SPEED® System Orthodontics
At Rosedale Orthodontics, we utilize a very unique type of self-ligating bracket or brace to move teeth. It is one of the smallest, most advanced orthodontic brackets available, from SPEED® System Orthodontics. This allows for a number of significant advantages:
- The unique self-ligating design permits significant appliance miniaturization. This allows the brackets to be up to 50% smaller than traditional metal brackets. SPEED® patients appreciate the superior aesthetics and jewel-like appearance of the SPEED appliance.
- SPEED® permits the use of extremely light forces by eliminating the high frictional resistance of traditionally-designed braces. In addition, the smooth rounded design minimizes soft tissue irritation.
- Shorter treatment times can often be obtained via the use of self-ligating brackets versus conventional appliances due to their greater efficiency
- Fewer office visits are one other reason why our patients prefer self-ligating appliances, as they can often require fewer adjustment visits.
- All of the above translate into greater comfort and convenience for our patients
