The SPEED Appliance is a miniaturized self-ligating appliance which offers overlapping benefits to both patients and clinicians. Patients enjoy the benefits of improved hygiene, aesthetics and comfort; while clinicians benefit from time savings in self-ligation and precision in tooth movement due to the action of SPEED's Super Elastic Spring Clip.
The SPEED Appliance employs a Super-Elastic Nickel Titanium spring clip to entrap the archwire. This eliminates the need for ligature ties. The spring clip snaps open to allow for archwire insertion and snaps closed to entrap the archwire. By eliminating ligature ties, the appliance reduces chairtime thus maximizing clinical efficiency.
