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.

Hopefully you stay pain free for much longer!!
