The aim of this presentation is to acquaint the reader with the design characteristics of the primary components of the SPEED appliance and to provide an explanation of the manner in which it functions. The bracket body, mounted spring clip, and bonding pad assemblies permit the application of corrective forces to teeth and their supporting structures without the need for arch-wire-ligating materials. The spring and arch slot geometry has been designed to reduce sliding friction and to enhance the three-dimensional control of tooth movement. Despite their small size, SPEED brackets have provision for a wide variety of auxiliaries. It is possible to secure uprighting springs and several types of elastic hooks to individual brackets. As of Jan. 1, 1980, more than 600 patients had undergone treatment with the SPEED appliance. Many of these cases are extensively documented with serial photographs.
本报告的目的是让读者了解SPEED矫治器主要部件的设计特点，并解释其工作方式。托槽主体、安装的弹簧夹和粘结垫组件允许在无需弓丝结扎材料的情况下对牙齿及其支持结构施加矫治力。弹簧和弓槽的几何形状经过设计，以减少滑动摩擦并增强对牙齿移动的三维控制。尽管SPEED托槽尺寸小，但可为多种辅助装置提供空间。可以将直立弹簧和几种类型的弹性钩固定到单个托槽上。截至1980年1月1日，已有600多名患者接受了SPEED矫治器治疗。其中许多病例都有系列照片的详细记录。
