Speed braces

A brand of fixed, self-ligating braces is Speed Braces. Speed Braces, like traditional braces, are made of metal. According to the Speed Braces website, these braces are about 30% smaller than traditional braces, but unlike Invisalign, they are not designed to be invisible.

At home, speed braces are not removed. The orthodontist will fit the braces to your teeth and make any necessary adjustments.

How do Braces work?

There are three components that work together to address and adjust teeth in conventional supports. These are:

supports that are attached to each tooth the wire that runs through each section ligatures that hold the archwire in place (metal ties or flexible groups). Speed Supports, like all self-ligating supports, do not use ligatures to secure the wire to the supports.

If everything is equal, there is a spring-cut instrument in each section. In the long run, the spring cut moves the teeth into the ideal position by consistently putting tension on the archwire.

What are self-ligating braces?

Devices called orthodontic supports are used to fix a lot of problems with the alignment of teeth and jaws. Metal strips cover each tooth in traditional supports, and supports that are stuck to the front of the teeth are then connected to a wire that is attached to each tooth. The wires are typically held in place by a combination of rigid-flexible groups and wires. Similar to conventional supports, self-ligating ones have a small hook that acts as a portal to hold the archwire in place, rather than each tooth being individually attached to an archwire. In this instance, the term “self-ligating” refers to these sections tying themselves to the primary wire.

Because they can be set up and taken down so quickly, this kind of support is sometimes referred to as speed support.

Because the curved wire can move slightly along the front of the teeth, many people find that self-ligating supports are more comfortable to wear than other types of supports. This frequently results in less strain on the teeth, which means less pain for the patient; However, the orthodontist has less control over each tooth individually. Because none of them are securely fastened to the archwire, controlling specific settings is difficult.

Self-ligating supports also have the advantage of being easier to clean, making it less likely that food particles will get into the supports and cause tooth rot. These supports typically have metal foundations, but they can also be made a little bit clear-fired, making them much less obvious than any metal fitting or group. When compared to other orthodontic frameworks, these supports generally require fewer office visits and can have treatment times as short as a half year.
