Why the Sagittal First Approach?
Dr. Edward Angle is known as the “father of orthodontics” because of his exceptional work and how he moved this area of dentistry forward. One such way was how he classified bite issues into three classes: Class 1 being a proper bite, Class 2 an overbite, and Class 3 an underbite.
The relationship between the top and bottom teeth is known as the Sagittal dimension of occlusion (or bite). An orthodontist’s job is to make sure this relationship falls into Class 1.
Here’s how our orthodontist makes this possible at North Attleboro Orthodontics:
Establish a Relationship
-
We aim to create a Class 1 relationship before we begin your braces treatment. Hence the term “Sagittal First.” This is to ensure the braces work more efficiently and the end result is not only beautiful-looking teeth but also a fully-functioning smile.
Motion 3D
-
The Carriere® Motion 3D appliance addresses the Sagittal dimension and helps create a proper bite. This appliance gradually uses natural forces to move your bite into position without using uncomfortable headgear or alternative treatments.
Finish It Off
-
Once the Carriere® appliance has moved the bite into the proper position, we will identify the ideal braces or aligning solution. This may include Invisalign® or our ceramic braces option.
Benefits for You
Six reasons why Sagittal First is your first choice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My son completed his orthodontic treatment at North Attleboro Orthodontics in January 2025, and I was so impressed with his experience that I decided to pursue treatment for myself. I started in May 2025 and completed it September 2026. I’m so glad I did!Dr. Tyler was wonderful—professional, patient, and always took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. Amanda was incredibly friendly and caring at every appointment, and Ashley from the administration, was always helpful and made everything so easy.The entire team is warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and my results!I highly recommend North Attleboro Orthodontics. I’m so glad our family found such an amazing practice! ❤️
Friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable.
I’ve been through multiple orthodontist offices and by far the best on yet!! Thank you Ashley Aguiar for everything you’ve been the best help I could have asked for!!! Thank you.
From the moment we walked in to the office we felt welcome. The decor, the comfort and the friendly faces put my boys at ease. Both hygienists we met were amazing, supportive and thorough. Every step of the visit was explained. Doctor Tyler was the same; thorough, friendly and responsive to any questions or concerns I had. They discussed each step and supported me in making decisions about my children's dental needs. I'm so happy we chose this office!
Great team - always on time, friendly, and explains things. Highly recommend!
