Orthodontics is about more than just creating a straighter smile - it’s also about achieving a healthy, balanced bite that supports long-term dental health. At Modern Orthodontics, we use advanced techniques to make your treatment as efficient and effective as possible. One of the tools we may recommend is the Carriere® Appliance, which helps correct your bite early in the process. By addressing alignment issues at the start, we can often reduce the total time you’ll spend in braces or aligners - without compromising on results. It’s just one of the many ways we tailor treatment to suit your needs.

What is the Carriere® Appliance?

The Carriere® Motion 3D™ Appliance is a specialised orthodontic device used to correct bite issues - specifically Class II (overbite) and Class III (underbite) cases. It works by gently repositioning the back teeth to align your bite before you begin treatment with braces or clear aligners, setting the foundation for a more efficient and successful outcome.

With its sleek, low-profile design, the Carriere® Appliance is more discreet and comfortable than many traditional functional appliances. At your fitting appointment, our team will carefully bond it to your teeth. From there, it works gradually and effectively, guiding your molars and canines into their ideal positions - helping reduce overall treatment time while improving bite function and aesthetics.
