The Science of Tooth Movement: How Pitts21 Braces Work Efficiently & Effectively
Posted on September 2, 2025
At Four Corners Orthodontics & Dental (FCOD) in Farmington, NM, Dr. David Herman uses the Pitts21 System of Braces to help patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles faster and more comfortably. Whether you’re looking for orthodontic care for your child, your teen, or yourself, the Pitts21 system delivers efficient results for families across Farmington, Gallup, Chinle, Kayenta, and the surrounding Four Corners area.
What Makes the Pitts21 System of Braces Different
Self-Ligating Technology
Unlike traditional braces that require elastic ties, Pitts21 braces use a self-ligating system designed to reduce friction and speed up tooth movement. This advanced technology allows for more controlled, efficient adjustments while making treatment more comfortable.
Aesthetic and Comfortable Design
The Pitts21 brackets are smaller, smoother, and less noticeable than traditional brackets. Patients often report less irritation and greater confidence during treatment — especially teens and adults who want a discreet orthodontic option.
The Science Behind Efficient Tooth Movement
Light Force, Faster Results
Pitts21 braces use light, continuous pressure to move teeth more naturally. This mimics the way teeth shift biologically, which can result in:
- Shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces
- Fewer office visits for adjustments
- Less overall discomfort throughout treatment
