Dr. Johnson completed his residency with the highest faculty reviews ever given to an orthodontic resident at USC.
Dr. Johnson has been involved in several areas of research, including the study of dental root resorption and the search for genetic links to mandibular prognathism (overgrowth of the lower jaw). He is also a strong believer in the development and implementation of new technologies to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of orthodontic conditions. His research included the testing of 3D imaging techniques and the development of novel software programs which are being used today to help academicians with their research. Dr. Johnson continues to program software and has developed several programs currently being used in our office.
