Orthodontics For Teens & Adults

Does your teen avoid smiling because they have crooked teeth? If so, you should give serious thought to their concern about their appearance. Crooked teeth can have profound effects on your teen’s self-esteem and social skills. That’s why you should look to Hayward & Team Orthodontics in Palatine & Barrington, Illinois. Dr. Michael D. Hayward is a highly trained orthodontist with over two decades of experience and many thousands of healthy, beautiful smiles to his credit. Dr. Hayward offers innovative orthodontic solutions for teens to help them achieve a lifetime of healthy, beautiful and confident smiles.

 

Next, Dr. Hayward is proud to offer comprehensive orthodontic care for adults. Many orthodontic problems can be corrected as well for adults as for children. That’s because orthodontic forces move teeth the same way for a 40-year-old adult and a 10-year-old child.

At Hayward & Team Orthodontics, Dr. Hayward offers several orthodontic options for teens and adults and will recommend the best option for your individual condition. He was the first orthodontist in and around Palatine and Barrington, Illinois to offer the revolutionary SureSmile® digital orthodontic system. SureSmile can provide you with a straighter smile faster than with conventional braces, plus it offers less overall discomfort and requires fewer office visits. Next, Dr. Hayward offers the Damon® System of self-ligating braces, which align teeth more quickly and with less discomfort than traditional braces. The Damon System’s efficiency also means fewer office visits are required. Finally, Invisalign® is a great option for mature teens and adults who would like to achieve straighter smiles without metal wires or brackets.

Invisalign involves the use of clear, removable, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth.
