About Johnson Orthodontics - Waukee
Two Des Moines-area locations in Adel and Waukee help families juggle braces appointments, with kids often finishing treatment ahead of schedule under Dr. Nathan Johnson.
Dr. Nathan Johnson is described as conservative and decisive, favoring careful timing over rushing kids into braces, and reviews often mention treatment wrapping up earlier than expected, including one Invisalign case finished in about four months. Families managing multiple children in treatment at once note the two locations in Adel and Waukee make scheduling easier around school and work. Patients who transferred mid-treatment from other orthodontists report faster, more decisive progress here.

I had two kiddos get their braces here and they did such a great job. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating and BOTH of my kiddos got them taken off early. I will definitely be taking my youngest here for his braces as well!!

We switched to Johnson Ortho at the recommendation of one of my coworkers who had heard me complaining about our old ortho place. I wish we would have switched earlier! It had been SO amazing, and they are so responsive and the head even gave my husband his cell phone number in case we had any emergency ortho things come up. I would HIGHLY recommend, and tell everyone I can to come to Johnson Ortho!

Dr Johnson has been amazing to work with. My 17 smile shifted and he’s worked with her to make sure she is happy with the results. I am very thankful for his team!

The absolute best experience we've ever had. We came in for a consultation and was able to get my daughter's braces the same day! The staff are very friendly, inviting and efficient.
