Descrizione
In orthodontics the archwire does the travelling, but the tube decides whether the journey runs straight. A poorly machined buccal tube drags, binds, and costs a clinician chair time that no schedule has spare.
This kit supplies 80 first molar buccal tubes across 20 sets, MBT prescription, 0.022 slot, non-convertible, in a medical-grade stainless body with a laser-welded hook. The bondable base carries a fine mesh pattern that gives composite a mechanical grip instead of a hopeful one, which is the difference between a tube that stays where it was placed and a tube that comes back to the chair.
Each set is individually packed and batch inspected before it leaves the workshop, so a full case can be loaded without sorting through mixed prescriptions. For the practice that runs volume, the arithmetic is simple: predictable seating, friction the wire can live with, and inventory that arrives counted.
Precision is not a marketing word in orthodontics. It is a millimetre count.

Where It Fits In Practice
Designed for the general dentist expanding into fixed appliance work, the orthodontic resident building a first kit, and the established clinic restocking a high-turnover size. The 0.022 slot matches the most widely stocked archwire inventory, so tubes and wires arrive compatible instead of nearly compatible. Individually sealed sets mean a kit can be opened shelf by shelf, keeping the remainder sterile and counted for the next case day.
Clinical FAQ
Q: Which archwire sizes does this slot accept?
The 0.022 inch slot is engineered for the standard sequence of nickel titanium and stainless archwires supplied for 0.022 systems, working up through the finishing gauges.
Q: Is the base bondable or weldable?
This is the bondable mesh-base version, intended for direct composite bonding to the first molar.
Q: Can the hook be removed?
The hook is laser welded to the body for structural integrity and is not intended to be cut away.
Q: How are the pieces supplied?
Eighty pieces arrive as twenty individually sealed sets, which keeps the unused stock clean and easy to count.
Q: Is the prescription marked on the packaging?
Yes. Each set is labelled with its prescription and slot so a tray can be assembled without guessing.
Q: Is this suitable for first molar anchorage in a full fixed case?
It is designed for that role within MBT mechanics; confirm archwire sequence against your own treatment protocol.
Supply Notes
Packed in sealed clinical sets and dispatched from our own warehouse with tracked delivery. 30-day returns on unopened stock. Practices ordering in recurring quantities are routed to a bulk desk, because a consumable should be reorderable without a conversation.
Manufacturing And Supply Standards
Tubes are produced on Swiss-type sliding head machines that hold tolerances tight enough for the 0.022 slot to accept a wire without perceptible play, then deburred in an electropolishing bath that rounds microscopic edges inside the slot. That finishing step is the difference between a tube that delivers archwire smoothly and one that quietly adds friction to every activation. The mesh base is sintered rather than glued, and each batch is sampled for base shear strength before packing.
Clinical Handling Notes
- ✦ Store sealed sets in a dry drawer away from direct sunlight
- ✦ Confirm slot size against the archwire sequence on the case card
- ✦ Etch, rinse and dry the molar surface before bonding the mesh base
- ✦ Light-cure according to your composite manufacturer instructions
- ✦ Keep the kit closed between patients to protect unused sets
Q: Is this kit suitable for a mixed dentition case?
It is designed for permanent first molar anchorage within MBT mechanics. Confirm suitability against your own treatment plan before committing a case.
Q: How is the hook finished?
The hook is laser welded and the tip radius is smoothed so it does not catch soft tissue during ligation or debond.
Q: Can these be reused after removal?
No. Bonded orthodontic attachments are single use. Discard the tube after debond to protect the next patient.
