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.

This appliance allows you to brush and floss normally, and it’s easy to keep the appliance clean.
North Attleboro Orthodontics Reviews
We had a wonderful experience receiving orthodontic treatment from North Attleboro Orthodontics and Dr. Tyler! From the initial consultation visit through the completion of treatment, every step was clearly explained. We were able to get in quickly if any issues arose (wire poking a gum, or a popped bracket). I do not hesitate to recommend this practice to those needing orthodontic work.
My appointment was on time and it was very efficient! The staff were very friendly, helpful, and informative. I was treated with care and kindness.
We could not be happier with North Attleboro Orthodontics. From the welcoming front desk staff, who always go above and beyond, to Dr. Tyler who actually spends time with each patient we have been extremely pleased with every step of the process and are happy to recommend them to anyone in our circle.
All staff is friendly and professional.
I am so happy and satisfied that we chose North Attleboro Orthodontics for my son’s braces. They are excellent and experts at their work. Ashley is super helpful when it comes to administrative stuff. Amanda is so wonderful and patient! You guys rock! Dr Tyler is the star, I could not have asked for better treatment for my son
