If you’re exploring orthodontic treatment and want a faster, more comfortable option than traditional braces, Pitts 21® self-ligating braces may be the perfect solution. These advanced braces use a low-friction system that allows your teeth to move more efficiently and comfortably—often resulting in shorter treatment times and fewer appointments. Here’s what makes Pitts Braces an excellent choice and why so many families in Escondido trust Happier Smiles Orthodontics for this modern treatment.
1. What Are Pitts 21® Self-Ligating Braces?
Pitts Braces are an innovative self-ligating system that uses specialized brackets with built-in doors rather than traditional elastic ties. This design allows the archwire to move smoothly within the bracket, reducing friction and creating a lighter, more precise force. The result? A more comfortable orthodontic experience with exceptional efficiency.
Patients love Pitts Braces because they offer:
-
Faster tooth movement
-
Reduced discomfort
-
Improved oral hygiene (no elastic ties trapping food)
-
A more aesthetic, low-profile look
2. Benefits of Choosing Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are designed to improve your smile using cutting-edge technology. Compared to traditional braces, Pitts 21® provides:
• Shorter Treatment Time
The low-friction design helps teeth shift more quickly and smoothly, which can reduce overall treatment time.
• Fewer Appointments
Since Pitts Braces don’t use elastic ties, adjustments are easier and less frequent, making treatment convenient for busy families.
• Greater Comfort
Gentle, continuous forces minimize soreness, especially in the first few days after adjustments.
• Cleaner & Easier to Maintain
Without elastics collecting food and plaque, patients usually find it easier to keep their teeth clean throughout treatment.
• Enhanced Facial Aesthetics
Pitts 21® is known for its “Smile Arc” design philosophy, helping create full, natural, and aesthetically pleasing smiles.
