SPEED Q&A

SELF LIGATION www.speedsystem.com Will I experience more bond failures with SPEED’s mini-bases? Will the Hygiene of my patients improve with SPEED? No! SPEED’s miniaturization actually enhances base fit. Every SPEED bracket base is carefully contoured to precisely mirror the anatomy of its corresponding tooth. The result is a “bracket to tooth” fit that is unparalleled. SPEED’s bond strength is further enhanced through the use of Micro-Retentive Mesh™. SPEED's unique Micro-Retentive Mesh was tested in large scale clinical studies. The results were a reduction in bond failures of 50%, and a 200% increase in bond strength in laboratory tests. SPEED Micro-Retentive Mesh bonding bases are dull in appearance but require no special bonding technique or adhesives. Yes! The Self-Ligating SPEED Appliance eliminates the two most common food traps; tie wings and elastomeric or steel ligatures. The clean lines of the SPEED Appliance have resulted in a smooth rounded silhouette that is easy for all patients to clean. Patients, parents and referring dentists appreciate the hygienic ease of SPEED’s miniature wingless attachments. Whether brushing or flossing, patients find the mini-wingless SPEED attachments easy to keep clean. 16
