Pitts21 Braces
A world without elastic ties!
Our office is pleased to offer the new revolutionary Pitts21 self-ligating bracket which uses a slide mechanism to hold the wire into the bracket, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. Pitts21 brackets feature new square-slot technology, a vast improvement over previous versions of the passive ligation braces. Thanks to these innovative braces, achieving your perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible!
Braces are the beginning, but the system makes the smile!
Pitts21 smiles are not just about revolutionary braces and wires; it’s a whole different approach to treating patients.
We feature Smile Arc Protection (SAP) which focuses on teeth AND face, giving you the best smile possible.
Technology
Pitts21 brackets feature square-slot technology which aligns the front teeth more precisely than ever before.
Comfort
Even though Pitts21 works quickly, the use of gentle, low-friction force means less discomfort for you. Very light “shape memory” titanium wires are used, gently guiding your teeth to their ideal position.
Convenience
Pitts21 braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and easy to keep clean. Without elastic ties, which attract and collect plaque, Pitts21 braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment. Plus, Pitts21
is available in clear brackets for patients who want a great smile without sacrificing aesthetics.
What is Smile Arc Protection (SAP)?
Recent advancements in orthodontics have driven doctors to evaluate not just teeth, but how straight teeth fit the face and overall smile pattern. The upper (Maxillary) teeth should follow the "arc" of the lower lip, which creates a much more harmonious and balanced smile. This is Smile Arc Protection!

How Self-Ligating Braces Work
At Goldsberry Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer advanced self-ligating braces to our Salt Lake City patients. This modern system is designed to deliver faster results, greater comfort, and fewer appointments compared to traditional braces making it ideal for both teens and adults.
Designed for the Comfort
Many patients are surprised at how comfortable our braces feel. The low-friction, light-force system allows teeth to move more naturally, which often leads to less soreness after adjustments. And because the system is so efficient.
A Cleaner, Healthier Option
Without elastic ties to trap food and plaque, it’s easier to keep your teeth and gums clean throughout your treatment. Brushing and flossing are simpler, and your risk of decay or gum inflammation is reduced.
Discreet Options Available
We also offer clear self-ligating brackets for patients who want a more discreet appearance. These blend in with your natural teeth, giving you all the benefits of advanced orthodontic treatment without the traditional metal look.
Effective for Complex Cases
Self-ligating braces are ideal for treating both simple and complex alignment issues. Whether you’re dealing with crowding, bite problems, or rotated teeth, this system gives Dr. Goldsberry the control needed to guide your smile with precision.
What Makes Self-Ligating Braces Different?
Traditional braces use elastic ties (tiny rubber bands) to hold the archwire in place. These ties can create extra friction, attract plaque, and slow down tooth movement. Our self-ligating braces, on the other hand, use a specialized clip mechanism to secure the wire.
