Building a Family One Smile at a Time
Dr. Johnson of MyFamily Orthodontics is raising the bar in patient care
When you first enter MyFamily Orthodontics in Lakeside Village, you're immediately immersed in the welcoming spirit of Dr. Johnson's practice. From the creative and interactive monthly giveaways stationed just beneath the soothing fishtank to the warm and friendly smile of the staff waiting to greet you, every detail of the MyFamily experience is focused on the patient.
As the proud and loving mother of two young girls and a devoted wife, Dr. Johnson is a family woman first. When the time arose to name her orthodontics practice, she was inspired by the heart warming words of her oldest daughter, "I love my family", a phrase the then two year old repeated often. Dr. Johnson wanted to share that memory and that connection with her staff and patients and MyFamily Orthodontics was born.
The MyFamily Orthodontics mission is to treat, educate and encourage oral health in the community of Horizon West. Dr. Johnson began her studies at the University of Florida where she earned her Bachelors Degree in Zoology before pursuing a career in dentistry at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. In 2007 Dr. Johnson became the first African American woman to earn her orthodontic certification from the University of Colorado. Orthodontics has allowed Dr. Johnson to combine her medical knowledge with her passion for art to create healthy beautiful smiles.
We recently had the opportunity to ask Dr. Johnson a few questions about the importance of orthodontic care in various stages of life. Here's what we learned.
A certified orthodontist will sometimes recommend early orthodontic treatment prior (Phase I) to treat developing skeletal abnormalities and/or severe malocclusions, such as excess crowding or spacing for 12-18 months. If the patient needs additional treatment after the Phase I treatment, they will need Phase II to further correct the full adult dentition for another 12-18 months. Usually the Phase II treatment will not be as complex if the patient had Phase I Treatment versus if they wait until full adult dentition to initiate orthodontic treatment.
We look forward to many more beautiful smiles thanks to her hard work and dedication to all of us. To begin your smile journey stop by MyFamily Orthodontics in Lakeside Village or schedule your consultation by calling 407-258-3262.
"My daughter is a new patient of Dr. Johnson. Her
office and staff are extremely inviting. During our initial consultation,
Dr. Johnson was very thorough and explained everything in great detail so that
we thoroughly understood the commitment of having braces. We had
previously visited several other orthodontic offices to find the right
fit. After visiting My Family Orthodontics, we knew immediately that we
wanted Dr. Johnson to care for my daughter's teeth. Once my daughter's
braces were on, Dr. Johnson made her feel special by asking to take a photo
with her to mark this exciting day. I would definitely recommend Dr.
Johnson and My Family Orthodontics!" Tracey Forrester
