I have speed system braces for about two months and i havent had any pain at all.Im not complaining but thought I should of felt something by now.Anyone else have this type of braces?
yes i understand that it is the archwire that does the work.Withhte speed system ones, there is like a spring action that allows the archwire to constantly move.
I'm in the speed system too Braves. It does differ slightly from Damons as it does have a spring behind the locking clip (just for informative purposes). I've been in them now for close to a year, and the first two months of those were virtually pain free. That was because I was in a braided (?) light wire that was meant to slowly begin my teeth on the moving process. After getting into regular round wires my teeth were definitely more sore.
