The Pitts 21 (P21) bracket is a Passive Self ligating (PSL) orthodontic bracket.
PSL means there is a Sliding Door on the brace that closes over the archwire and
has significantly less friction than traditional braces and allows teeth to move
more efficiently. It is the most advanced PSL bracket out today!
One of the hallmarks of the Pitts system is the width (expansion) that can be created.
Also, a focus with the Pitts system is creating a smile that shows more teeth, teeth
that “fit between the lips with the curve of the smile following the lower lip line”—known
as SmileArc. Esthetics matter as much as straight teeth, and SmileArc is the focus to
improve lip position and fullness, and teeth that fill the entire space in your smile—a
broader smile leaving no dark corners, only beautiful teeth.
See for yourself which smile is more esthetic and pleasing
To create or restore Smile Arc, the braces on the front teeth are placed a bit more
toward the gum tissue to place your teeth naturally between the lips
Do you have a flat smile line? Can you see all your teeth when you smile?
