3M Unitek Adjustable Sliding Yoke for Archwires
An orthodontic yoke that clips onto the archwire and can be slid and repositioned along it as treatment progresses.
The 3M Unitek Adjustable Sliding Yoke is a small orthodontic auxiliary that clips onto the archwire, giving the clinician a moveable attachment point that can be repositioned along the wire as treatment progresses rather than being fixed permanently in one place. This flexibility is useful when a treatment plan needs an anchorage or attachment point to shift gradually, for example as spaces close or teeth move into new positions over the course of active orthodontic treatment.
Because it clips onto the wire rather than requiring soldering or crimping, an orthodontist can adjust its position chairside during a routine visit without needing to replace the whole archwire. It belongs to the Gurin family of orthodontic hooks and stops, designed to work as part of a coordinated system of small adjustable auxiliaries.
