The Morelli Amber Latex Intraoral Elastics ā 3/8ā³ (Bulk) are natural latex orthodontic elastics with a 3/8ā³ (9,53 mm) nominal diameter, the largest diameter offered in the 1,000-unit bulk range of the Morelli intraoral line. It is sized for the widest inter-arch vectors, where a smaller elastic would have to be stretched far beyond a comfortable working extension.
Key Features
3/8ā³ (9,53 mm) nominal diameter ā every unit in this pack is supplied in this single diameter
Widest span in the 1,000-unit range ā covers broad intermaxillary vectors without extreme 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
Broad intermaxillary traction, spanning wide distances between the upper and lower arches
Traction across long vectors where the smaller diameters would work at excessive extension
Adjustment of intercuspation at the levels described for natural latex intraoral elastics
Spanning the widest inter-arch distance?
The 3/8ā³ (9,53 mm) diameter is the largest bulk size in the 1,000-unit range ā the choice when the vector is wide enough to over-stretch every smaller diameter.
