See the unique journey and dedication that make him stand out in the world of orthodontics.
Originally from Virginia, Dr. Bond's path to orthodontics didn’t start at an orthodontic office, but at IKEA. Being interested in engineering and architecture, Dr. Bond saw the straight lines of the furniture, the way the pieces worked together, and the overall harmony of the furniture and felt inspired. As he went through his own orthodontic treatment, he saw the similarities between orthodontics and architecture. This sparked his interest in the field of orthodontics, and he never looked back!
His educational journey began at Virginia Tech, followed by advanced studies at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Completing his orthodontic residency in 2020, he quickly became a board-certified orthodontist by 2021.
Dr. Bond and his partner live in the city of Chicago, along with their French Bulldog, Louis. When he's not perfecting smiles, you will likely see Dr. Bond in one of the cities’ newest coffee shops as he is on the hunt to find the perfect iced coffee, or giving in to one of his guilty pleasures: donuts.
Having a love for all things health and wellness, it is also no surprise that Dr. Bond loves to stay active – from indoor fitness classes to riding bikes through the city, he loves to stay on the move.
As a patient of Dr. Bond, you’ll experience his attention to detail and his vibrant personality. He is beyond excited to meet you, and cannot wait to laugh with you and celebrate you throughout your orthodontic journey!
Orthodontist vs. Dentist: Why Choose an Orthodontist?
While both orthodontists and dentists play essential roles in maintaining oral health, their areas of expertise differ significantly. Dentists focus on general oral health, including cleanings, fillings, and preventive care. Orthodontists, like Dr. Charles Bond, specialize in diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. This additional training and specialization allow orthodontists to focus specifically on aligning teeth and jaws, ensuring optimal results for teeth straightening procedures.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers a multitude of benefits that extend beyond just straightening teeth. Here’s a comprehensive look at the physical, mental, personal, social, and professional advantages:
Physical Benefits: Orthodontic treatment corrects dental alignment, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. Well-aligned teeth reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw problems. Correcting bite issues can also alleviate strain on your teeth and jaw muscles, reducing symptoms like headaches and jaw pain. Improved alignment can also enhance the overall function of your bite, making it easier to chew and speak effectively.
Mental and Personal Benefits: A beautiful, straight smile can significantly boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. When you feel good about your smile, it positively affects your overall mental health, making you more likely to engage in social activities and feel confident in personal interactions. The transformation of your smile through orthodontic treatment can lead to a more positive self-image and a greater sense of well-being.
Social Benefits: Having a great smile enhances your social life by making you more approachable and confident in social settings. People with straight teeth are often perceived as more attractive and friendly, which can lead to more positive interactions and relationships. A confident smile can improve your ability to communicate and connect with others, enriching your social experiences.
Professional Benefits: In the professional realm, a confident smile can improve your career prospects. Studies have shown that people with straight teeth are often viewed as more successful and trustworthy. This perception can play a significant role in job interviews, networking, and overall career advancement. Orthodontic treatment can enhance your professional image, giving you the confidence to pursue new opportunities and excel in your career.
