Orthodontic O- Rings Adjusting Maxillomandibular Occlusion
Product Introduction
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. Orthodontic elastics are core elastic
consumables in orthodontics. Unlike elastic chains, they feature an individual,
single-loop structure. Relying on continuous traction, they are used to align
upper and lower teeth, retract anterior teeth, and adjust occlusion. They are
frequently used in conjunction with brackets, buccal tubes, and orthodontic
mini-screws .
Classes: Available in three classes, distinguished by color: Black, Blue, and
Red.
Forces: Offered in 5 different force levels, each represented by an animal icon: Squirrel, Rabbit, Fox, Penguin,
and Monkey.
Appearance: Transparent.
Packaging: 100
pieces per bag, 50 bags per box.
Specifications & Models
Classified into various standard models based on force
levels and stretched distances:
1.
1/8",
3/16" (Small Size): Designed for short-distance traction. Used for fine
adjustments of anterior teeth and light Class II / Class III traction.
2.
1/4"
(Universal): The most widely used model in clinical practice. Ideal for routine
occlusal adjustments and moderate retraction.
3.
5/16"
(Medium-Large Size): Suitable for medium-distance traction. Used for improving
deep overbites and massive retraction of anterior teeth.
4.
3/8"
(Large Size): Designed for long-distance traction. Applied in the traction of
low-impacted teeth and the distalization of molars using mini-screws.
Core Clinical Functions
Adjusting Maxillomandibular Occlusion (Primary Application)
Class II Traction: Corrects buck teeth and protruding
upper teeth by pulling the upper posterior teeth and lower anterior teeth
backward.
Class III Traction: Corrects underbites by pulling the
lower posterior teeth backward and the upper anterior teeth forward.
Vertical Traction (Box Traction): Improves deep
overbites and open bites, adjusting the vertical occlusal relationship.
Retracting Anterior Teeth to
Improve Bimaxillary Protrusion
Used in conjunction with mini-screws (TADs) to retract
the entire anterior segment backward, thereby reducing facial profile
protrusion.
Correcting Midline
Discrepancies
Applied unilaterally to align the midlines of the
upper and lower central incisors.
Erupting Impacted or
Low-Positioned Teeth
Assists in the gradual eruption and proper positioning
of impacted canines and wisdom teeth.
Closing Minor Residual Spaces
Used in the late stages of orthodontic treatment for
minor space closure and fine-tuning of scattered gaps.
Advantages
Comprehensive Force Options: Available in light, medium, and heavy
forces with multiple sizes to cover all types of occlusal correction cases.
Highly Flexible Application: Easily adaptable to various traction
protocols, effectively resolving the vast majority of occlusal issues such as
overbites, underbites, and open bites.
Compact and Soft: Small in size and soft in texture, ensuring they do
not cause oral irritation during normal wear.
Portable Packaging: Conveniently packaged for patients to easily carry
and replace on a daily basis.
Cost-Effective and Hygienic: Low-cost and designed for single-use with
sterile packaging, completely eliminating the risk of cross-infection.
