Button Chain is a specialized orthodontic tool used to apply controlled tension in braces systems, enabling precise tooth movement and gap closure during treatments. Made from medical-grade 316L stainless steel, these chains consist of interconnected "buttons" (small metal loops) that securely attach to brackets and archwires. Available in silver and golden finishes, they balance clinical functionality with aesthetic versatility – silver blends discreetly with traditional braces, while golden offers a personalized touch for patients.
Each pre-cut 30cm chain eliminates manual sizing, saving 15-20 minutes per patient during installation. The corrosion-resistant material withstands repeated sterilization (autoclavable up to 135°C) and maintains elasticity through 18-24 month treatment cycles. Compatible with self-ligating brackets, lingual braces, and ortho kits, Button Chains are essential for:
Tooth Alignment: Apply directional force to correct rotations or spacing
Molar Anchorage: Stabilize posterior teeth during extraction site closure
Midline Correction: Adjust dental symmetry in comprehensive cases
Dual-Color Flexibility
Match silver chains to metal brackets for low visibility, or use golden chains for teen/esthetic-focused cases.
Pre-Cut Efficiency
Ready-to-use lengths reduce clinical errors and chair time.
