Posted on April 17, 2025
At Four Corners Dental & Orthodontics (FCOD), Dr. David Herman proudly offers the Pitts21 System of Braces, an advanced self-ligating system designed to create beautiful, healthy smiles with greater efficiency. But how does it work? Let’s explore the science behind Pitts21 and why so many patients in Farmington, NM, Gallup, NM, Chinle, AZ, and the surrounding Four Corners area trust us to transform their smiles.
Understanding the Pitts21 System of Braces
Unlike traditional braces that rely on elastic ties to hold wires in place, the Pitts21 System of Braces uses a self-ligating design that reduces friction and allows for smoother, more efficient tooth movement. This innovative system offers numerous benefits, including:
- Faster treatment times
- Fewer orthodontic visits
- Greater comfort and less pressure
- A more natural-looking, broad smile
The Science of Pitts21: How It Works
1. Self-Ligating Brackets for Less Friction and Faster Movement
Pitts21 braces use sliding-door technology, meaning the wires move freely within the brackets without the need for rubber bands. This low-friction movement allows teeth to shift into place more quickly and with less discomfort compared to traditional braces.
2. Low-Force, High-Efficiency Archwires
The specialized heat-activated archwires used in Pitts21 braces respond to body temperature, applying consistent and gentle pressure on the teeth. This leads to faster and more predictable results while minimizing discomfort.
3. Designed for a Full, Natural Smile
The Pitts21 system focuses on smile arc protection, ensuring teeth follow a natural curve that enhances facial aesthetics. This results in a broader, more balanced smile that looks great from every angle.
