How SPEED Controls Rotations

This isometric view illustrates how SPEED's Nickel Titanium Spring Clip provides rotational correction. Notice how the Spring Clip maintains constant contact with the arch wire.

When rotational correction is required, SPEED's Spring Clip is activated upon arch wire engagement. Once deflected elastically by the arch wire, the SPEED Spring Clip provides corrective forces, which ensure "full" rotational correction. Any subsequent deviation from this ideal is corrected through the reactivation of SPEED's unique homing action.
