When it comes to braces and orthodontic treatment, technology isn’t just a perk, it’s essential to creating the best possible outcomes. At WOW! Smiles, we’ve built our entire care model around making treatment more efficient, more comfortable, and more precise using the most advanced tools available.
From self-ligating bracket systems like Pitts21™, to iTero® digital scanning and early treatment options inspired by industry leaders, we’ve taken what works, and made it work even better for our patients. Whether you’re starting early orthodontics for your child or exploring braces as an adult, our technology puts you on the fast track to results.
Technology That Speeds Things Up, Without Sacrificing Comfort
One of the biggest technological advantages at WOW! Smiles is our use of Pitts21 braces, a cutting-edge self-ligating bracket system designed to reduce friction and speed up treatment.
Unlike traditional braces that use elastic ties to hold the wire in place, Pitts21 brackets allow the wire to glide smoothly within the slot. This provides several benefits right from the beginning:
- Faster tooth movement with fewer delays
- Less discomfort during adjustments
- Fewer office visits because wires don’t need constant adjustment
- Easier brushing and flossing thanks to the absence of elastic ties
- Greater precision in tooth movement from day one
Patients love Pitts21 not just for how effective it is, but for how it provides more comfort, works faster, and reduces the amount of office visits for adjustments.
How Pitts21 Compares to Other Bracket Systems
Pitts21 vs. Damon Brackets
Both Pitts21 and Damon brackets are passive self-ligating systems, but they differ significantly in execution.
Here’s why WOW! Smiles chooses Pitts21 over Damon:
- Greater accuracy, faster progress: Pitts21 begins guiding teeth into the right position earlier in treatment for noticeable changes sooner.
- Enhanced Smile Arc: Brackets are placed higher to naturally support a broad, youthful smile that lasts.
- Smaller, smoother design: Pitts21 brackets are lower profile and more comfortable than Damon, particularly compared to older models.
- Fewer adjustments needed: Built-in precision reduces the number of wire changes, helping you finish treatment faster with fewer visits.
While both systems reduce reliance on elastics and require fewer visits than traditional braces, Pitts21 delivers a next-level experience in both comfort and efficiency.
Pitts21 vs. KLOwen Custom Braces
KLOwen is a custom digital bracket system that uses 3D software and indirect bonding trays to place each bracket with precision. While that level of customization is impressive, the system still relies on traditional twin bracket mechanics, which use elastic ties and introduce more friction, potentially causing more discomfort throughout your treatment.
Pitts21, on the other hand, is built from the ground up for speed and simplicity. It uses:
- A self-ligating design that eliminates ties and reduces chair time
- More precise tooth movement early in treatment
- Designed with comfort in mind with smaller brackets and a gentler force
- Better efficiency in non-extraction cases, preserving facial aesthetics while moving teeth quickly
Both systems are modern, but Pitts21 is engineered for fewer adjustments, fewer visits, and more predictable finishes. That’s why it’s our preferred choice.
Early Orthodontic Solutions That Make a Big Difference
Some patients benefit from early intervention before all permanent teeth have erupted. At WOW! Smiles, our approach to Phase 1 orthodontics includes the use of non-invasive, space-gaining methods including removable appliances and Berni Tube brackets.
The innovative Berni Tube system is used exclusively by WOW! Smiles to:
- Create space for permanent teeth to erupt naturally
- Promote healthy arch development
- Avoid the need for bulky expanders
- Minimize the chances of future extractions
These early solutions are especially valuable for kids, and they’re part of our commitment to making treatment as simple and effective as possible at every stage.
