OP System

Where orthodontics meets functional therapy

Nuvola® OP System is an innovative orthodontic protocol that combines the classic orthodontic biomechanic principles of aligner therapies with those of functional orthodontic therapy.

To simplify the approach, two new instruments are used within the protocol: the Nuvola Pro™ aligners and the Freedom™ myofunctional device.

The special design of the Nuvola Pro™ Aligners makes it possible to control and exploit the centrifugal forces of the tongue, making upper arch expansions easier also thanks to the sectorial expansion zones.

The presence of proprioceptive stimuli for the tongue makes it possible to reprogram its position within the oral cavity on the one hand by exploiting its intrinsic strength and on the other hand, in case of dysfunction, by cancelling its highly dislocating action.

Lingual Pins

Lingual Pins

The lingual pins on the Nuvola® Pro® aligners serve to direct the tongue towards the physiological area of the retroincisive papilla and act as an important “pull” for improved lingual perception and dynamics.

For the first time, lingual function is the focus of aligner therapy.

Push Areas

Push Areas

Nuvola® Pro® aligners feature force lines built into their design, specifically conceived for group movements.

Freedom™

The Freedom™ myofunctional device, when used with its appropriate protocols, makes it possible to reprogram muscle memory, finalise cases with decreased use of classic aids, enhance muscular performance in hypotonic subjects by assisting intrusive movements, and to oppose the muscular slingshot of the labial muscles.

Freedom™ is a device that leads to the balanced contraction (not conditioned by malocclusion) of the pterygoid muscles, along with other muscles of mastication. The synergistically developed force will lead to a centrifugal tensive effect, directed posteriorly and externally.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Real stories from patients who discovered how life-changing Health Connections Dentistry holistic dentistry can be.

Nerissa Johnson

Dr. Stagg and her fantastic staff have been wonderfully instrumental in the success of our daughter's airway and orthodontic correction. We would highly recommend her to everyone!

Tami Smith

Dr Stagg and her team are amazing. Always happy and kind... always pay attention to detail and go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Stagg's knowledge is very impressive and you know you are in good hands.

Laura Aho Parsons

I came to get help from Dr. Stagg as an emergency case, referred by my Dentist. Dr. Stagg and her team did extensive testing to get to the cause of my pains, which turned out to be TMJ Disorder. But she also discovered I had Sinus issues and referred me to an ENT specialist, for an emergency appointment. She and Dr. Malis were able to discuss my case prior to my appointment so we were primed for what needed to happen first and soon--sinus surgery! Later she referred me to a Cranio-Sacral specialist to help with musculature and skeletal issues. Dr Stagg has amazing intuition, is an artist sculpting each apparatus, a natural healer, uses all the latest technologies and has a staff as professional, yet compassionate, as she is to handle every step of the individualized protocols needed for each unique patient. She is a rare Find indeed.

Cecile Blunt

Who knew that my jaw and sleeping problems could be addressed by the expansion of this 83 year old mouth? Well, Dr Stagg knew!! The ALF and lower orthotic are improving my situation almost daily for 7 months now. She and her staff are wonderful!!!

Alexandra Poolt

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Stagg and her excellent team all the way through the assessment process and into the treatment. I finally have a better understanding of my teeth, the mouth & the tongue and how all interconnects to show a picture of my overall health. If you have been searching for answers beyond standard dental care, give her a try!!!

Lisa B

Before my treatment I found myself to have severe fatigue, no motivation to do anything, and procrastination on the smallest things. The first day I wore my orthotic, my pain in my neck and upper back diminished. I find myself awakening in the morning feeling like I got a good night sleep and I am able to fall asleep with no problem. My fatigue has lessened tremendously. I have and would recommend this treatment to friends. My life has become more enjoyable being pain free.

Cristiano V

Before seeing Dr. Stagg, I struggled for years with constant fatigue, poor sleep, and jaw tension I didn’t understand. She discovered that my airway issues, sleep apnea, and TMJ were all connected — and that the root cause was in my mouth. Through her precise, gentle treatment, my breathing improved, my sleep became deep and restorative, and the daily pain I lived with disappeared. It completely changed my health, energy, and focus. I can’t thank you enough!.

Dr. Charles D. Dusch, Jr.
