2019 Webinar - Management of the Carriere Motion Appliance Prior to Treatment with Fixed Appliances or Clear Aligners

The Carriere Motion appliance is an auxiliary appliance system that focuses on correcting the sagittal discrepancy in the initial stages of treatment. Used to correct both Class II and Class III malocclusions, this compliance-based treatment modality is effective in both growing and non-growing patients. With experience, associated side effects can be anticipated and prevented. This lecture will focus on the management of the Carriere Motion Appliance in a private practice environment in conjunction with rapid maxillary expansion, full fixed appliances, and clear aligner treatment.

Learning Objectives:

• Evaluate patients for treatment with the Carriere Motion Appliance.
• Comprehend the protocol for successful treatment with the Carriere Motion Appliance.
• Recognize and prevent associated side effects of treatment with the Carriere Motion Appliance.
