Carriere Motion Appliance

Carriere Motion with Class II elastic attached to hook on the cuspid pad. Class I Platform is present when a cuspid occlusion, in which centric relation coincides with centric occlusion, and the molar occlusal relationships are a perfect Class I.

How it Works

• Corrects the posterior occlusion to an ideal Class I platform first by rotating and uprighting the maxillary first molars while distalizing the posterior segment, from canine or premolor to molars, into a perfect occlusion.
• Simultaneously produces a light, uniform force for distal molar movement.
• Independently moves each posterior segment, from canine or premolar to molar, as a unit.
• Used at the beginning of treatment when there are no competing forces in the mouth allows the distalization of the molars and premolars from 3 to 6mm range, on average.
