In 1948, he joined the Institute of Dental Surgery at the Eastman Dental Hospital as Head of the Orthodontic Department.[2] Ballard's interest in the field pertained to the respiratory function and the effects of orofacial musculature on malocclusions.

With the help of John Hovell he formed the Consultant Orthodontists Group (COG).[3]
He married Muriel Burling in 1937 and had two children, a son and a daughter.
Ballard Conversion Tracing
[edit]Ballard described a method for studying the jaw relationship in the Antero-Posterior direction in 1951. This method used the axial inclination of the incisor teeth to study the relationship. This method removes any influence of soft tissues and dental compensation and permits an adjustment to the inclination of the maxillary and mandibular incisors to their normal value in respect to maxillary and mandibular planes.[4] This method uses incisor overjet as the indicator of the relative position of the maxilla to the mandible. Thus the overjet describes the skeletal discrepancy.[5]
Recognition
