3M AlastiK K Modules for Class II and III Elastics
Elastomeric chain modules used to manage intermaxillary Class II and intramaxillary Class III relationships during orthodontic treatment.
3M AlastiK K Modules are elastomeric chain configured for use in intermaxillary Class II and intramaxillary Class III applications, helping orthodontists manage the relationship between the upper and lower arches or correct within arch discrepancies as part of a broader treatment plan. Chain used in this way typically runs from an anchor point, such as a molar hook, forward to another attachment on the arch, applying a light continuous force that works alongside the patient's regular archwire mechanics.
Because Class II and Class III corrections often need sustained, predictable force over weeks between adjustments, elastomeric chain is a common choice compared with heavier elastics that a patient must change themselves. This listing is supplied under six catalog numbers, most likely reflecting different link spacings or force levels within the K Module range.
As a single-use consumable, it is replaced at each adjustment appointment as part of ongoing case management.
