SPEED hooks are stronger and more secure than conventional Kobayashi hooks and, due to their reduced tendency to wobble or distort, enable clinicians to more efficiently deliver required forces to the teeth.
Each hook is rounded at both ends for patient comfort, miniaturized and removable so as to enhance both hygiene and aesthetics of the appliance.
