Get to Know Dr. Johnson
“The staff and Dr. Johnson are A++. My son has been coming here for several years from getting a palate expander to braces. Several times my son has needed unplanned visits and they always manage to squeeze him in. Highly recommend for anyone looking for Ortho!”
Derek A., Safety Harbor, FL
“The care my daughter has received from Dr. Alex and his staff is amazing. My daughter has autism. Her cross bite was significant. Not once has she fought going and her smile is beautiful! Thank you!”
Marie D., Palm Harbor, FL
“I was a patient at Dr. Alex Johnson, where I received the carriere, full braces, and the retainer treatment for my teeth. It was definitely worth it since Dr. Alex Johnson did an amazing job in fixing my teeth!!!”
Sana S., Clearwater, FL
“Dr. Johnson has provided orthodontic care for 4 of my children and has done a wonderful job for each of them. My family has been coming to his practice for over a decade and most, if not all of his staff is the same as when we began. This speaks to the stability and quality you can expect from Dr. Johnson.”

You Asked, We Answered
Got an orthodontic question or two on your mind? No worries – so did some of our other patients! We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions below. Feel free to give them a readthrough. You might just find that others had the exact same question!
How do I find the best place to get orthodontic work done?
There are two main things you should consider when looking for a quality orthodontist in Palm Harbor. 1) Your personal needs, and 2) The orthodontist’s qualifications.
How far are you willing/not willing to travel for orthodontic work? Will you need to visit a practice that accepts your dental insurance? What about pediatrics – will you be needing treatment for a child or teen? Write down or keep a mental list of your own requirements for an orthodontist so you have a good idea of where to start your search.
Understanding various orthodontic qualifications can be a bit trickier if you haven’t gone to dental school! Basically, to be an orthodontist in the US, doctors have to have a Doctor of Dental Surgery or a Doctor of Dental Medicine, plus three years of orthodontic residency and a state license to practice. Board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics is optional, but shows that your orthodontist has gone the extra mile to understand and study everything they can about their field!
What do you do if you can't afford an orthodontist?
Many practices (ours included!) offer other ways to help make treatment more affordable. If your dental insurance doesn’t include coverage for orthodontics (or you don’t have access to dental insurance), you might be interested in CareCredit financing. By partnering with this trusted third-party financier, we’re able to offer payment plans that break up your total treatment costs into smaller monthly chunks. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like more information!
Is orthodontic treatment worth it?
Absolutely! Straightening out your teeth isn’t just for aesthetics. Many times, uneven dental alignments cause discomfort, difficulties chewing effectively, and other bothersome oral health issues. Whether you choose braces or clear aligners, you’ll be happy with how much more comfortable your bite is after treatment!
How long will I have to wear braces or clear aligners?
It depends on your unique oral structure. Some patients simply have more complicated cases of misalignment than others, which can take more time to correct. To give you a sense of what to expect for each type of treatment, though, here are the average timelines for braces and clear aligners in Palm Harbor:
- Braces – 1 to 2 years.
- Clear aligners – 1 year to 18 months.
