About This Provider
Dr. Michael Hayward is an orthodontist and practice owner at Hayward Orthodontics, serving patients at two northwest suburban Chicago locations in Barrington and Palatine, Illinois. He is recognized as an early adopter of SureSmile technology in the suburban Chicago market, a system that pairs computer-generated 3-D imaging with robotic wire-bending to plan and deliver orthodontic treatment with a level of precision that manual methods cannot replicate. Dr. Hayward reports that SureSmile compresses treatment time to approximately 12 months, compared to the conventional 24 to 26 months, cutting time in braces by 25 to 50 percent. This translates to fewer office visits, reduced discomfort from manual wire adjustments, and faster outcomes for patients managing complex bite problems including underbites, overbites, and multi-phase correction cases. His clinical approach begins with a precise 3-D scan on the first visit, and every archwire is robot-shaped to exact specifications before it is placed. Patients who have completed severe bite correction at Hayward Orthodontics report visible structural results and, in some cases, secondary health improvements they did not anticipate.
