3M AlastiK Easy-To-Tie Orthodontic Ligatures
Elastic orthodontic ligatures that secure the archwire to brackets, available in multiple colours to let patients personalise their fixed appliance treatment.
3M AlastiK Easy-To-Tie Ligatures are elastic ties used to hold the archwire in place against orthodontic brackets throughout the course of fixed appliance treatment. Designed for efficient chairside placement, they help orthodontists and orthodontic assistants work through ligature changes quickly during routine adjustment appointments, which matters in busy practices seeing a high volume of orthodontic patients each day.
Beyond their functional role in securing the wire, these ligatures are supplied in a wide variety of colours, giving patients, particularly younger patients, the option to choose colours that suit their preference or a particular occasion, which can make ongoing treatment feel more engaging. Comfort and ease of placement are also design considerations, since ligatures are changed at nearly every adjustment visit over the course of months or years of treatment.
This product is used daily in orthodontic practices and general dental clinics offering fixed brace treatment, forming a routine, high turnover consumable in the orthodontic supply cabinet.
