Hardy Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a special kind of dentistry involving the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The technical term for crooked, crowded, or protruding teeth is "malocclusion" which means "bad bite." The practice of orthodontics involves the design, application of control of corrective appliances, commonly called braces, to treat and correct these problems.

Hardy Orthodontics primary goal is to improve oral health; crooked and crowded teeth are hard to maintain and clean. Poorly maintained teeth can cause tooth decay, tooth loss and gum disease. Naturally, you feel better when you look better, and a pleasing smile is a vital asset to one's self-confidence. A person's self-esteem often improves as orthodontic treatment brings teeth, lips and face into harmony. In this way, proper treatment can influence the individual's social and vocational success and general attitude toward life.
