Meet Dr. J

Orthodontist Dr. Michael S. Johnston is a leader in orthodontics. Not only does he use braces, but also he INVENTS them! Dr. Johnston has been awarded two patents by the US Patent and Trademark Office for his orthodontic brace and method. He is the inventor of the OnBRACE® appliance which is available through Specialty Appliances. Dr. Johnston was awarded his 3rd US patent for the OnBRACE® on February 11, 2025. The OnBRACE® is patent-pending around the world including Europe, Japan, Canada, and Brazil. Needless to say, inventing things is kind of a hobby for Dr. Johnston.
