The Morelli Amber Latex Intraoral Elastics ā 1/8ā³ (Bulk) are natural latex orthodontic elastics with a 1/8ā³ (3,20 mm) nominal diameter, the smallest span in the Morelli intraoral line. The small diameter means the elastic reaches full working extension over a very short distance, which makes it the reference size for localized traction between attachments that sit close to one another.
Key Features
1/8ā³ (3,20 mm) nominal diameter ā every unit in this pack is supplied in this single diameter
Shortest working span ā reaches working extension over a minimal distance between attachment points
100% natural latex rubber ā elastic memory and controlled force delivery for orthodontic traction
Three force levels ā Light, Medium and Heavy, selectable per order, to match the mechanics
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
Localized traction between closely spaced attachments, where the elastic only has to bridge a short distance
Closure of short residual spaces between neighbouring dental elements
Fine adjustment of intercuspation at the levels described for natural latex intraoral elastics
Working over a short span between attachments?
The 1/8ā³ (3,20 mm) diameter is the smallest in the line: choose it when the two attachment points are close together and the mechanics call for short-range, localized traction.
