Dr. Jacob Johnson
A proud LSU and University of Oklahoma alum, Dr. Jacob Johnson brings specialized expertise in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics to patients in Acadiana and all across South Louisiana. From the moment he set foot in Lafayette, he knew this was where he wanted to plant roots, raise a family, and build a practice dedicated to transforming lives through confident, healthy smiles!
Dr. Stephen Searcy
Not only does the practice of orthodontics enable me to create beautiful smiles and improve oral health, it also allows me to become part of each patient’s life. Although the treatment journey can be challenging at times, my team and I try to make it as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
Our Services
Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Your Smile
We offer a full range of orthodontic treatments to meet the needs of every unique smile.

Whether you’re starting early or seeking an emergency solution, we provide comfortable, effective treatment with beautiful results that will last a lifetime!
ORTHODONTIC EMERGENCIES
Whether it’s a broken bracket, poking wire, or discomfort that just won’t go away, our team at Johnson & Searcy Orthodontics is ready to guide you through the next steps.
EARLY ORTHODONTIC TREATMENTS
At Johnson & Searcy Orthodontics, we believe the earlier we can guide your child’s smile, the better the outcome.
METAL & CLEAR BRACES
Metal braces are still one of the most trusted and effective ways to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

Straightening your teeth shouldn’t mean putting your life on hold! We offer clear aligners—comfortable, nearly invisible, and custom-fit to your smile.
SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS
At Johnson Orthodontics, sometimes the best path to a balanced, confident smile involves a team approach—combining orthodontic care with precise surgical techniques.
DENTOFACIAL ORTHOPEDICS
At Johnson Orthodontics, we know that a great smile starts with more than just straight teeth—it starts with the right foundation.

From the moment we walked in everyone was smiling and greeted us. Dr. Johnson and Ms. Kelly were amazing. My daughter is excited about getting her braces. And the welcome sign made us smile, we have never experienced anything like this before. Definitely a welcoming office.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff! We went in for my daughter’s consultation appointment and I was really impressed with everyone I interacted with. I didn’t have to ask a single question. All of them were answered before I could ask! Would highly recommend!
