3M Unitek Orthodontic Elastics, Patient Pack
Orthodontic elastics supplied in an interlocking zip seal patient pack that stays fresh longer, with illustrated directions printed on the packet surface.
3M Unitek Elastics are orthodontic elastic bands used by patients at home, or applied chairside, to provide the interarch or intraarch forces needed to correct bite relationships during fixed appliance treatment. The elastics are supplied in a patient pack with an interlocking zip seal, a packaging feature designed to keep the elastics fresh for longer by protecting them from air exposure, which can otherwise cause elastics to lose their elasticity over time and become less effective.
Each pack also carries an illustration printed directly on the packet surface, giving the patient a clear visual reference alongside any written directions the orthodontic team provides, which helps improve compliance with the correct wearing pattern between appointments. This product is available across a very wide range of catalogue numbers, reflecting the different sizes and force levels needed for different bite correction requirements.
It is a routine consumable in orthodontic practices supplying elastics to patients undergoing fixed appliance treatment.
