Gabriel Carriere is leading the San Jose Barracuda’s playoff push
which is a good trait for a goalie,” said head coach John McCarthy on Wednesday
after Carriere blanked the San Diego Gulls 3-0
It’s somebody that guys play confident in front of.”
Carriere was signed by the Barracuda out of University of Vermont last year
but San Jose Sharks prospects Yaroslav Askarov and Georgi Romanov were ahead of him on the Cuda depth chart to start the season
Carriere began his year with the ECHL’s Wichita Thunder
McCarthy noted that Carriere earned his way to San Jose after recording a 14-9-2 record and .922 Save % with Wichita
and came back and got rewarded with a call-up and has worked hard since he’s been here and been rewarded with the results
McCarthy added: “A lot of times when guys get sent to the East Coast League
And I think he reacted the right way.”
the San Jose Sharks announced they’d signed Carriere
to a contract for the rest of the year on Mar
It’s one thing I’m learning about the pros
some things happen really quickly once they’re in motion,” the Ottawa native said
Speaking of things happening really quickly
that’s how Carriere found himself starting eight of the Barracuda’s last 11 games
since top prospect Yaroslav Askarov went down with a lower-body injury on Feb
Carriere is 7-5-2 with a .908 Save % in his rookie AHL campaign
and feel like I’ve definitely gotten a bigger load of games this time around,” Carriere said
“I’m just trying to make the most of it.”
Carriere is making the most of the San Jose Sharks’ organization’s trust in him
3 or 4 on the Barracuda depth chart in training camp
with the Cuda’s biggest games this season
hoping to qualify for its first non-COVID playoffs since 2019
is sixth in the Pacific Division with a .576 Points %
The top-seven teams in the Pacific make the post-season
the Tucson Roadrunners seventh at .534 and the Bakersfield Condors eighth at .526 snapping at the Barracuda’s heels
“I wasn’t overly concerned,” McCarthy said
of turning to Carriere with both Askarov and Romanov hurt
The San Jose Sharks organization is hoping that Askarov can re-join practice next week
11 pick to re-take the Barracuda net sooner than later
but Carriere has certainly opened eyes this season
Gabriel Carriere is also getting more direct support from San Jose Sharks staff right now
like director of goaltending Evgeni Nabokov
then compared to his time with the Wichita Thunder
“Just some little things away from the puck and angles
stuff like that,” Carriere said of his practice and video sessions
and try to keep my scrambling to a minimum.”
“I think he’s done a nice job for us,” McCarthy said

SAN JOSE, Calif. (April 3, 2025) – San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) General Manager Mike Grier announced today that the club has recalled goaltender Gabriel Carriere from the San Jose Barracuda
This is the first NHL recall of his career
has split his season between the Barracuda and the Wichita Thunder (ECHL)
he ranks second in shutouts (2) and wins (8) in 19 appearances
19 where he stopped 18 pucks in the 4-0 victory against San Diego
Both of Carriere’s shutouts this season were recorded this past month
Carriere appeared in 25 games with the Thunder
holding a record of 14-9-2 with a .922 SV%
Carriere played with the University of Vermont (NCAA) for four years
He finished with a 28-50-8 record with a .908 SV% and a 2.75 GAA
which is given to the top NCAA collegiate player
the Barracuda have now scored power-play goals in their last seven outings
In the second, San Diego was held to just five shots, despite going on a pair of power plays, and at 14:23, the Barracuda made it 3-0 during a delayed penalty when Ethan Frisch (3) blasted in his first in 43 games from the right point
In the third, the Gulls outshot the Barracuda 12-7 but could not beat Carriere. At 19:04, Colin White (12) sealed the win with a shorthanded empty-netter
BOX SCORE
The Barracuda return to the ice on Saturday in Bakersfield against the Condors and return home on Sunday (5 p.m.) for the second game of a home-and-home. For tickets and more info, go to sjbarracuda.com

After neither team would score again in regulation
For the Barracuda it was the second time in their last three games that they needed the extra time
the two teams combined for seven shots but failed to claim the second point so the game went to a shootout.

A detail of a whorl of hydrilla pulled from the shallow waters at O’Hara’s Landing Marina in fall of 2024
SALISBURY — The Twin Lakes Association is taking an earlier and more aggressive approach to fighting the spread of invasive hydrilla in East Twin Lake by dosing the whole northeast bay
with low-level herbicide treatments instead of spot treatments
the TLA’s vice president of lake management
is to sustain herbicide concentration over the 2025 growing season
That plan of attack will continue over a period of 60 to 90 days beginning May 21
Conklin explained during the association’s April 30 membership meeting via Zoom which drew 60 attendees
TLA officials were encouraged by the chance to stop the spread and hopefully destroy the thick mats of the unyielding invasive plant hydrilla verticillata
referred to as the Connecticut River variant
after two years of chasing new growth around the lake’s north bay
Dense patches were first discovered in the summer of 2023 in shallow waters around O’Hara’s Landing Marina and the nearby state boat launch and the plant has since migrated further into East Twin
Past treatment efforts were hampered by delayed permits from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to treat the hydrilla with herbicides in an area where a rare plant had been identified
as any protected plant species in the path of hydrilla would likely not survive anyway
but it is going to be if we don’t do something about the hydrilla.”
so we spot treated it … and were always chasing it.”
is to treat the entire northeast bay with the herbicide Sonar in both liquid and crystal form at a very low levels so that the herbicide’s contact time with hydrilla will be extended for a longer period over 60 to 90 days
“We know from past experience that it is much easier to kill the plant when it’s small,” Conklin explained
green weed before August when it crowns and splits into numerous growing points that are capable of growing at the rate of an inch a day
discussion also focused on a pilot program for enhanced cyanobacteria monitoring at Twin Lakes to be headed by TLA director Jessica Swartz
a resident of West Twin Lake and biotech executive with Pfizer
“It’s very visibly challenging to identify cyanobacteria blooms,” Swartz explained
as it can easily be confused with pollen on the surface of the water
dead vegetation or different types of algae
important phytoplankton in lake ecosystems
occur when there is an abundance of sunlight
elevated phosphorus levels and warm temperatures
Given the current escalation in overly-nutrient rich waterbodies and rising temperatures due to global climate change
the frequency of cyanobacteria blooms is increasing
and Twin Lakes has occasionally experienced localized blooms
the association will be implementing a pilot testing program with greater frequency and at more locations than currently conducted by the TLA’s limnologist
The goal of the pilot program is to work out the process of collecting reliable data over time that helps inform whether cyanobacteria blooms are occurring
Sample test kits have been ordered for five or six testing sites across East and West Twin
TLA president Gant Bogle invited Swartz to give an update at the association’s upcoming June 14 membership meeting at Camp Isola Bella
Despite rising lake management costs projected at $500,000 this year
Bogle reported that the TLA is in strong shape financially heading into the 2025 season
as it received another $75,000 grant from DEEP and $25,000 from the Bates Foundation to support the Watershed Study
the town of Salisbury has earmarked $75,000 for Twin Lakes this season
and the TLA membership has “responded generously” contributing more than $300,000 since August 2024 when the group started its 2025 fundraising campaign
Bogle also encouraged members to attend the May 12 public meeting of the Salisbury Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission
which is expected to address proposed changes to the Upland Review Area encompassing the town’s lakes

Belden House & Mews is an elegant gem of a hotel set within the newly restored 1888 Victorian mansion of Dr
the transformation of this historic home into a modern retreat is nothing short of inspiring
Belden House & Mews officially opens on May 1
Principal designer Courtney Brannan of Champalimaud Design used local craftsmen and artisans to create the serene and comfortable interior
Owners Anthony and Charlie Champalimaud live in Litchfield with their young family
When asked to explain the philosophy behind this project
“Reviving this once derelict estate with its gracious
subtly ornate and expansive physical attributes established a narrative conducive to the approach to hospitality we first established at Troutbeck.” Champalimaud continued
one which spans early American and modernist architecture
as the bridging property between the estates of historic North Street and the town green
dovetails with our bias to invite guests into a residential-feeling environment
More of an invitation to come and live with us
The year-long renovation uncovered proud signatures from 19th century builders and craftsmen on the plaster behind the woodwork
Extraordinary attention to detail includes bespoke wallpaper from twenty2 grasscloth
Connecticut printed with the historical signatures and floral traceries unearthed from old wallcoverings
paneled front door still opens to a warming hearth beneath the original carved granite lintel deeply incised with lines from Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “Come what come may
Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.”
The design aesthetic of Alexandra Champalimaud
is evident behind every detail of the Belden House & Mews
interior designer of such luxe hotels as Raffles in Singapore
and a member of the Interior Design Hall of Fame
“We embraced the locale throughout our design
collaborating with local makers and craftsmen to create a color journey full of warmth and curiosity
We highlighted the contrast between Belden House’s traditional spirit and the modernism of the 1950’s-era Mews building
where furniture silhouettes inspired by midcentury art and architecture bring splashes of color to tonal room envelopes
The project is a journey in which guests feel welcomed and at home as sunlight streams in through the windows.”

offers a rare look into the working studios of painters
This isn’t a polished gallery stroll — it’s the clatter of tools
but it will not be dull,” said one of the organizers
ArtEast has expanded beyond its signature October event to include this springtime tour focused on process over polish
“The May tour gives voice to practitioners of artforms that are inherently messy,” said Madden
a Poughquag-based stone artist and longtime ArtEast participant
“I love having people visit my studio and ask questions
‘How?’ is a common question because the material — stone — is difficult for some to imagine how to work it,but that’s a question for a technician
‘Why?’ is the question I always hope for because it’s asking the artist if the viewer is clearly understanding the message I created.”
Madden will be opening Rock and A Soft Place Studios in Poughquag alongside his wife
a fiber and metal artist who co-chairs the event
“Each medium challenges my creativity,” said Karen
“as I learn to work with different materials.”

Ontario, Ca. – The San Jose Barracuda (26-18-2-3) never trailed on Saturday, upending the Ontario Reign (30-15-2-1)
the Cuda snapped their three-game skid versus the Reign and ended Ontario’s seven-game points streak and four-game winning streak
In the second, Ontario failed to clear their end and a tick-tack-toe passing sequence would lead to Thomas Bordeleau (11) roofing an Ethan Cardwell backhand feed past Copley at 4:45
The Barracuda would finish the period by outshooting the Reign 8-7 and carried their 1-0 advantage into the second intermission

but Gabriel Carriere has put together a solid season
Last April, the San Jose Barracuda inked the University of Vermont goalie to an amateur tryout agreement, then signed Carriere to a contract for the 2024-25 season. Both Barracuda head coach John McCarthy and an NHL scout were impressed by what they saw of Carriere last year
“Scott Fitzgerald followed Gabe at Vermont
and had Ryan Miller watch him as well,” Barracuda GM Joe Will explained to San Jose Hockey Now recently
Thrives on pressure situations like coming back in games.”
Fitzgerald is the San Jose Sharks’ director of player personnel and Miller is a goalie scout. Sharks GM Mike Grier recently gave Fitzgerald credit for signing Anthony Vincent
So Carriere could be the next Fitzgerald find
The 24-year-old has kept the momentum going in his first full pro season
starring for the ECHL’s Wichita Thunder and in spot duty for the Cuda
SJHN caught up with the 6-foot-2 netminder recently to talk about his journey from Vermont to Wichita to San Jose

Metrics details
Sutures from natural and synthetic materials are utilized to close wounds
We used mechanical and chemical methods to extract cellulose fibers from cylindrical snake grass (Dracaena angolensis) (Welw
the fibers increased in cellulose and water content
The extracted fibers exhibited good mechanical properties
with weight losses of 7.4% in deionized water (DI) and 13.7% in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)
the commercial braided silk sutures (Mersilk braided silk non-absorbable suture) used as a control showed no weight loss
the morphology of the fibers remained consistent throughout the 35-day immersion period in either DI or PBS
a semi-quantitative analysis of host tissue reactions indicated no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the two suturing materials across all criteria
confirming the comparable biocompatibility of cylindrical snake grass fibers to that of commercial silk sutures
These findings demonstrate the promising potential of natural cellulose fibers derived from cylindrical snake grass as an alternative source of a non-absorbable surgical suture biomaterial
attributed to their outstanding mechanical properties and biocompatibility
which is essential for applications where cleanliness and fiber purity are of utmost importance
The use of ethanol in this context enhances both environmental and functional aspects of the cleaning process
no prior studies have used this fiber for surgical sutures
Plant-based cellulose fibers are biodegradable
offering an affordable alternative to current biodegradable sutures without compromising performance
this paper investigates the properties of cylindrical snake grass fiber extracted using a combination of mechanical and chemical processes for potential suture applications
The extracted fibers were analyzed for their chemical composition and mechanical properties
and were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques
The optimal extracted fibers were further tested for biodegradability
and X-ray analysis was used to measure the crystallinity index of both the fibers and commercial silk sutures
In vivo studies were also conducted to compare their performance with commercial silk sutures
The fibers were extracted from fresh cylindrical snake grass stalks using a hand-operated mechanical decorticator machine (F1)
The extracted fibers were cleaned with tap water to eliminate dirt before being air-dried
and dirt (F2) were removed from the raw decorticated fibers with a mechanical decorticator
The extracted fibers were cut into 35–45 cm lengths and soaked in ethanol for 2 h at room temperature
the fibers were dried and stored in an airtight container within a desiccator (F3)
A Jeol JSM-6400 scanning electron microscope equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) (Jeol Ltd.
Japan) was used to examine the surface morphology and elemental composition of the fibers
Images were taken using an accelerating voltage of 15 kV and a magnification 250 and 500 times of origin
EDX was performed on the SEM images at 1000× magnification
A Nicolet 6700 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) (Thermo Scientific
USA) was used to determine the change in functional groups of the fibers before and after treatment
FT-IR spectral analysis was performed in the transmittance mode range of 4000 –400 cm− 1
The filtrate containing both beta- and gamma-cellulose was neutralized with acetic acid to precipitate beta-cellulose
was calculated to infer the hemicellulose content based on the combined beta- and gamma-cellulose fractions
The moisture content of the fibers was determined using a MX-50 moisture analyzer (A&D Weighing
Three specimens were analyzed for each test
and the reported results represent the average of these measurements
Commercial braided silk sutures in sizes 5 − 0 and single fibers from cylindrical snake grass were tested according to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 3822-07 using the M350-5AT Testometric universal testing machine (Testometric Company Ltd.

All data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6/group)
This study successfully extracted natural cellulose fibers from cylindrical snake grass for use in suturing applications
SEM images confirmed a significant improvement in the fibers’ surface characteristics after the pre-treatment process
The cellulose content of the fibers after treatment was measured to be 97.5%
the extracted cellulose fibers maintained their mechanical properties after sterilization
Although the mechanical properties and weight of the cylindrical snake grass fibers decreased significantly following immersion in PBS
their tensile strength surpassed the requisite strength for dependable primary closure
cylindrical snake grass fibers exhibited biocompatibility comparable to commercial silk sutures with minimal tissue reaction
These findings support the potential application of natural cellulose fibers derived from cylindrical snake grass as an alternative source of a non-absorbable surgical suture biomaterial
Further development of these cellulose fibers could involve braiding or twisting them together to create a larger suture
Coating them with bioactive substances might enhance their wound-healing properties
testing the fiber’s antibacterial properties and applying antibacterial treatments could improve the suture’s ability to reduce infections

As anyone who’s ever stepped into the role of caregiver knows
it can be one of the most rewarding and demanding roles a person can take on
Caregiving is an act of love and sacrifice
and it’s a job that too often comes with little recognition—or rest.
The Sunday Paper wants to shine a light on the unsung heroes who show up for the people they love in this crucial role of caregiver
That’s why we sat down with Lucille Carriere
the Behavioral Health Director and Angie Ruvo Endowed Caregiving Chair at The Cleveland Clinic
Whether it’s managing burnout and setting boundaries or finding ways to take a break and sneak in more joy
Carriere is on a mission to make sure caregivers know that their wellbeing matters
Can you speak to the health impacts of being a caregiver
and the importance of caregivers finding ways to take care of themselves?
We know that caregivers play such an instrumental role in helping loved ones who need assistance
It is family members who often step into this role
it’s well established that family caregivers are particularly vulnerable to negative health outcomes given the demands that are placed on family caregivers when they step into that role
What we know is that caregiving can increase vulnerability to negative health outcomes when it comes to both physical and emotional health
We see higher rates of chronic disease and inflammatory markers
For readers who are feeling the very real impacts of caregiving
I think a big part of it is putting words to what you’re feeling—even just recognizing the challenges you’re facing as a result of your job as a caregiver is important.
Caregivers are so involved and entrenched in their role
and their focus and attention is on the needs of their loved one
and when we look at this over the long term
that’s when we see the negative impacts on their health start to show
I’m really dealing with a lot more chronic pain,” or “My blood pressure is higher than ever.” It’s almost insidious the way caregiving can create an environment of chronic stress.
And we try to answer this question: What are the demands being placed on you that you feel as though you don’t have the resources to properly address
We start there so that we can develop an individualized plan.
A lot of caregivers experience intense emotions
Any advice for how to navigate those tricky feelings
These emotions have the potential to overwhelm us and can negatively affect you if you don’t develop a plan for how to manage them
Maybe that plan includes seeking informal support
such as building a community of other caregivers who can provide validation and even help you come up with solutions for some of the day-to-day challenges of caregiving
There may be other instances where it’s helpful to seek professional help
especially if those emotions are becoming so intense that they’re getting in the way of your everyday life or even affecting the care relationship
the job can feel unrelenting and all-consuming
What are some of the ways you’ve seen people successfully navigate this demanding job
I think one of the keys as you progress through the journey of being a caregiver is to build a tool kit that helps you navigate the day-to-day challenges and your own emotional journey
One thread I see amongst caregivers who navigate this role well is that they’re able to recognize their value as caregivers
They understand that being a caregiver is one part of their identity among many
caregivers can give themselves permission to step away from the caregiver role for brief periods of time
Taking a respite and focusing on self-care can be incredibly difficult for caregivers
Yet giving yourself permission to take time away—and to see that it’s not self-indulgent
but rather critical for your overall health and your ability to manage your caregiver role—is important
I also think caregivers who successfully navigate this role are comfortable being uncomfortable
caregivers will feel a little bit of angst or discomfort those first couple times that they’re away from their care recipient
And it’s important to learn to be okay with that discomfort
Those emotions and worries start to settle
We know that the majority of caregivers are women
Do you have any advice specific to women to help them navigate the work of caregiving
we’re subject to the influence of traditional gender roles and norms—and I think that helps us understand why the vast majority of family caregivers are women
There’s added responsibility and pressure to be in that nurturing role
which can lead us to form unrealistic expectations for ourselves as caregivers.
we may be particularly susceptible to feeling guilt—and that guilt can take over
adding all of this additional burden on us emotionally
This eats away at that confidence that we’re trying to build with skills and support to create an ideal caregiving situation
This is why it’s important to recognize if and where you are struggling as a caregiver
Do you find yourself struggling emotionally
Or is it more the practical day to day aspects of not having enough time and support
When you know where you need assistance and support
you’re in a better position to brainstorm solutions for your unique situation.
I think the other aspect of this—and I can’t underscore this enough—is finding a community to feel connection with other caregivers
Connecting with others who are on a similar path can go a long way toward helping you feel a sense of validation
For those who are reading this who aren’t caregivers but have someone in their life who is
what are some ways we can support the caregivers in our lives
I think it’s oftentimes so validating for caregivers to hear from others who say to them
It’s an acknowledgement that their role is incredible
and their strength and courage to persevere under challenging circumstances really does mean a lot.
When it comes to more practical means of outreach
try to recognize where you can use your strengths to help
“Let me prep a few meals for you.” Maybe you’re great at organization
“Can I make a few doctor’s appointments for you
or take your loved one to their appointment next week?” We can get into the trap of asking when or how we can help
but that can tricky for caregivers to answer.
If you have a caregiver in your life and could use some ideas on how to give them a much-needed break, WAM’s Caregiver Gift Guide is filled with practical tips and advice

“Awesome,” Cuda head coach John McCarthy said
This “Superman” save was one of 33 for Carriere
who has put the San Jose Sharks’ AHL affiliate on his back since mid-February
when star prospect Yaroslav Askarov went down with a lower-body injury
He’s started nine of the Cuda’s last 13 games
he’s helping to secure the Cuda’s first non-COVID trip to the playoffs since 2019
has put some space between themselves and eighth-place Bakersfield
The top-seven teams in the Pacific Division qualify for the post-season
has been a revelation since Askarov’s injury
earning himself a contract from the San Jose Sharks along the way
He was originally signed by the Barracuda out of the University of Vermont last year
McCarthy knew in training camp that he had a player in Carriere: “It’s his approach
which for a goalie is a pretty good attribute to have.”
who started the season with San Jose Sharks’ ECHL affiliate Wichita Thunder
the 6-foot-2 netminder has a 14-9-2 record and .922 Save % with Wichita
and an 8-5-2 record and .908 Save % with San Jose
Askarov has a day-to-day lower-body injury
but he hasn’t appeared in a game for over a month
There’s hope that he’ll be able to re-join Barracuda practice next week
But it might be a while yet before Askarov starts again
So Carriere might need to keep saving the day

The #SJSharks have signed goaltender Gabriel Carriere to a one-year
— San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) March 7, 2025
The 24-year-old Carriere spent most of the 2024-25 season with the ECHL’s Wichita Thunder
posting a 14-9-2 with a .922 save percentage (SV%) and 2.60 goals against average (GAA) in 25 games
He ranks third in the ECHL for shutouts with three
Carriere also played 10 games with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda
posting a 5-4-1 record with a .902 SV% and 2.85 GAA
Carriere spent four seasons at the University of Vermont
where he posted a 28-50-8 record with a .908 SV% and 2.75 GAA through those four years
he went 13-18-3 with a .906 SV% and 2.77 GAA
and was named a Hobey Baker Award nominee as the NCAA’s Top Collegiate Player
They have a league-worst minus-72 goal differential
William Eklund leads the team in points with 48 through 14 goals and 34 assists
while Macklin Celebrini has 20 goals and 26 assists for 46 points

Apr. 4th: Unfortunately, Carriere’s first recall will end without his NHL debut, as the Sharks have reassigned him back to AHL San Jose
Carriere’s first NHL recall comes weeks after his first NHL contract. The 24-year-old Ottawa native got a two-way deal from the Sharks on deadline day to make him recall-eligible for the remainder of 2024-25
He’s been in their system on an AHL contract since the end of last season
when he signed as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Vermont
That paves the way for Carriere to see his name on an NHL roster and earn a big-league paycheck for the day
although he’s unlikely to see game action
It’s still been a promising season for Carriere
who was quite good while on assignment to ECHL Wichita to begin the season until his services were needed in the AHL following Askarov’s injury
and a 14-9-2 record in 25 appearances for Wichita
Things haven’t gone as well in the AHL with the Barracuda
where Carriere has a .893 SV% and 3.13 GAA in 19 showings with an 8-8-3 record
Carriere will be a restricted free agent this summer with arbitration rights. He’s likely done well enough in the ECHL to earn a qualifying offer from San Jose, but that remains to be seen. Askarov, who signed a two-year, $4MM extension when the Sharks acquired him from the Predators last August
is the only goaltender under contract with San Jose for next season
He’s a virtual lock for their opening night roster after again excelling in the AHL and looking strong in his NHL viewings this year (.896 SV%

The San Jose Sharks have signed depth goaltender Gabriel Carriere to a one-year
Carriere was moved from the ECHL to the AHL in mid-February after splitting time between the rosters for much of the year
Carriere is playing through his first full professional season this year
after playing in his AHL debut at the end of last year
He was previously the starter at the University of Vermont for the last three seasons
where he combined for a commendable .908 save percentage and 28-50-8 record
The AHL’s San Jose Barracuda awarded the undrafted Carriere with his first professional contract at the end of Vermont’s 2023-24 campaign
and assigned him to the ECHL at the start of this season
Carriere has made good work of his first full pro season
posting a 14-9-2 record and .922 Sv% through 25 ECHL games
He ranks eighth in the league in save percentage

This is “The most elegant way to correct class II cases” and treat an impacted canine simultaneously
at their Barcelona’s Clinic in September of 2016 to learn more about his unique approach and thinking of implementing invisalign at the same time with the brand new Clear Carriere Motion II
since I have been using invisalign simultaneously with other orthopeadic appliances like Herbst
I started doing hybrid systems to be more efficient
but mainly to address the chief complaint of the patient
not the class II or the width of their maxilla in the back
We are trained to propose and treat the back of the mouth like class II
class III or transverse problems when the patient is coming for the front of the mouth and teeth that they see first
Because the techniques we used to propose were always like that
sagittal and then finally aligning teeth with braces
Now we have treatment options that are much more efficient and very aesthetic-driven like clear aligners
I have discovered that there are no longer 3 orders of movement like in fixed braces
uprighting and torquing teeth in a sequence with a specific evolution of wires at specific intervals
We can now program and design all orders of movement from day 1 with the software of aligner systems
can be addressed while we also treat alignment and
I also started making upper anterior attachments on the lingual side
This female teenager was 15.5 years old when she consulted me
She was referred firstly for a lower impacted canine
I started this case with Carriere Motion II on the right side to correct the asymmetry
I wanted to help her as well for the asymmetry of her bite (class II subdivision)
of the face and improve the buccal corridors
I have designed this approach that does everything in the beginning: aligning 6 front teeth on upper and treat all lower arch
creating space and eventually making dental expansion
We can focus on everything right from day one
Another huge plus using this combination or hybrid treatment is that the patient will never wear the enamel of the teeth during parafunction since the tooth integrity will be protected during the orthodontic correction
No other system can stop or protect this adverse effect of grinding at night and tooth wear
I will use Vivera retainers with bite ramps
so the patient will stop the inevitable wear that comes from parafunction at night
A worn dentition comes with age and this wear can now be stopped when using the aligner system and Vivera retainers
I want to create an environment of treatment with the best aesthetic approach
I have been using invisalign since 2005 and when the Clear Carriere Motion arrived in 2016
I decided to use that in combination for my class II or class III’s
Not only choosing the Clear Carriere Motion with clear aligners
but also TREAT and CONTROL right from beginning
we avoid the secondary effect of creating diastemas on the 6 upper anteriors when using the Carriere Motion on canines and let free the 4 incisors
I can also treat the lower arch from the beginning instead of holding the arch only with a retainer device (Essix)
I use the “short” Carriere and bond it on 1st upper pre-molar to the first molar instead of the canines
When we bond the Carriere Motion on the first premolar
the class II elastics are even less visible and so are the eventual spacings created distal of canines instead of between the 6 upper anteriors
All the mechanics are then being pushed one tooth more in the back
which is a major plus for all patients searching for an aesthetic approach
The treatment is highly efficient because we are doing everything from the beginning: tip-torque-align
Bonding the Motion on upper 1st premolars will open the bite in a much more efficient way comparing to bond it on the canines
Simply because the secondary effect of the extrusion that comes with the Cl II elastics will be profitable with a tooth that has an occlusal table which the canine doesn’t have
The bite opening is even more profitable when we place the class II elastics on the lower second molar
Extruding a canine just won’t open the bite
I will exceptionally choose to bond it on canines when the case is class II with an open bite tendency
treatment time plus number of appointments
almost no emergency appointment compared to conventional fixed systems
and the pride of offering the best aesthetic combination treatment amongst all the traditional systems
Patients are just amazed to see those fast results especially because we are treating their chief complaint from day one
They see their front teeth perfectly aligned in the first 6 months and the majority of them are finished within 12-16 months
Being able of treating everything first right from day one is a tremendous change in my practice and this nice momentum will occur because motivation is at its peak
We simply get the best patient collaboration in the beginning of treatment because they are simply highly motivated
I will ask to virtually remove upper 4-5-6-7 and treat only upper 3 to 3 for bilateral class II since the Clear Carriere Motion will be placed on upper 4’s
I usually treat the patient with this first phase over 6-8 months of aligners on adults and 4-6 months for teenagers
I will also design the attachments of upper six anteriors on the lingual side to elevate the elegancy of this approach
I treat upper 3 to 3 and the complete lower arch
level Curve of Spee and place button cutouts on lower 7’s
I will design class II elastics of Force 1 for the first 4 weeks and then Force 2 elastics for the rest
For my second round of aligners (refinement)
I will ask Align to virtually remove the clear portion of the Carriere Motion that we will clinically remove at insertion of the refinement
The metal piece on the upper first molars will remain and act as an exceptional attachment for 3D control and will never wear out until the end of treatment
and still have the option of using some other inter arch mechanics with class II or even in class III elastics
Then in this clinical case of unilateral Carriere Motion
I also wanted to design the force system to simultaneously treat the impacted lower right canine
I will design my refinement ClinCheck with different possibilities of pulling with an elastic
I will request a double twisted 0,010 SS ligature connected on a bonded mushroom button to the impacted canine
A mushroom button will provide less side effects because the steel ligature can freely rotate around the neck of the button while we pull with the elastic
I requested a closed surgical approach and have the surgeon/periodontist make sure that the tooth will show of +1 mobility and
This approach is much better than with a gold chain
which is too flexible and impossible to hook and change the elastic by the patient
Depending on where this ligature will come out on the alveolar crest either buccal or lingual
I will design a canine pontic with a gingival convexity of at least 2mm
This geometry will create all of the aligners with the best anatomy to hook the elastic easily
The elastic can then be hooked at the gingival of this pontic
running at the incisal of the aligner and then reaching the steel ligature
I will cut and adjust the steel ligature like a ‘’J” hook and I will cover with composite at its end for more patient comfort
This design will be when the canine is positioned at lingual
If the canine and ligature are clearly buccal
I will the make 2 slits on the lingual of the pontic or on some occasions
on the lingual of the first premolar if there is a need to create not only an extrusive force but also a distalizing one at the same time
The patient will hook the elastic on the aligner first
then engage the aligner to eventually stretch the elastic on top of the aligner
This will automatically create the pull force we need to extrude and guide the impacted tooth
of treating impactions with the boot strap technique from the approach for an upper lateral not tracking well with an aligner
We all know that aligner therapy can only push
If we can force the extrusion of a non-tracking lateral for 1mm
we could surely force the extrusion of an impacted tooth the same way for many millimeters
Depending on the total distance to stretch the elastic
I will use a 3/16’’ with 3.5 ounces of force for majority of cases
We also can use a vector more horizontal to better move mesio-distally or rotate the impacted tooth when we eventually see it clinically
The elastic can also be placed directly on the button when it is clinically possible
but some clinicians describe this as 12 months of treatment only
since we used to need 4-5 weeks of passive aligners in between the intervals of receiving the next series of aligners
The final scan will be for my final records and printing Vivera retainers from Align
this case demonstrates the opportunity of designing multiple mechanics at the same time and applying them from the first day of treatment
This makes a win-win combination for the patient and for the treating doctor
the patient was making bi-weekly change of her trays.
