Invisalign® and Hidden Braces
We offer the latest options for straightening your teeth, including Invisalign, KLOwen Braces, and hidden braces.
Lingual braces are the latest technology in aesthetic orthodontics. We use a 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 hidden braces, you can brush, floss, and eat normally, without the embarrassment of visible wires or glare of clear aligners. Find out more about hidden braces.
Kid’s Orthodontics – Setting the Foundation for Healthy Smiles
Our kid-friendly orthodontic services are designed to make treatment fun and stress-free. Dr. Hardy and Dr. Peterson specialize in early intervention orthodontics that can:
- Prevent more serious problems from developing
- Guide jaw growth properly
- Create space for emerging permanent teeth
- Reduce the need for tooth extraction
- Decrease the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
- Simplify and shorten future orthodontic treatment
We recommend the American Association of Orthodontists’ guideline that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This allows us to identify potential issues early when they’re easier to correct.
Teen Orthodontic Solutions
The teenage years are often the ideal time to address orthodontic issues. We offer teens in Northern Colorado several treatment options:
- Traditional metal braces (now smaller and more comfortable than ever)
- Clear ceramic braces for a more subtle appearance
- Invisalign® Teen clear aligners for nearly invisible treatment
- KLOwen braces system for faster, more comfortable treatment
Our office atmosphere is designed to make teens feel comfortable and confident. We understand the social aspects of orthodontic treatment during these important years and offer solutions that work with teens’ active lifestyles.

- Improved dental health and function
- Prevention of bone loss and gum disease
