Carriere® Distalizer™ Appliance in Markham

Innovative First-Phase Treatment for Efficient Bite Correction

Understanding Carriere® Distalizer™ Appliance

Innovative Appliance for Efficient Bite Correction

The Carriere® Distalizer™ Appliance represents a groundbreaking advancement in orthodontic treatment, designed to correct bite discrepancies efficiently before full braces or aligners are placed. This innovative device works similarly to traditional headgear but provides significantly improved comfort and aesthetics.

Developed by renowned orthodontist Dr. Luis Carriere, this appliance addresses Class II malocclusions (overbites) by gently moving the upper molars and canines backward to create proper alignment with the lower teeth. The sleek, low-profile design attaches to the outside of your upper teeth, remaining far less noticeable than traditional orthodontic appliances. For patients in Markham seeking effective bite correction without the social discomfort of headgear, the Carriere® Distalizer™ at Oasis Orthodontics offers an ideal first-phase treatment solution that can potentially reduce overall treatment time and complexity.

Benefits of the Carriere® Distalizer™ Appliance

The Carriere® Distalizer™ offers several advantages compared to traditional methods:

Improved Aesthetics

The sleek, minimalist design is far less noticeable than traditional headgear.

Enhanced Comfort

The smooth, contoured appliance eliminates the discomfort associated with bulky external headgear.

Faster Treatment

Many patients achieve bite correction in just 3–6 months of Carriere® treatment.

Reduced Overall Treatment Time

By efficiently correcting bite problems first, the subsequent phase of treatment often proceeds more quickly.

Fewer Extractions

The Carriere® Distalizer™ can often eliminate the need for tooth extractions in many Class II cases.

Better Compliance

The discrete appearance and increased comfort lead to better patient cooperation and more predictable results.
