Speed
Do you get the speed you want to achieve for your new smile?
If you want to straighten your teeth but don't want to wear braces for the typical up to three years, short-term orthodontics can give you the smile you wish to achieve, quicker – if it's compatible with your need. One option of "short-term" braces are Speed Braces®.
.
Self-Ligating Braces
.
The "Speed" approach is a trademarked term. It uses self-ligating braces, which are different from traditional braces. Usually, Orthodontist uses three main components to move your teeth into their ideal position: The bracket, which is placed on each tooth; the archwire, which runs through each bracket and places pressure on the teeth; and a tie, usually made from elastic that connects the archwire to the bracket.
.
Self-ligating braces don't use ties. Instead, a permanently installed, the clip holds the archwire in place. Not using ties reduces the resistance of friction between the bracket and the wire, letting your teeth move more freely and using less applied force.
Speed Braces are available in metal (stainless steel), other clip brackets in cosmetic porcelain.
But to be honest, it always depends on the individual case and treatment how fast you get your perfect Bachmannsmile©.
