My name is Darin Ward, I am the orthodontist and head cheerleader at FaceForWard Orthodontics and I LOVE WHAT I DO!

I find orthodontics to be a truly rewarding profession because I have a passion for making people smile.

I believe that the beauty of a person’s smile is more than what you see on the surface! In every stage of life, smiling helps to build a positive self image, creates confidence, and is a vital form of positive human expression. I want you/your child to smile on the inside about your smile on the outside!

I put the patient first by respecting patient autonomy and their right to choose. I do this by taking the time to find out what patients “WANT” and only then we let them know what they “NEED” to achieve their goals.

This empowers folks to make fully informed decisions about WHAT they would like to see happen, HOW they would like to see it happen, and WHEN they would like to see it happen.

Having over 20 years of dental experience including over 3,500 continuing education hours, I realize and appreciate the “The mouth bone is connected to the body bone!” Over that time, I have developed a holistic approach to orthodontics including treatment concepts that include maximization of growth and development, early preventive treatment minimal invasiveness, fulI facial enhancement, addressing Rest Oral Posture and breathing habits, the functional and aesthetic harmony between teeth, gums, lips and I take airway into consideration in everything I do.

To help you along, I wrote this free downloadable report: “The Top 10 Things You Must Know Before Choosing Your Orthodontist.” Inside this report, you will find useful, practical information you can us to make your decision about the right orthodontist for you and your family.

When you have finished reading this report, I invite you to schedule your Face ForWard New Patient Consultation. This exam includes a discussion of your goals, an airway orthodontic exam, digital x-rays, a 3D scan of your teeth, and a personalized treatment consultation with me.
