Description:

3M Unitek Elastics, 404-626, Heavy 6 oz, 3/16 in, Green (Bummer), are orthodontic inter-arch elastics designed for use as part of fixed orthodontic treatment.

The elastics are classified as Heavy and provide a 6 oz force specification at the stated configuration. Inter-arch elastics are commonly used in orthodontic treatment to provide elastic force between selected points of the upper and lower arches. Depending on the individual treatment plan, orthodontists may prescribe elastics to assist with correction of specific bite relationships and to support desired tooth and jaw positioning. The exact placement, duration of wear, and force requirements should always be determined by the treating orthodontic professional. The 3/16-inch size identifies the diameter or configuration of the elastic and provides clinicians with a defined option within the Unitek elastics range. The Heavy 6 oz designation identifies the force category associated with this product. Selecting the appropriate elastic size and force is important because orthodontic elastics are available in different configurations intended for different treatment requirements. The Green color, identified as �Bummer,� provides a distinctive option within the range of colored orthodontic elastics. Color selection can allow patients to personalize the appearance of their orthodontic appliances and can also help distinguish different elastic products within a practice. Clearly identified colors may be useful when multiple sizes, force levels, and configurations are maintained in orthodontic inventory. The 100-per-pack format provides a convenient clinical supply for routine orthodontic treatment. With 30 individual packs per box, the product can also support practices with higher-volume orthodontic requirements and simplify inventory planning. Keeping elastics organized by size, force, and color can help clinicians and staff quickly select the appropriate product during patient appointments. These elastics are intended for single use and are labeled as prescription devices. Dental professionals should provide patients with appropriate instructions regarding elastic placement, wear schedule, replacement, and handling. Patients should use the elastics only as directed by their orthodontist and replace them as recommended. Overall, 3M Unitek Elastics, 404-626, Heavy 6 oz, 3/16 in, Green (Bummer), provide a clearly specified inter-arch elastic option for professional orthodontic treatment. Their defined force category, 3/16-inch configuration, distinctive green color, and convenient 100-piece packaging make them suitable for organized clinical use when prescribed and managed by an orthodontic professional.
