Intra Oral Elastics are rubber bands frequently used in the field of orthodontics to correct different types of malocclusions. The longevity of the elastic wear may vary from two weeks to several months. The elastic wear can be worn from 12 to 23 hours a day, either during the night or throughout the day depending on the requirements for each malocclusion. 

Elastic wear is recommend to be used in a rectangular wire to minimize side effects. Elastic wear depends on the compliance of the patient.

Penta Ortho Intra Oral Elastics are manufactured from the finest surgical grade natural latex rubber to ensure reliable force delivery.Intraoral elastics are used to produce forces for correcting different type of malocclusion.
