EARNED PLACEMENT Art and Architecture Inspire a 2021 Townie Choice Award Recipient: Carriere Motion 3D Appliance for Sagittal Correction What inspired your invention of the Carriere Motion 3D Appliance? I have always been interested in art, in sculpture, in painting and in organic forms, curves and smooth forms. Skeletal anatomy is all about curves. So naturally, I've also been fascinated by anatomy. When I conceptualized Motion, the idea was to simplify sagittal correction to the max. When thinking about invention or art, always for me the best way is to observe Mother Nature. In imitating the articulation of the human hip joint and the rotation of our arms, I began to envision an efficient appliance for global A/P correction in one step. What could be better than imitating what nature and evolution has designed for movement over the millennia (Fig. 1)? orthotown.com \\ MAY 2022 39 Fig. 1: Carriere Motion 3D Appliance for Class II correction.http://www.orthotown.com
