Hanson, SPEED Buccal Tubes™ offer the lowest profile in the industry, virtually eliminating bond failures. Available as single or double tubes, their anatomy ensures ideal seating on the curved buccal surface of the molars. SPEED Buccal Tubes reduce the danger of occlusal interference while offering the following benefits: • Eliminates painful seating and separation • Easy to put on - Easy to remove • Improves hygiene and tissue health • Eliminates “band seating” appointment • Caries risk under loose bands is eliminated • No band spaces at the end of treatment • Large band inventory is eliminated • Half the cost of most banded attachments • Miniaturized Pad mirrors buccal tooth surface • Micro-Retentive Mesh™ maximizes bond strength • Permits bonding even with deep cusp overhang • Eliminates the need for banding Lower Second Molars SPEED’s second molar tube bases feature a low profile and a unique curvature which permit correct tube orientation. The unique SPEED molar tube design permits archwires to rest very close to the tooth surface. This virtually eliminates occlusal interference and bond failures! SPEED Mini-tubes For Partially Erupted Molars Designed by SPEED Inventor Dr. G. H. Hanson, the SPEED Mini-Tube™ is the smallest, lowest profile bondable buccal tube available today. The Mini-Tube fits neatly onto the mesial-buccal cusp of lower second molars. The result is a tube that is setting the new standard for bonded molar attachments. Failure rates of less than 3% have been recorded in large scale clinical studies. Bond failure data for SPEED Lower First Molar tubes collected over 9 years, and published, reveals a remarkably low overall failure rate of less than 2%. Highlights of this study are outlined below... The Published Evidence* • Retrospective Practice-based study • Single Practitioner office • Bond failures and “re-failures” recorded for every patient bonded • 1187 patients bonded (1998-2007) Results Tubes Bonded 2421 Bond Failures 47 Failure Rate 1.94% * Bond Failure in Clinical Practice, Ewing, M., - Australian Orthodontic Journal Volume 25 No. 2 November 2009 *Less than 3% failure rates in large scale clinical studies.
