3M Unitek Gurin Nuts for Auxiliary Replacement
Replacement nuts for the Gurin orthodontic auxiliary system, used to secure locks and other Gurin components onto the fixed appliance.
3M Unitek Gurin Nuts are small replacement fasteners used within the Gurin orthodontic auxiliary system. They secure Gurin locks and related hardware onto the archwire assembly, and orthodontic practices order them separately so that a nut lost or damaged during adjustment can be replaced without needing a whole new lock or hook.
The nuts are tightened with the matching Gurin wrench, which is designed specifically to grip the hexagon head used across this auxiliary range. Because they are a purely mechanical fastening component rather than a patient facing appliance part, they carry no stated material or sizing information in this listing beyond their role as a replacement item.
Practices that already use Gurin hooks, locks and extraoral traction hardware typically keep a stock of these nuts on hand as a low-cost, frequently needed spare part.
