Meet Dr. Johnson
Dr. Johnson graduated from Bucknell University with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and completed his dental education at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. While in dental school, he fell in love with orthodontics and went on to complete an orthodontic residency at Temple University. There he was appointed Chief Resident in the Department of Orthodontics based on his exceptional clinical and leadership skills. He also served as an instructor for undergraduate dental students.
Treatment Options
Every smile is different, so Dr. Johnson looks at your bite, your goals and your schedule before recommending a plan. Most treatment comes down to one of three options.
Metal Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient and effective tools in orthodontics, and today's brackets are smaller and more comfortable than they used to be. We attach brackets to your teeth and connect them with wires, and regular adjustments apply gentle pressure that moves each tooth into place. Braces work well for simple and complex cases alike.
Clear Braces
Clear braces work the same way as metal braces, but the brackets blend in with your teeth so they're much less noticeable. They're a good fit if you want the reliability of braces without the metal look.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth with a series of custom, removable trays instead of brackets and wires. You take them out to eat, brush and floss, so there are no food restrictions, and you move to a new set every week or two as your teeth shift. We also offer Invisalign Teen for younger patients.
Why Families Choose Dr. Johnson
You'll see Dr. Johnson at every visit, so the orthodontist who planned your treatment is the one checking your progress. We plan our schedule carefully so you're seen on time, which matters when you're making the drive. And because we treat patients of every age, one practice can take care of the whole family.
What Happens at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is free. You'll sit down with Dr. Johnson and talk about what you'd like to change, and we'll take digital photos and X-rays so he can see the full picture. If treatment makes sense, he'll recommend the option that fits your case and answer any questions you have.

Common Questions
Do you have an office in Georgetown?
Our office is in Rehoboth Beach at 18947 John J. Williams Highway, Suite 310. Patients from Georgetown come to us there, and you can start with a virtual consultation if you'd like to meet Dr. Johnson before making the trip.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes, your first appointment is free. You'll meet Dr. Johnson, we'll take digital photos and X-rays, and he'll let you know whether treatment would help.
How often will I need to come in?
Dr. Johnson sets your schedule when treatment starts. Invisalign patients usually check in about every 6 to 8 weeks, and we keep appointments on time so you're not left waiting after the drive.
When should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic checkup by age 7. Most kids won't need treatment that early, but an early visit lets Dr. Johnson catch problems while they're easier to guide.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and adults make up about one in five of our patients. Clear braces and Invisalign keep adult orthodontics discreet.
Do you accept dental insurance?
We accept many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits, and we offer payment plans. We'll go over your coverage at your consultation before anything starts.
