SPEED Rhomboid
• Narrow SE Spring clip
• Horizontal Positioning
✦ Mesial and distal edges of the SPEED bonding
base / spring clip / bracket body.
• Vertical Positioning
✦ Archwire slot / occlusal edge of the bonding
pad and the bracket body

Bracket Placement Key Points
• Not necessary to angulate bracket
slots into extraction sites or to
use special extraction brackets.
• Spring clip on the arch wire
continuously maintains excellent
root parallelism as spaces are
closed.
• Rounded portion of the spring clip faces occlusally
©Dr Sylvain Chamberland
Bonding SPEED Attachments
• Incisor brackets
✦ Forcing excess adhesive to exude
toward the gingival reduces the risk of
clogging the spring clips on these
brackets with miniaturized pads.
• Posterior brackets
✦ Larger bonding pads = not a problem
✦ Excess adhesive may be forced toward
the occlusal.
✦ Less residual flash removal at the
gingival.
©Dr Sylvain Chamberland
Bonding SPEED Attachments
• Care must be taken during bonding
to avoid clogging the gingival end of
the bracket / spring slot.
• If some composite is inadvertently
squeezed over the gingival edge of a
bonding base and into a spring slot,
immediately wipe it out with the tip
of a sharp explorer.

Precise Bracket Position
• Carefull and precise bracket positioning is essential to achieve
perfect alignment in the 3 planes of space
• A misplaced bracket can never help achieve perfect alignment
