Conservative Treatment ALIGNED WITH EACH PATIENT’S GOALS
Although many orthodontists start orthodontic treatment with children when they only have a few adult teeth, studies have shown that only certain cases necessitate treatment this early on. Dr. Hardy practices a conservative approach to orthodontic treatment, to prevent you and your children from unnecessary dental work that takes your time and your resources prematurely. While it is important for children to have an early orthodontic assessment to look for serious dental concerns (around age 7), the majority of children will not require orthodontic treatment before age 11.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Choosing Your Orthodontic Specialist
When deciding who is going to be responsible for the orthodontic treatment, experience and smile results you or a loved one receive, it is important to do your homework and ensure you are getting the best you can. Choosing to enlist an orthodontic specialist for your oral health needs means you will benefit from 2-3 more years of specialized training that orthodontists complete during their residency program compared to general dentists. Orthodontists offer you this specialized training AND a practice that is dedicated to the orthodontics speciality 100%. Even with this extra training, not all orthodontists are equal. Orthodontists employ varying philosophies and methods for treatment. Who you choose will have an impact on your final results. At Belmar Orthodontics, we educate you on all your treatment options so that you can make informed, confident decisions about your oral health.

Invisalign® and InBrace
We are pleased to offer the latest technology in aesthetic orthodontics, including Invisalign and InBrace. InBrace uses gentle force technology to position your teeth with less force than traditional braces or aligners, thereby repositioning them with healthy tooth movement. We will create a digital replica with 3D scans of your teeth, then virtually reposition them to recreate your smile. From the 3D scans, a smartwire is programmed to your specific smile and teeth. The smartwire is attached to brackets on the back of your teeth, providing comfortable and gentle movement to bring them into the desired position in the shortest amount of time. With Inbrace you can brush, floss, and eat normally, without the embarrassment of visible wires or glare of clear aligners. Find out more about hidden braces.
If you would like to learn more about Invisalign® or InBrace, or if you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hardy to find out if this is the right treatment option for you, contact our office today.
