The Morelli Amber Latex Intraoral Elastics ā 3/4ā³ (Bulk) are natural latex orthodontic elastics with a 3/4ā³ (19,05 mm) nominal diameter, the largest intraoral size Morelli catalogues and roughly twice the diameter of the next size down. Because of that reach it is listed separately from the rest of the line: it is offered in Light and Medium force only and supplied in packs of 100 units instead of 1,000.
Key Features
3/4ā³ (19,05 mm) nominal diameter ā every unit in this pack is supplied in this single diameter
Longest working span in the line ā 3/4ā³ (19,05 mm) reaches distances no other intraoral diameter covers
100% natural latex rubber ā elastic memory and controlled force delivery for orthodontic traction
Two force levels ā Light and Medium, selectable per order, with no Heavy version catalogued in this diameter
ā„80% residual force at 24 hours ā force decay stays within a predictable range over a full wear cycle
Light mint essence ā minimal scent and taste, which supports patient acceptance during wear

Clinical Applications
Traction over the longest intraoral spans, beyond the reach of the 3/8ā³ and smaller diameters
Wide intermaxillary traction requiring a large working circumference at moderate extension
Adjustment of intercuspation at the levels described for natural latex intraoral elastics
Is the span beyond what 3/8ā³ can reach?
The 3/4ā³ (19,05 mm) diameter is the widest intraoral elastic Morelli makes ā specify it only when the distance to be bridged exceeds every other size, and note that it ships in packs of 100 in Light or Medium force.
