MONTHLY CONTEST

Check us out on facebook to find out about our latest contest!


 

TOKEN PROGRAM

Patient Cooperation is vital in achieving a quality orthodontic result.  At Johnson Orthodontics, we use a Token Program to motivate patients to do their part.  Patients receive tokens while in braces if they are on-time for their appointments, brush well, and have no broken brackets. In some cases no tokens will be given if brushing is poor enough to cause dental decay or decalcification.

When you earn enough tokens, we have great prizes you can purchase with your earned tokens.

Remember, if you wear your Johnson Orthodontics t-shirt you will receive extra tokens.

Wooden Nickels are for patients in braces. Your wooden nickels are your responsibility, they are just like money. If you lose them, like money, they are gone.

TEXT  MESSAGING

We have three options for appointment reminders. First a computer generated Housecall, second an email reminder, and third Text Messaging. If you would like a text reminder or email please call our office so that your information may be set up in the system.  For Text messaging we will need the name of your wireless carrier.

Text Messaging has become a favorite among many of our Patients.  In effort to teach the parents what some of the Text abbreviations and the Meaning of SMS Phrases we have compiled the following list.
