Carriere Motion Appliance

The Carriere Motion Appliance is a modern orthodontic solution designed to correct developing bite problems, often before traditional braces or aligners are fitted. Our specialists use this appliance to help patients achieve faster, more effective results with fewer complications.

What is the Carriere Motion Appliance?

The Carriere Motion Appliance consists of a sleek bar that attaches to your upper molars and an anchor bonded to the lower back molars. Elastics are used to connect the upper and lower points, creating a gentle pressure that helps guide the bite into a more ideal position.

This appliance is most often used in younger patients who are developing a bite issue that could benefit from early correction. This treatment typically lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on the severity of the problem.

Benefits of the Carriere Motion Appliance

Here are a few of the benefits of this innovative orthodontic appliance:

Shortens overall treatment time by addressing bite issues early on
Less invasive than other bite correction methods, such as headgear
Discreet and comfortable design
Can reduce the need for tooth extractions or more complex procedures
Often used before braces or clear aligners, it prepares the mouth for more efficient straightening
