Medical - Medical: Dentistry / ortodoncja | | English term or phrase: horizontal elastic | Prior to this visit an upper intercanine horizontal elastic was placed in order to close the spaces between the upper anterior teeth.
The spaces between the lower anterior teeth were closed by wires extending from behind the lower canine brackets to the intermaxillary hooks, which were tightened at each visit until the lower interproximal spaces were closed. |
| | | pozioma ligatura elastyczna | Explanation:
As explained below, self-ligating braces do not need ligature elastics.
(...)
The clear or white ligatures (little elastics that hold the arch wire to the brackets) can stain, which defeats esthetics of the ceramic braces. But those are changed at your monthly adjustment.

Finishing Elastics: elastics that run between the upper and lower teeth in various patterns that are designed to perfect the occlusion (the bite) toward the end of orthodontic treatment.
(...)
Elastics are made in different sizes and strengths. The size and the strength are printed on the elastic package. Elastic packages have pictures of animals, colors, counties or other objects printed on them. This picture helps the patient remember what size to wear.

Ligatury to malutkie gumki, które podtrzymują łuk w ortodontycznych aparatach ceramicznych. Ligatury wymieniane są przy każdej wizycie, czyli co około miesiąc. Pacjenci mają do wyboru różnorodne kolory ligatur, ale niezależnie od koloru gumki łatwo ulegają odbarwieniu.
