The Morelli Long Hook for Max Stainless Steel Canine Brackets is a stainless steel auxiliary hook developed for Roth Max metal canine brackets, where it forms a fixed anchorage point for elastic traction of the canine. Because the fit depends on the Max bracket geometry, this hook is not interchangeable with the self-ligating hook — an SLI, SLP, or SLH bracket requires the self-ligating version instead.
Key Features
Max line fit — Dimensioned for Morelli Roth Max stainless steel canine brackets; it does not seat on SLI, SLP, or SLH self-ligating brackets.
Direct bracket attachment — Couples to the bracket itself, adding an anchorage point with no soldering or additional bonding step.
Elastic traction point — Gives elastics and elastic chain a dedicated hook for distal canine traction.
Force closer to the center of resistance — Repositions the point of force application to help optimize canine movement.
Stainless steel construction — Durability and mechanical resistance in the oral environment.
Four hooks per package — Covers canine positions 13, 23, 33, and 43.

Working with Max stainless steel canine brackets?
This is the hook dimensioned for that bracket body, and the self-ligating version will not fit a Max bracket — check the bracket line on the chart before you order.
