Meet Our Doctors
Dr. T.C. Hardy
Dr. T.C. Hardy’s journey in dentistry began with a B.S. in Engineering from Tufts University, followed by a dental degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. He then pursued Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, before returning to Tufts to complete his Certificate in Orthodontics. During his time at Tufts, he was also proud to serve as President of his graduating class. Over the years, Dr. Hardy has continued to grow in his field, and today he oversees as part of a thriving private orthodontic group practice.
Outside of his professional life, Dr. Hardy enjoys spending quality time with his wife and three kids, exploring the beauty of the Rockies, and trying out new restaurants.
Dr. Addie Peterson
A transplant from the East Coast, Dr. Addie Peterson grew up in a small town outside of Burlington, Vermont. She received her B.S. in biology and mathematics from St. Lawrence University in 2014 before moving to the Midwest for her dental training. While completing dental school at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Peterson discovered a desire to pursue orthodontics. After receiving her D.D.S. degree in May of 2019, she went on to the University of Iowa, where she earned her Master of Science and Certificate in Orthodontics in June of 2022.
When Dr. Peterson is not in the office she loves to spend her time doing almost anything outdoors. Canoeing, camping, skiing, hiking, fishing, and enjoying quality time with family and especially her chocolate lab Maple. She loves exploring Colorado’s amazing mountains and other outdoor treasures with her partner, and more recently she has started ultrarunning. On the rare rainy Colorado day you can find her in the kitchen making pasta or baking up a storm, or curling up with a good book and her crocheting.
Dr. Peterson is not just your orthodontic associate, but a friendly face in the community who understands the importance of both a confident smile and a vibrant, active life.
Dr. Liz Lukens
Originally from St. Joseph, Missouri, where she graduated as valedictorian, Dr. Lukens has always had a passion for learning and service. During her residency, she earned both the NESO Resident Research Award and the NESO Cup for her research on LightForce brackets.
Outside of academics, she is a founding member of “Hogs for Hope,” supporting the Children’s Miracle Network, and has volunteered with several organizations. Dr. Lukens enjoys running half marathons, exploring new restaurants, watching documentaries, and playing board games like Settlers of Catan. Traveling and spending time with loved ones keeps her feeling grounded and inspired.
Dr. Anil Idiculla
Dr. Anil Idiculla, a.k.a “Dr. I”, opened his first practice over 15 years ago in Colorado. He then grew his practice to include multiple locations and doctors over the years. He attended college and completed his residency at the University of Pennsylvania, and dental school at Nova Southeastern University in South Florida.
Dr. Idiculla is the past President of the Colorado Orthodontic Association and the Rocky Mountain Society of Orthodontists, and previously was elected to serve on the Board of Trustees at the American Association of Orthodontists, the highest level of service for all orthodntists. An international lecturer, he is very philanthropically active both locally and internationally and has established two non-profit orthodontic locations in Haiti and Uganda.
