Elastic chains play a crucial role in complementary aligners therapy by helping to achieve precise tooth movement that aligners alone may not fully accomplish. Aligners offer superior comfort and aesthetics for incremental tooth movement, there are instances where additional force is needed to close gaps, correct rotations, or improve bite relationships. These are linked elastic modules composed of tiny rubber rings provide continuous light force that can be strategically applied to specific teeth. Dentists frequently pair them with composite attachments or metal buttons to enhance control over movement. For example, when closing spaces between teeth after extractions or natural gaps, elastic chains help maintain consistent pressure over time, reducing the likelihood of relapse. They assist in reorienting leaning or tipped teeth or pulling teeth into better alignment when the aligner material alone lacks sufficient grip. Clinicians tailor chain positioning and force levels based on individual treatment plans, making them a versatile and cost effective tool in modern orthodontics. Success depends on consistent patient adherence as consistent wear is necessary for optimal results. When used correctly, elastic chains significantly improve the efficiency and outcomes of aligner therapy, bridging the gap between what aligners can do on their own and the precision needed for a perfect smile.
