Hidden Braces
Avoiding orthodontic treatment in adults and teenagers is because they find traditional braces distracting and unattractive. Lingual braces solve this problem by having the same effects as traditional braces but are discreetly attached to the back of the teeth to help patients achieve a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile. Dr. T.C. Hardy, the orthodontist in Longmont, CO, can help you achieve a beautiful smile and healthy teeth.
Benefits of Lingual (Hidden) Braces
To effectively straighten your teeth, you no longer need to spend long periods of your life with metal braces overwhelming your smile. The benefits of lingual braces can include:
- Correcting long-term or lifetime dental issues
- Minimizing visibility of orthodontic treatment
- Providing effective orthodontic treatment for athletes and musicians who play wind instruments
- Boosting confidence during treatment compared to traditional methods
- Enhancing self-esteem after treatment
InBrace – Hidden Braces
We offer Inbrace, the latest technology in aesthetic orthodontics. Inbrace utilizes 3D digital scans to generate a digital model of your teeth, meticulously repositioning them virtually to craft your ideal smile. A smartwire, similar to traditional arch wires but tailored to your specific smile, is discreetly affixed to the back of your teeth with custom-designed hidden brackets. These smartwire braces employ gentle force technology, exerting less pressure than conventional braces or aligners to gradually shift teeth into the desired alignment. This method applies a gentle, continuous force, ensuring healthy tooth movement and maintaining the health of your gums and teeth throughout the treatment. Suited for mild or moderate cases of spacing, crowded teeth, open bite, and deep bites, these behind-the-teeth braces offer comfort and confidence, allowing you to brush, floss, and eat with ease.

What Can I Expect?
Lingual braces, like traditional braces, use brackets and wires to gently reposition your teeth. However, with lingual braces, the brackets are installed to the back of the teeth, making them invisible when you are speaking, eating, or smiling. After an initial consultation and evaluation at Taft Hill Orthodontics, Dr. Hardy can determine if lingual braces are the best method for straightening your teeth. Once Dr. Hardy has determined that you are an ideal candidate for lingual braces, he will take impressions of your teeth that are then sent to a lab for custom-made brackets and wires. The braces will then be bonded behind your teeth for effective but discreet treatment. Periodic office visits give Dr. Hardy an opportunity to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to optimize your final results.

Why Should I Choose Dr. T.C. Hardy?
Finding a skilled and reputable orthodontist can be one of the most important aspects of seeking orthodontic care. General dentists may offer orthodontic services, but only an orthodontic office specializes in orthodontic treatment. Orthodontists spend an additional 2-3 years training in a specialized orthodontic residency program. Typically, orthodontists have the experience and expertise to deliver results that can meet your expectations. Dr. Hardy specialized in orthodontics at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and focused his studies on misaligned teeth, jaw disorders, and adjusting occlusion.
