Description:

3M Victory Series Buccal Tube, 3067-8791, is an orthodontic buccal tube designed for use in fixed orthodontic treatment. This configuration features APC II adhesive coating, an .018-inch slot, UL6 positioning, a non-convertible single-tube design, and a -14T/10Off prescription. The product is supplied as one tube per unit, with ordering available in increments of five. The Victory Series Buccal Tube provides a dedicated posterior orthodontic attachment for treatment involving the upper left first molar. The UL6 designation identifies the intended tooth position, helping orthodontic professionals select the appropriate component according to the patient's treatment plan. Buccal tubes provide an attachment point for compatible archwires and can support the application of planned orthodontic mechanics throughout treatment. The .018-inch slot is designed for use with compatible .018-inch orthodontic archwires and related orthodontic components. The -14T/10Off prescription identifies the specified torque and offset characteristics associated with this tube configuration. These prescription values are part of the appliance design and should be considered when selecting components to match the clinician's intended treatment mechanics. The non-convertible single configuration provides a dedicated buccal tube without a convertible feature. This straightforward design may be suitable for treatment approaches in which a fixed, non-convertible posterior tube is preferred. Before placement, clinicians should confirm the tooth position, slot dimension, prescription, and tube configuration to ensure compatibility with the planned orthodontic treatment. APC II adhesive coating provides pre-coated orthodontic adhesive on the bonding base of the tube. This can simplify chairside bonding by reducing the need to manually dispense and apply a separate adhesive. The pre-coated format may help streamline preparation and provide convenient handling during placement. Dental professionals should follow the manufacturer's instructions for tooth preparation, moisture control, adhesive activation, tube positioning, excess adhesive removal, and curing. Accurate positioning of the buccal tube is important for establishing the intended relationship between the molar and archwire. Clinicians should use appropriate bonding techniques and maintain effective moisture control during placement. The tube should be positioned according to the patient's treatment plan and applicable manufacturer recommendations. The individual-unit format allows orthodontic practices to obtain specific buccal tubes for individual patient cases, replacement needs, or routine inventory management. Ordering in increments of five provides a practical stocking quantity and can help maintain an organized supply of frequently used orthodontic components. Overall, the 3M Victory Series Buccal Tube, 3067-8791, provides a dedicated UL6 posterior orthodontic component with APC II adhesive coating, an .018-inch slot, non-convertible single-tube configuration, and -14T/10Off prescription. It is designed to support organized molar tube placement and fixed orthodontic treatment when used with compatible components and according to manufacturer instructions and established clinical procedures.
