Discover the Latest in Invisible Orthodontics in Loveland
Do you want a truly invisible way to straighten your teeth? Hidden braces are an orthodontic treatment that stays completely hidden while transforming your smile. At our Loveland orthodontic practice, Dr. Hardy provides this innovative teeth-straightening solution that works behind the scenes while you live your life with confidence.
Dr. T.C. Hardy and our team are proud to offer hidden braces – the only completely hidden orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth without interrupting your lifestyle or hiding your smile during the process.
What Are Hidden Braces?
Hidden braces are a groundbreaking orthodontic system that uses personalized Smartwire technology placed behind your teeth to gently transform your smile. Unlike traditional braces that are cemented on the front of your teeth or clear aligners that require daily removal, hidden braces remain completely hidden from view while working continuously to straighten your teeth.
The system uses a custom-designed Smartwire that fits precisely to the contours of your teeth. This innovative wire is programmed with Gentleforce technology using advanced shape memory alloy that guides your teeth gently into alignment according to the treatment plan created by Dr. Hardy.
Benefits of Hidden Braces
Choosing hidden braces for your orthodontic treatment offers several big advantages that make it an ideal option for many of our Loveland patients:
- Completely Invisible Treatment: The entire system sits behind your teeth, so no one will notice you’re wearing braces unless you tell them
- Live Your Life Normally: Unlike removable aligners, you are able to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally while treatment keeps working
- No Monthly Tightening: The Smartwire technology works on autopilot, reducing the number of adjustment appointments needed
- Start Smiling Right Away: Since your treatment is invisible, you can smile confidently from day one instead of waiting until treatment ends
- Comfortable Design: The customized Smartwire is digitally designed to fit your unique dental anatomy for maximum comfort
These benefits make hidden braces particularly appealing for adults and teens who want effective orthodontic treatment without the visual impact of traditional braces or the lifestyle adjustments required with removable aligners.
How Do Hidden Braces Work?
The hidden braces process at our Loveland office begins with digital scanning of your teeth. Dr. Hardy uses these scans to create a precise 3D model of your mouth, which serves as the blueprint for your individual treatment plan.
Using advanced computer modeling and AI technology, we design your custom Smartwire to move your teeth according to your specific needs. The Smartwire is programmed with the exact movements needed to guide your teeth into optimal alignment.
Once your custom Smartwire is ready, Dr. Hardy places it behind your teeth where it remains throughout your treatment. The wire works continuously, applying gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth into their ideal positions.
