Meet Dr. Jonathan Johnson, Your Milford Orthodontist
Dr. Johnson, your Milton Orthodontist, 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 completed 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.
Why Choose an Orthodontist over a Dentist in Milford?
Orthodontist vs. General Dentist
While all orthodontists are trained dentists, not all dentists are trained orthodontists. Becoming an orthodontist requires additional years of specialized education beyond dental school. After earning her dental degree, Dr. Johnson completed two to three more years of focused training to earn her certification as an orthodontic specialist.
That extra training means Dr. Johnson has in-depth expertise in diagnosing and correcting alignment issues—knowing not just how to move teeth, but when and why. She builds each treatment plan with precision, drawing on years of experience in moving teeth effectively and safely.
Braces in Milford
Traditional braces remain one of the most reliable and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Whether you're dealing with a minor spacing issue or a complex bite problem, metal and ceramic braces in Milford can be a great solution.
Braces are also one of the most budget-friendly orthodontic options, making them accessible for many families. Since they can be more efficient at closing gaps and straightening teeth than some newer alternatives, they often lead to shorter treatment times. Plus, braces don’t rely on advanced technology or expensive equipment—just proven techniques that deliver consistent results.
Invisalign in Milford
Invisalign is a popular and effective alternative to braces, especially for teens and adults who want a more discreet option. Using a custom series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth without the need for brackets or wires.
These aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic and are nearly invisible when worn. Patients typically switch to a new set of trays every one to two weeks, with the full set designed to move your teeth step-by-step toward perfect alignment. For best results, we recommend wearing your aligners 20–22 hours a day throughout your treatment.
While Invisalign is highly effective for many common orthodontic concerns, it may not be the right choice for more complex cases. A free consultation with Dr. Johnson will help determine whether Invisalign is the best fit for your smile goals.
Testimonials from Milford Patients
Doctor Johnson and his staff are the most amazing people in the industry! At 30, I was a bit embarrassed and nervous to finally have my dream of straight teeth. The entire staff made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Dr. Johnson literally changed my life, and smile. - Nicole

In for my last Invisalign review and couldn’t have been more pleased. Had to move my appointment the day before and the team fit me in…just really love the customer service and the ‘get it done, no drama attitude’. Other professional practices in Sussex county should model this practice. Wish he could provide more than just orthodontic treatment!! Going to miss coming in!! - Chris
My experience with Johnson Orthodontics was excellent! Dr Johnson has state of the art technology which allows him to create an effective plan for re-aligning your teeth. the office staff are outstanding: I never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room before being seen. Office visits were always on time and I appreciated the text reminders and updates. The entire year-long process with my Invisalign was incredibly well-organized, efficient and well-run! It was not easy to be an older adult needing braces— my mouth seemed to always be tender (can’t wait to have a good , crunchy baguette soon) but Johnson Orthodontics made this smile journey worth it! - Lisa
