Sagittal
First^™

The Sagittal First Philosophy is a ground-breaking
orthodontic approach that standardizes, simplifies,
and shortens Class II and Class III treatment.

The Ultimate Success Formula in Orthodontics
for Class II and Class III Treatment.

Sagittal First employs the Carriere® Motion 3D™ Appliance to treat the AP dimension at the beginning of treatment before placing brackets or aligners. By resolving the most difficult part of treatment first, you can achieve a Class I platform in 3 to 6 months, shortening total treatment time by a minimum of 6 months.1 You know how excited patients and parents become when you mention shorter treatment times!
