About the SPEED System
SPEED braces have revolutionized orthodontics by eliminating the need for the elastics that traditional braces require to straighten teeth. Instead, SPEED braces use an energy-storing component called a ‘spring clip’ to straighten teeth.
The SPEED spring clip works like a computer chip inside your braces. The spring clip is ‘programmed’ by your orthodontist when SPEED braces are placed on your teeth. The spring clip, made of a Super-Elastic space-age material, then follows the programmed instructions by applying a light continuous force to gently move teeth to their correct position. Only SPEED braces contain a Super-Elastic spring clip.
What that means for you
- Greater comfort throughout treatment.
- Potentially fewer appointments and more ‘SPEEDy’ treatment.
- Small brackets — typically a third smaller than traditional braces — that look great.
- Less food trapping, so good oral hygiene is easier to maintain throughout your treatment.
