Why UPWard Ortho: minimally-invasive, focused on healthy growth and development
“We treat the people attached to the teeth!”
Dr. Darin and his team provide a highly specialized approach to orthodontics that is focused on preventing invasive procedures, such as extractions, headgear or surgery. The UPWard Ortho approach combines different techniques and types of orthodonture to help patients achieve beautiful smiles, and also to address critical life-long health issues with a holistic view of proper facial growth and development and proper oral rest posture.
At UPWard Ortho, we know from experience that every patient is different, and you can be sure that Dr. Ward will provide you with a specialized treatment plan that fits your specific needs, symptoms, and goals.
