The Importance of Customized Braces: How Pitts21 Adjusts to Your Unique Smile

Posted on August 1, 2025

When it comes to creating beautiful, healthy smiles, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why Dr. David Herman and the team at Four Corners Orthodontics & Dental proudly offer customized braces with the Pitts21 System of Braces – the most advanced self-ligating bracket system available today. Pitts21 is designed with precision, comfort, and efficiency in mind to deliver faster treatment times and exceptional results that are truly tailored to your individual smile.

Whether you’re in Farmington, NM, Gallup, NM, Chinle, AZ, Kayenta, AZ, or anywhere in the Four Corners area, our team is here to help children, teens, and adults achieve their smile goals with custom care.

Why Customization in Braces Matters

Everyone’s Smile is Different

Your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment are as unique as your fingerprint. Traditional braces use a uniform approach, which can result in longer treatment times and less ideal outcomes. The Pitts21 System stands apart by providing a custom fit that adapts to your specific orthodontic needs.

Precision = Faster Treatment

Thanks to its innovative design, Pitts21 allows for greater control over tooth movement, helping us to reduce the number of adjustments and office visits. At Four Corners Orthodontics & Dental, we can even offer same-day braces, making it easier than ever to start your journey toward a healthier smile.

What Makes Pitts21 Different?

Self-Ligating Brackets

Pitts21 braces use self-ligating brackets, which means they don’t require elastic or metal ties. This reduces friction, improves comfort, and promotes cleaner teeth throughout treatment.

3D Control for a Better Smile

With the Pitts21 System, we can guide tooth movement in all three dimensions, resulting in better facial balance and symmetry. That’s a big advantage for kids, teens, and adults who want not just straighter teeth but a more attractive overall appearance.

Comfortable and Efficient

Fewer adjustments mean fewer visits and a more comfortable experience. This is especially helpful for busy families traveling from nearby areas like Gallup, Chinle, or Kayenta.

Why Families in the Four Corners Trust Dr. David Herman

For decades, Dr. Herman has been known as the #1 orthodontist in the Four Corners area, providing expert care for thousands of patients. His practice is designed with families in mind—making it easy to schedule appointments for multiple family members on the same day.

Benefits of Pitts21 for Children, Teens, and Adults
