CARRIERE

The Carriere distalizer is used to correct an overjet by moving the upper teeth back and the lower teeth forward.

A space maintainer is attached to the bottom teeth and the Carriere is attached to the top teeth. An elastic is used to connect the Carriere to the space maintainer and it slowly moves the upper teeth back and the lower teeth forward.

No other braces are used during this stage of treatment. Braces will be placed after the bite is corrected. This treatment approach usually shortens the time braces need to be worn.
