Carriere Motion Appliance
What is the carriere appliance?
For patients with complex orthodontic cases that require bite correction, the Carriere Motion Appliance might be the perfect fit. The appliance (called Carriere Arms), comes in both clear and metal colours. Carriere Motion Appliance was invented to speed up and ease bite correction for Class II and Class III patients.
Carriere Motion Appliance is suitable for patients of all ages. This is phase 1 of the Orthodontic Treatment (either used before the Fixed Appliance or as a combination with Invisalign aligners).
Dr Scriven is one of the speakers for Carriere Motion Appliance and shares his knowledge and expertise with other orthodontists about the changes this Appliance has made in patients’ journey.
Who can wear the carriere appliance?
The Carriere Appliance is a great first appliance for many of our younger patients. Small and comfortable in the mouth, it can get them used to wearing an appliance and what’s involved in the process of orthodontic treatment. It is also an effective appliance for our adult patients.
