Orthodontic Elastics

DESCRIPTION

Features / Characteristics:

• Single ligature ties come in a variety of colors, from white to assorted shades. They have a certain elasticity, so users should replace them approximately every 2 weeks.

• During orthodontic treatment, brackets and archwires create force on the teeth. Ligature ties are used in conjunction with these appliances to provide additional force, helping teeth move into the desired position and aligning the upper and lower jaws for proper occlusion.

• Ligature ties are not mandatory for all orthodontic cases; their use depends on the patient’s dental condition and the orthodontist’s treatment plan.

• Made from high-quality medical-grade rubber, these ties are highly elastic, safe, and non-irritating in the oral environment.

Usage Instructions / Recommendations:

• Remove ligature ties when eating or cleaning teeth.

• Replace ligature ties daily to avoid excessive wear and loss of elasticity.

• Keep extra ligature ties on hand for timely replacement, which can help shorten overall treatment time.

• Wash hands thoroughly before handling or replacing ligature ties.

• Contact your orthodontist if a ligature tie is lost or causes discomfort.
