3M Unitek Elastics, 404-526, Medium 4 oz, 3/16 in, Green (Bill), are orthodontic elastics designed for use in professionally managed orthodontic treatment. This product features a 3/16-inch size and a Medium 4 oz force classification, providing a defined elastic configuration for orthodontic treatment protocols that require the corresponding dimensions and force level. The elastics are supplied in packs of 100, with 30 packs per box, providing a convenient quantity for orthodontic practices and regular clinical use. Orthodontic elastics are commonly used to create forces between selected teeth, brackets, hooks, or other compatible orthodontic attachments. Depending on the prescribed treatment plan, elastics may be used for inter-arch or intra-arch applications to assist with bite correction, tooth positioning, space management, or other orthodontic mechanics. The precise placement, wear schedule, and duration of use should be determined by the treating orthodontist based on the patient's individual needs. The 3/16-inch size provides a specific elastic dimension, while the Medium 4 oz designation identifies the intended force category. Orthodontic elastics are available in different sizes and force levels to accommodate various treatment requirements. Selecting the correct combination is important for supporting the clinician's prescribed mechanics and avoiding the use of an inappropriate elastic configuration. The Green color, identified as �Bill,� provides a distinctive option within the 3M Unitek range of colored orthodontic elastics. Colored elastics can offer patients a way to personalize the appearance of their orthodontic appliances while also helping clinicians and staff distinguish products during treatment preparation. Color identification can be particularly useful in practices that maintain multiple elastic sizes, force levels, and color choices. The packaging includes 100 elastics per pack and 30 packs per box. This quantity provides a practical supply for orthodontic practices with regular elastic requirements and can simplify inventory organization. Storing elastics according to catalog number, size, force category, and color can help dental staff quickly identify and prepare the appropriate material for each patient appointment. These elastics should be used according to the orthodontist's instructions. Patients should be instructed on proper placement, wear duration, replacement frequency, and handling. Elastics should be replaced as directed because their force may change with stretching and use. The selected elastic should also be compatible with the patient's orthodontic appliance and treatment plan. Overall, 3M Unitek Elastics, 404-526, Medium 4 oz, 3/16 in, Green (Bill), provide a clearly identified orthodontic elastic option for professional treatment.
