SPEED Q&A

SELF LIGATION www.speedsystem.com What wires have been specially designed for use with SPEED? Aligning and Leveling – SPEED Supercable™ Sliding Mechanics – Hills Dual-Geometry™ Wire The proper selection and progression of archwires is most important in ensuring excellence in treatment efficiency and results. SPEED Appliance design greatly simplifies and enhances archwire selection and effectiveness. SPEED's wide interbracket span, predictably light frictional drag and full control with even the most undersized archwires maximizes efficiencies of tooth movement while ensuring excellence in finishing. While SPEED's edgewise slot will accommodate virtually any size or configuration of archwire, experienced SPEED users have found that the selected archwires outlined below most fully exploit SPEED's unique benefits. These are recommended for best results. SPEED Supercable™ contains multiple strands of superelastic nickel titanium wire. SPEED Supercable’s™ incredible super-elastic range combines with the energy storing SPEED Spring Clip to create a near optimal force system. Supercable’s™ extremely low unloading force plateau assures that appliance-induced stresses within the periodontium will remain at near optimal levels throughout. The Hills Dual-Geometry™ archwire is the optimal wire for “sliding mechanics” and “anterior retraction” while maintaining nearly perfect torque control. The square anterior portion ensures full torque control by filling the slot occluso-gingivally. The round and polished posterior section minimizes friction and cooperates with the Spring Clip for optimal rotation and tip control during tooth translation. Made of an ultra-high tensile strength stainless steel, the Hills Dual-Geometry™ Wire provides optimum stiffness for predictable and precise tooth translation. SPEED Supercable™ Finishing – SPEED Wire™ The unique shape of Preformed SPEED Wires™ enhances cooperation between the SPEED Spring Clip and archwire. Any movement of the bracket relative to the wire, away from its “home” position, results in labial deflection of the Spring Clip and thereby storage of appropriate energy for recovery. This relentless homing action is ideal for finishing as it enables precise tooth positioning in all three planes of space.
