Certified Non-Latex to protect even the most sensitive patients.

American Orthodontics’ non-latex elastics are manufactured in a completely separate facility operated by certified personnel. AO’s latex-clean facility also has its own air and ventilation system to prevent cross-contamination.

• Hypo-allergenic non-latex material eliminates allergic reactions to latex
• Provides consistent force equivalent to standard elastic of the same ounce pull
• Manufactured in American Orthodontics’ “latex clean” facility to eliminate cross contamination
• 100 elastics per pack, 30 packs per box – 3000 elastics total

Choosing the right elastic.

We determine the force of elastics at three times the starting diameter. The activation level should be three times the starting diameter. For example, if the activation level is 9/16″ measured, the correct elastic would be 3/16″.
