Description:

3M Victory Series Buccal Tube, 3067-9764, is an orthodontic buccal tube designed for use in fixed orthodontic treatment. This configuration features APC II adhesive coating, a .022-inch slot, LR6 positioning, a non-convertible single-tube design, and a -20T/0Off 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 lower right first molar. The LR6 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 orthodontic archwires and can support the application of planned orthodontic mechanics during fixed appliance treatment. The .022-inch slot is designed for use with compatible .022-inch orthodontic archwires and related components. The -20T/0Off prescription identifies the specified torque and offset characteristics associated with this tube configuration. These prescription values are an integral part of the appliance design and should be considered when selecting orthodontic components that correspond with the clinician's treatment objectives. The non-convertible single configuration provides a dedicated buccal tube without a convertible feature. This straightforward design may be suitable for treatment protocols in which a fixed, non-convertible posterior tube is preferred. Before bonding, clinicians should verify the tooth position, slot dimension, prescription, and tube configuration to ensure compatibility with the planned orthodontic mechanics. APC II adhesive coating provides pre-coated orthodontic adhesive on the tube's bonding base. This feature 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 support convenient handling during tube placement. Dental professionals should follow the manufacturer's instructions for tooth preparation, moisture control, adhesive activation, tube positioning, excess adhesive removal, and curing. Accurate placement 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 throughout the procedure. The tube should be positioned according to the patient's treatment plan and the manufacturer's recommendations. The individual-unit packaging provides flexibility for orthodontic practices that require specific buccal tubes for individual cases, replacement needs, or inventory management. Ordering in increments of five provides a practical stocking quantity and can help maintain an organized supply of commonly used orthodontic components. Overall, the 3M Victory Series Buccal Tube, 3067-9764, provides a dedicated LR6 posterior orthodontic component with APC II adhesive coating, a .022-inch slot, non-convertible single-tube configuration, and -20T/0Off 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.
