WARNING: Patients with an identified latex

allergy should not use latex elastics. In
undiagnosed patients, if irritation occurs,
discontinue use immediately and
consult a physician.

American Orthodontics takes great pride in

manufacturing our Wildlife SeriesTM elastics using
top quality latex tubing with exacting dimensions.
Our proprietary technique results in precision
cutting and assures consistent pulling forces.

Latex Elastics
10,000 Total Elastics - 100 patient packs per box (100 elastics per pack)

X2 Exception: Due to their larger size Tiger, Manatee,

Rhinocerous, Cheetah, Jaguar, Leopard, and Puma are
packaged in 2 boxes

Extra Heavy and Maximum Sizes

2500 Total Elastics - 50 patient packs per box (50 elastics per pack)

Neon Latex Elastics

C 7500 Total Elastics - 75 patient packs per box (100 elastics per pack)
Assorted neon green, orange,
purple, and pink per patient pack

American Orthodontics offers our most widely used

sizes of prepackaged elastics in Wildlife SeriesTM patient packs which feature endangered and threatened
animals from all over the world. By faithfully wearing
their elastics, patients can feel they are doing their
part in preserving and protecting these animals. This
additional incentive may be just the motivator to get
patients to wear their rubber bands.

Smaller Package Option

S 5000 Total Elastics - 50 patient packs per box (100 elastics per pack)

Choosing the right elastic

The force of elastics is determined 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".
