thanks again guys!
Such an amazing experience from start to finish! The entire team was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout my braces journey. They always took the time to answer my questions and made sure I understood everything. Iām so happy with my smile and truly appreciate all of their hard work and patience. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients. Highly recommend!

Life happens. Emergencies do, too.
To successfully complete the treatment plan, the patient must work together with the orthodontist. The teeth and jaw can only move toward their corrected positions if the patient consistently wears the rubber bands or other appliances as prescribed. Damaged appliances lengthen the treatment time. Generally, a broken/loose bracket can be fixed at your next regular appointment. Accidents involving trauma to your face and lips should be managed by the emergency room or your general dentist. If you have a pokey wire that you cannot manage with wax, call our office to be connected with someone who can help.
Give your childās smile a head start.
Phase I Treatment
It is best for an orthodontist to see children by age seven to advise if orthodontic treatment is required. The first permanent molars and incisors have usually come in by this time and crossbites, crowding, and other problems can be evaluated.
You love food, but not all food loves your braces.
Braces are amazing at straightening your smile. Yet, some foods arenāt so amazing to your braces. Below is a list of foods to avoid during treatment.
Foods To Avoid:
- Apples (Donāt bite into a whole apple! Cut it into wedges first.)
- Bubble Gum (Sugarless gum is OK.)
- Sticky Hard Candy (Caramel, taffy, nut brittle, chewy candies, etc.)
- Carrots (Avoid sticks, cut into thin curls.)
- Corn on the cob (You may enjoy corn off the cob.)
- Corn chips/hard tacos
- Hard foods (Tough on braces and causing bending or breaking.)
- Soda and other sugary drinks
- Ice (No crunching!)
- Nuts
- Pizza crust/crusty bread (Outer edges.)
- Pretzels (The large, hard varieties.)
Pro-Tip:
If you eat any of the above items, donāt worry. Just try to remember to brush your teeth as soon as possible after you eat them. If you arenāt able to brush your teeth right after, then just rinse your mouth out as best as you can with water. If you canāt avoid eating these items, InvisalignĀ® may be the perfect option for your smile needs.
