Our office uses SPEED Braces; SPEED Braces have revolutionized orthodontics by eliminating the need for the elastics that traditional braces require to straighten teeth. SPEED Braces are small, typically 1/3rd smaller than traditional braces, making them easier to clean and less noticeable and they look great!
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. Only SPEED Braces contain a 'Super-Elastic' Spring Clip.
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.
The result is greater comfort, and potentially both fewer appointments and faster more 'SPEEDy' treatment.
How do SPEED braces work?
 |
The wire slides through the brackets as the teeth move, applying a gentle, continuous force which allows your teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably. This slide technology also helps reduce the friction between the brackets and wire, which means that you'll need fewer adjustments. |
 |
Since the SPEED Braces don't require any elastic ties or bands. They are more comfortable and require fewer appointments. |
 |
SPEED's small footprint results in less food trapping, so good oral hygiene is easier to maintain throughout your treatment. The miniaturized and rounded surfaces of SPEED Braces are easy to brush and clean, making it simple to maintain good oral hygiene. |
