Orthodontists who use the SPEED-bracket for treating children and adolescents always get to the stage where they can use a 019&times;25 steel arch after just 10-12 weeks which is impossible to achieve using passive ligating brackets. This is not only based on self-ligation but is also connected with the fact that the SPEED-bracket is one of the smallest on the market: this means that the free spaces between the brackets are bigger making the whole system more flexible.
