SPEED BRACES THE NEW WAY TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR SMILE

Do you want a straighter smile in less time than traditional braces? Yes, please!

Right now, Speed Braces are all the rage. They are more comfortable to wear than traditional braces, and they've caught the eye of many people who are searching for a simple yet effective solution. Speed Braces are fresh on the market and haven’t made their way into every dental or orthodontic office, but they are certainly worth the mention. They are fixed metal and self- ligating braces that are about 30% smaller than traditional braces, allowing them to be much less obtrusive in the mouth. While they aren’t designed for invisibility like Invisalign, the size difference makes an impact! Traditional braces use brackets that fasten to each tooth, an archwire that runs through each of the brackets, and ligatures that hold the brackets in place. These ligatures can be elastic bands or metal ties. The great thing about Speed Braces is that instead of using ligatures, they use a spring clip mechanism. The spring clip puts continuous pressure on the archwire to move the teeth into the target position. This allows for more comfort than standard braces.

In comparison to traditional braces, Speed Braces take much less time to get the job done — users usually have them removed after 18–24 months, revealing a beautiful, straight smile. While Speed Braces are more expensive than regular braces, the smaller size, faster results, and higher comfort level certainly seem worth the investment. They are more aesthetically pleasing and can make your experience with braces much less of a hassle. If you’re considering using braces to straighten your smile, be sure to talk with your orthodontist or dentist about what option is best for you!
