What is it?

Braces have evolved dramatically in 20 years. Older braces, like those you may have worn, used outdated technology. Their elastic systems caused discomfort and other issues.

Old Braces: The Challenges
  • High friction, causing discomfort after adjustments
  • Hard to clean, increasing hygiene risks
  • Frequent tooth removal
  • Longer treatment times
Pitts21: The Modern Solution
At Koga Orthodontics, Pitts21 uses cutting-edge technology. A frictionless sliding door secures the bracket to the wire, transforming your experience.
  • Less discomfort, smoother adjustments
  • Easier to clean, better hygiene
  • Fewer extractions
  • Faster treatment times
Experience world-class care with Koga’s Pitts21 braces!

Know the difference

You can see Pitts21 difference by comparing the two images below.

Traditional Narrow Smile

Smile Arc Protection

Traditional narrow smile

Older orthodontic methods often required tooth extractions, leading to dark areas near the mouth. This approach is more costly due to the expense of both treatment and surgery.

Smile Arc Protection

A youthful, Hollywood-style smile is wider and more attractive because healthy teeth are preserved, not extracted. It’s more cost-effective, as it avoids the need for tooth removal.

Flattened Traditional Smile

A uniform level of teeth leads to a smile that lacks natural curvature.

Smile Arc Protection

Broad smile follows the curvature of lower lip.

6 tooth smile

A limited six-tooth smile is a common aesthetic change associated with aging.

12 tooth smile

12 tooth smile creates youthful esthetic.

Tipped in and/or flared out teeth

Teeth may appear aligned but remain tipped in or flared out.

Teeth in the right angle = a better bite

Teeth in ideal position contribute to efficient jaw mechanics.

Testimonials

“We have been with Koga orthodontics for several months now! | must say it’s by far the best decision | could have made for my daughter and her journey with her braces and her new smile. So far | have nothing to complain about at all. These women know what they’re doing, they get the job done, and the best thing is they are wonderful with the children. I’ve even seen many adults that see Dr.Koga and her lovely staff, so that tells me they are all trusted with any age! They do always seem to go above and beyond every time we go there. | wish every place in this world staffed with such nice and friendly people like you can find with Kogo orthodontics! | can’t wait to see my daughter’s transformation whenever we get there. It gives me GREAT peace as a mother and comfort to know that my child is always in good hands here. Honestly when | first found out my daughter needed braces, | was dreading the process and money of fixing her teeth. But now that we have come to know the staff here so well and how they work, | can 100% say that my husband and | gladly pay my daughters monthly “new smile” note every month knowing that this is money and time WELL SPENT!”
