In orthodontics, the name Dr. Luis Carriere is synonymous with innovation, clinical expertise, and a commitment to advancing the field.

While many may associate his name with the Carriere Motion Class II and Class III corrector, Dr. Carriere is much more than an inventor. He is a master clinician, a gentleman of the highest order, and a second-generation orthodontist following in the footsteps of his renowned father.

In this Greatest Hits Series, we revisit a popular episode where he graciously shared his insights into different clinical aspects of orthodontics.

Among these clinical aspects we talk about is the crucial role of the tongue in malocclusions and overall oral health.

The improper positioning of the tongue during functions like swallowing, chewing, and speaking can contribute to malocclusions and open bites.

Dr. Carriere stresses the importance of training patients to reposition their tongues correctly. Understanding and addressing the tongue's role in orthodontics is essential for achieving long-term stability and preventing relapse.
