Preparing you for orthodontic treatment

What is the Carriere Appliance?

The Carriere Appliance is a small correction appliance which is fitted to the side of your teeth. Extremely discreet and comfortable to wear, it works with small elastic bands to apply pressure to your teeth to guide them into position. This appliance helps with the preliminary movement of your teeth, setting them up to receive more complex orthodontic treatment with appliances such as Invisalign aligners or traditional metal braces.

Benefits of the Carriere Appliance

There are many benefits to having the Carriere Appliance fitted as your first appliance. These include:

• Easy appliance to wear with no cheek or lip irritation
• Small and discreet in the mouth so no-one will notice you’re wearing it
• Doesn’t affect your speech
• It’s still easy to brush and clean your teeth, keeping up your oral hygiene routine
• It reduces the amount of time you need to wear braces or Invisalign aligners for later on.
