Ligature Tie Used In Orthodontics To Secure Archwires
Ligature ties are small elastic rings used in orthodontics to secure archwires. Used in conjunction with brackets, they serve as a convenient alternative to metal ligature wires for binding and fixing archwires.Supplied in either boxes or bags. Each bag contains 40 strands, with 26 small rings per strand, totaling 1,040 rings per bag.
Product Description
Elastics are typically made from medical-grade polymeric elastomers, such as rubber or polyurethane. Common types include ligature ties, separators, elastic chains, and O-rings. They can be presented in chain, thread, tube, or ring forms. Used in orthodontic treatments, they serve various purposes like ligation, tooth separation, traction, and torque application.

Clinical Functions
Securing Archwires: Acting as small elastic bands, they are
wrapped around the bracket wings to firmly bind the archwire into the bracket
slot. This prevents the archwire from slipping or displacing, ensuring
continuous orthodontic force is applied to the teeth.
Even Force Transmission: By encircling both wings of the bracket,
the pressure is distributed evenly, allowing for smoother and more controlled
tooth movement.
Assisting in Minor Alignment: Their inherent elasticity can apply a mild
corrective force to help with the alignment of slightly rotated teeth.
Zone Identification: Available in multiple colors, ligature ties
allow orthodontists to easily distinguish between the upper and lower arches,
left and right sides, as well as anterior and posterior teeth, facilitating
convenient adjustments during follow-up visits.
