The Morelli Amber Latex Intraoral Elastics ā 3/16ā³ (Bulk) are natural latex orthodontic elastics with a 3/16ā³ (4,80 mm) nominal diameter, one step up from the smallest size in the Morelli intraoral line. The extra diameter widens the span the elastic can bridge while keeping the extension short, covering mechanics that sit between strictly localized traction and longer inter-arch runs.
Key Features
3/16ā³ (4,80 mm) nominal diameter ā every unit in this pack is supplied in this single diameter
Short-to-intermediate span ā bridges slightly wider distances than the 1/8ā³ size without a long extension
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
Traction between attachments separated by a short-to-intermediate distance, where 1/8ā³ would sit at excessive extension
Space closure and dental traction within the same arch
Adjustment of intercuspation at the levels described for natural latex intraoral elastics
Need slightly more reach than 1/8ā³?
The 3/16ā³ (4,80 mm) diameter bridges a wider gap than the smallest size while keeping the extension short ā the choice when the span is longer than localized but still within one arch.
