Hilo elástico y tubos

Orthodontic elastic thread and tubing for traction, rotation correction and bringing impacted teeth into the arch. Cut to length at the chair and tie to a bonded button, bracket or hook.

Elastic thread gives a light, adjustable pull where a power chain would not fit, such as ligating an exposed canine to the archwire. Tubing slides over the wire to cushion it or to protect soft tissue.

Like all elastomerics, thread loses force over time, so replace it at each adjustment visit.
