2010年3月2日 · Elastic ligatures are the rubber bands on orthodontic braces. Their main purpose is to keep the archwire (the wire between each tooth) firmly slotted in position on the bracket of each individual tooth.

2019年11月1日 · Elastic Ligatures (often simply called Ligatures) are small o-shaped elasticized rings which fit around the braces brackets to hold the arch wires in place. Some Ligatures are made with latex, but if you have a latex allergy your Orthodontist can …

2021年5月10日 · Read on to discover the purpose of elastic ligatures on braces. What Elastic Ligatures Are And What They Do. Rubber bands or elastic ligatures surround individual brackets in orthodontic braces.

2024年11月21日 · There are two main different types of orthodontic elastic bands, ligatures and rubber bands. Ligatures are small bands that go around your braces brackets to keep your archwires securely attached. Some types of braces, such as self-ligating braces don’t need these ‘o’ ties to stay in place.

2015年1月1日 · Elastomeric products are used in orthodontics as ligatures and as continuous modules (chains) for the engagement and retraction of teeth. (The use of the popular elastomeric alginate impression materials in orthodontics will be discussed in Chapter 12.)

Orthodontic rubber bands, often called elastic ligatures, connect the brackets to the archwire. With this connection, the braces can apply the needed force to move the teeth. Elastic ligatures pull or push the teeth in the appropriate direction.
