Orthodontic inter-bracket elastic chains are lightweight, flexible loops made of elastomeric material that connect adjacent brackets during braces treatment. Clinically, they apply gentle, continuous pressure to close small gaps between teeth or secure an archwire in place, aiding alignment without the need for additional wires or ligatures.
These devices are single-use, non-sterile, and designed for repeated replacement throughout treatment. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re typically classified as low-risk and supplied directly to orthodontic practices or patients for in-office or at-home use during active orthodontic care.
