One of our favorite parts of orthodontics happens years after the braces come off.
A former patient walks back into the Kadar Kabin, and we get to see where life has taken them.
For Belle Nicholas, life has taken her to some pretty incredible places.
Belle is a South Jersey native, clinical psychology graduate student, mental-health advocate, educator, vocalist—and Miss New Jersey 2025.
But before all of that, she was a Kadar patient.
And we couldn't resist asking her to come back and tell us about it.

Your Smile Goes With You
When you're going through orthodontic treatment, you're usually thinking about what's happening right now.
But your smile is really being created for everything that comes next.
Graduations. First jobs. Dates. Weddings. Family photos. Presentations. Vacations. Big opportunities.
And, every once in a while, standing onstage as Miss New Jersey.
"Kadar Orthodontics gave me more than just a great smile, they gave me a smile that gave me confidence" - Belle Nicholas
That's what makes Belle's story special to us.
We knew her as a Kadar patient. Today, she's using her voice to advocate for mental health, pursuing a career in clinical psychology and encouraging people throughout New Jersey to feel more confident being themselves.
That's quite a journey.
And Miss NJ's smile has been there for all of it.
It's About More Than Straight Teeth
Of course, orthodontics is about creating a healthy, properly aligned smile.
But there's something else we see every day at Kadar Orthodontics: confidence.
The confidence to smile without thinking about it.
To be in the picture instead of avoiding it.
To walk into a room feeling good about yourself.
For Dr. Tom Kadar, that's one of the best parts of what we do.
“We get to know patients during one chapter of their lives, and then sometimes we're lucky enough to see them years later and discover where life took them. Belle is a perfect example. We're proud that her Kadar smile got to be a little part of that story.”
Where Will Your Smile Take You?
Belle's story includes college, performing, mental-health advocacy, graduate school and the Miss New Jersey stage.
Yours will be completely different.
That's the point.
Your smile is going to be there for moments you haven't even imagined yet.
You don't need a crown. You don't need a spotlight. You just need a reason to smile.
