Description
Milky Way Latex Ortho Elastics in Tooth Color, with a 3.1mm (1/8 inch) diameter, provide a gentle light force of 99.2gms (3.5 oz), ideal for achieving minor tooth movements and adjustments during orthodontic treatment. Their tooth-colored design blends seamlessly with the natural look of the teeth, offering a subtle solution with minimal visibility.
These elastics are crafted from top-quality, double-purified surgical-grade latex, making them hypoallergenic and safe for oral use. They are a reliable choice for patients with sensitive gums or latex allergies. With minimal force decay, they ensure consistent and effective force throughout the treatment period.
The manufacturing process uses vulcanization, ensuring even curing, which prevents issues like latex swelling caused by saliva absorption—an important factor that could otherwise impact force delivery and cause odor. This process helps maintain the elastics’ performance and cleanliness. Orthodontists have precise control over the force applied to the teeth, as the elastic force is calibrated and measured at three times the slack diameter, ensuring optimal performance and consistency.
