It is with a great deal of excitement and joy that I am joining Dr. Ann Walters in practice! I trained to become an orthodontist at the Ohio State University where Dr. Walters is a faculty member, and I have been working in private practice ever since graduating in 2013. It has been a pleasure and a privilege getting to know Dr. Walters, and I look forward to continuing her long-standing tradition of conscientious high-quality orthodontic care in the Marion community!
I grew up in Alliance, Ohio in what you might call a dental family. After graduating from high school, I moved to Columbus to go to school at The Ohio State University. I finished my undergraduate, dental, and orthodontic training there, and after twelve years of OSU education, I consider myself to be a true Buckeye! My father continues to practice dentistry today, and I am so proud to have followed in his footsteps as a fourth-generation dentist!
In the past several years since graduation, I have been busy practicing orthodontics, and pursuing my hobbies. I love running, all things food-related, traveling to new places, and being outside. Im happiest when Im spending time with my husband, Dan, and our new little boy, Jack! Since he arrived in March, Ive been proudly sporting the new title of Mom on my resume!
Most importantly, you have my word that I will always do whatever I can to provide the highest quality of care with compassion, empathy, and fun! My philosophy is to deliver conservative but effective orthodontic management of developing problems from the mixed dentition through adulthood. I will even be adding new treatment options such as clear aligner treatment! Please dont hesitate to call with any questions whether its about me or about treatment, Im here to help!
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
We want our patients to be informed about orthodontic problems and treatments, because informed patients make better decisions about their health and well-being. That is why we've included an extensive section on this web site covering the full array of topics associated with orthodontics and teeth irregularities. We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern about your orthodontic needs and care.
Choosing an orthodontic practice to trust with the beauty of your smile or your child's smile is an important decision. Orthodontic treatment has the potential to be a long process, so you'll want to make sure you or your child are comfortable with the doctor and staff. Your orthodontic experience is something you'll remember for the rest of your life, so make sure it's something to smile about. Ask someone you trust for a recommendation.
Selecting an orthodontist may seem like a daunting task for someone who has never been through it, so it's a great idea to ask for a recommendation from someone who has. Whether it's a friend, co-worker, or family member, they'll probably be more than happy to share their first-hand experience. Your general dentist is also a great resource to get a recommendation. If their children have had braces, ask which orthodontist they used.
Choosing an orthodontic specialist instead of a general dentist for your orthodontic treatment is a decision that will truly make a difference in your smile. Orthodontics is a big investment in your health and confidence, and the function and appearance of your smile. Why would you trust anyone less than a specialist?
A dentist must attend an additional two to three years of training at an accredited university residency program and then pass national board examinations in order to become certified as an orthodontist. This education, along with the experience of a practice dedicated solely to orthodontics, gives orthodontists a unique ability to create a customized treatment plan and carry out safe, predictable, and efficient treatment.

The Crawford Orthodontics team is amazing. We are very impressed with the patience everyone had with our daughter. We were looking for a special orthodontist who would be able and willing to work with others on our dental team and we are so happy to have found Dr. Crawford.

Dr. Crawford and staff are great! She is so amazing that she even took me up on my offer to visit the high school I teach at. She and her office manager met with students to discuss her profession and business. Her willingness and graciousness to take time out of her schedule to meet with young adults is amazing. Thank you Dr. Crawford and staff!

All of the ladies here are so awesome! Bethany Crawford made getting braces as an adult so easy, and I was able to get the permanent retainers that I wanted. Would definitely recommend!

Dr. Crawford and staff are great! I had braces as a teenager and had developed an overbite now at the age of 33. I met with an orthodontist several years ago in town and they said 4 years of braces was my only option, which I did not want. 3 years later my dentist recommended Bethany and her team. I complete invisaline in about a year and had great results. From my first appointment to my last I felt welcomed and involved in the decisions around my orthodontics. Dr. Crawford is a genuine and warm person. I would highly recommend her for all of your orthodontic needs!!

I am so happy with the results I got from Crawford Orthodontics. I had braces as a teenager, but my teeth became crowded over the years. I was skeptical about going back to an orthodontist, but Dr Crawford and her staff provided such kind and personable service. I used Invisalign, and I couldn't be happier with the way my teeth look now. It took me just one year to get my smile back. I highly recommend them for kids, teens, and adults.

We love Dr. Crawford and her entire team! Both of my kids have braces on at the same time witch is crazy in itself and every step right down to scheduling has been so effortless for me with the staff going above and beyond to get my kids in for appointments at same time. I have limited time as most of us do and they always make the schedule work as if it's not hard enough with one kid they manage both of mine. Everyone is so positive and sweet, even when you know they are behind they never rush through anyones appointment. I appreciate that they are calm positive and nothing but friendly and do not skip on the care of each patient. Being in the service industry myself I know the stress the clock can cause but not with this team. They focus on each guest and keep a positive friendly atmosphere. I'm going actually miss seeing everyone once my kiddos are finished. I recommend this team 10 out of 10 every time!
