The Morelli Long Hook for Self-Ligating Canine Brackets is a stainless steel auxiliary hook that attaches directly to metal self-ligating canine brackets of the Roth SLI, SLP, and SLH lines, creating a defined anchorage point for elastic traction of the canine. The hook is machined for the self-ligating bracket body, so it is not interchangeable with the Max line hook — a Max stainless steel canine bracket will not accept this hook.
Key Features
Self-ligating fit — Dimensioned for Morelli Roth SLI, SLP, and SLH metal canine brackets; it does not seat on Max line 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.

Mechanics control: Adjusts the point of force application for more predictable canine control.
Running self-ligating mechanics and need a canine traction point that seats on the bracket?
This is the hook made for SLI, SLP, and SLH canine brackets — confirm your bracket line before ordering, because the Max line version is a separate product and the two do not substitute for each other.
