Our solitaires are made with ‘low friction technology’ specifically targeted towards the reduction of frictional binding forces in orthodontic auxiliaries i.e., ligatures, separators, etc. The super-tough FDA approved medical grade polyurethane is latex free, odorless, tasteless, highly stain resistant and designed to deliver a uniform continuous force over a long period of time. They are injection molded in the conventional manner and then subjected to a hydro thermal process that modifies the surface texture, creating a high degree of slipperiness. This effect is permanent and significantly reduces treatment times. Solitaires are available in packs of 42 sticks, 22 solitaires per stick.
