Description
Milky Way Latex Ortho Elastics in a natural tooth color provide a consistent medium-force tension of 127g (4.5 oz) with a 4.7mm (3/16 inch) diameter, making them ideal for orthodontic applications such as bite correction and alignment adjustments. These elastics offer a reliable force to support controlled, gradual tooth movement essential for effective orthodontic treatment.
Crafted from high-quality, double-purified surgical grade latex, these elastics undergo a special vulcanization process that strengthens their structure, increases elasticity, resistance to breakage and prevents saliva absorption, which can weaken other elastics over time. This ensures long-lasting durability, maintains freshness, and reduces odor.
Engineered to minimize force decay, these elastics retain their initial tension longer, which helps maintain consistent force for tooth movement and reduces the need for frequent replacements. Their tooth-colored appearance allows for discreet wear, blending naturally with teeth to provide a more subtle look, which patients appreciate during daily use. Additionally, their smooth finish ensures comfort against the gums and cheeks, minimizing irritation and promoting compliance throughout the treatment process.
These elastics offer orthodontists precise control over the force applied to the teeth, as the elastic force is measured at three times the slack diameter, providing consistent and reliable force for significant tooth movement.
