UPWard Orthodontics PLLC

This is a professional, friendly and fun practice! Also accommodating. I was vacationing in the area, had an emergency need, was seen same day and was given a couple of options to solve the problem. Problem solved, vacation saved! Thank you!

Dr. Darin and his wonderfully knowledgeable staff were welcoming and wonderful throughout the whole experience. They make braces fun and affordable. Super modern, high tech equipment makes if fast, painless and easy. Thank you for bringing the best to the Copper Country!

I transferred to Upward ortho halfway through my treatment because I had moved. And I am so glad I did! When I met with Dr. Ward for the consultation, his suggested plan was thorough and included recommended procedures that would enhance the appearance of my teeth, which weren’t options at my previous orthodontist. We forecasted that the remaining treatment would take a year but he was able to complete it with great results after only 8 months! I am extremely pleased with my smile and it has increased my confidence significantly.

We were referred to Dr. Darin when my son had an orthodontic need. Dr. Darin assessed not only his mouth/teeth but his posture, breathing, and tongue placement, teaching us that these affect month development. He taught us how these things could be changed and the positive impact they would have. These were not things that other professionals had talked with us about, and I appreciated Dr. Darin's thorough approach to my son's care. Dr. Darin used a gentle, realistic approach to treat my son's situation. I highly recommend Dr. Ward.

Friendly atmosphere. Dr Ward is great! His staff is amazing. They really care about their patients and their patients comfort. I’m so glad dr Ward and his crew came to Houghton. He is very knowledgeable and does most procedures in his office. No 2 hr drive. And my daughter actually gets excited to go see her orthodontist! That’s not normal. 10/10 would recommend.
