AZDENT Orthodontic Elastics Zoo Pack – 5000 Latex Rubber Bands for Braces

AZDENT Orthodontic Elastics Zoo Pack is a bulk box of 5000 natural rubber latex intraoral elastics used with fixed braces to apply controlled traction between upper and lower arches. Each box holds one force level (3.5 oz light, 5.0 oz medium or 6.5 oz heavy) and one animal-coded size from Chipmunk (1/8″) to Monkey (3/8″), so orthodontists can stock exactly the elastics their treatment plans call for.

Key Benefits of These Orthodontic Rubber Bands

• Predictable traction force – rated at 3.5 oz (100 g), 5.0 oz (140 g) or 6.5 oz (185 g) for consistent tooth and jaw movement.
• Animal-coded sizing – Chipmunk, Rabbit, Fox, Penguin and Monkey labels make it easy for clinicians and patients to identify the prescribed elastic.
• High-volume value – 5000 pieces per box lowers the per-elastic cost for busy orthodontic practices.
• Hygienic dispensing – elastics come in small sealed bags inside a tear-open dispenser box, ready to hand out to patients.
• Bonus elastic placer – each box ships with a plastic elastic placement tool (colour may vary).

Clinical Uses for Braces Elastics

• Closing spaces and gaps between teeth
• Class II and Class III bite correction (overbite and underbite)
• Midline correction
• Open bite and crossbite management
• Final settling to tighten the bite at the end of treatment

How to Use Orthodontic Elastics

• Wear exactly as positioned by the orthodontist – hook and direction matter.
• Wear about 24 hours a day and change the elastics at least once daily, as elastic force drops over time.
• Remove only to eat and brush; put fresh elastics back in straight after.
• If an elastic breaks, change it immediately; if one is forgotten, do not double up the next day.
• Contact the clinic if a bracket or hook comes loose.

Latex notice: this product contains natural rubber latex. Do not use for patients with a known latex allergy.

Orthodontic Elastics Zoo Pack FAQs

What do 3.5 oz, 5.0 oz and 6.5 oz mean on orthodontic elastics?

They are the traction force each elastic delivers when stretched to about three times its inner diameter: 3.5 oz (≈100 g) is light, 5.0 oz (≈140 g) is medium and 6.5 oz (≈185 g) is heavy.

What sizes are the Zoo Pack animals?

Chipmunk is 1/8″ (3.18 mm), Rabbit 3/16″ (4.76 mm), Fox 1/4″ (6.35 mm), Penguin 5/16″ (7.94 mm) and Monkey 3/8″ (9.5 mm).

Does one box contain mixed sizes?

No. Each 5000-piece box contains a single force and a single animal size, chosen from the options above.

How often should braces elastics be changed?

Most orthodontists advise changing them at least once a day, or more often if they lose tension or break, so the force stays consistent.

Are these elastics latex-free?

No. They are made from natural rubber latex and are not suitable for patients with latex allergy.

Who should buy this zoo pack?

It is designed for orthodontic and dental clinics that hand out elastics to patients in high volume.
