The Carriere Motion Appliance attaches to the canine tooth and first molar on each side of the mouth on the outside of the teeth. A strong dental glue keeps them affixed to the teeth during treatment. An elastic is placed on a tooth in the opposing arch.
The appliance puts light pressure on the molars and the canine teeth, moving them together at the same time. This pressure helps to correct a misaligned bite in the back teeth.
