About This Product:

An Orthodontic Bracket. The bracket, that is on the tooth, has a slot and wings. The wire goes through the slot. Then the elastic tie goes over the wire and is secured by the wings of the bracket. The elastic tie holds the wire in place. Therefore, when a patient comes in for treatment, all of the elastic ties are removed and replaced. That means you can have different colors on your brackets every month. Patients are very creative in how the colors are used. The majority will have two colors that alternate from one tooth to the next. Some will just have one color and then some patients will have a rainbow of colors. Each tooth will have a different color. How are the Elastic Ties Removed and Placed? When you come in for your visit, an assistant will seat you and then use a scaler to remove all your elastic ties. Then the orthodontist will decide if bends need to be placed in your existing wire or if the wire needs to be changed. Once all the changes are made, the elastic ties are placed back with a hemostat. It's just that simple.
