Sonic Dental Supply NEW IMPROVED - - Clear Latex Free 1/4" Heavy 4.5 oz - Orthodontic Elastic - Braces - Small Rubber Bands - Made in the USA

I was given the Eagle brand of rubber bands by my orthodontist. As my bite has changed, I’ve been going through 3 rubber bands an hour. These are much more durable, but what most surprised me was how much more comfortable they are compared to the Eagle brand. They’re much softer on my tongue and I hardly notice it. Will be buying these for the duration of my orthodontic journey.

Buying anything online makes you skeptical I only had orthodontic gap bands once in a yellowish tent. They where great but eventually ran out and used small clear hair bands. Weren’t the same comfort and support. I preferred clear so I found these some comments would leave you a little worried. I got 1/4 size I was confused on what size I’d need. They are fine my gap is mid size I never had one b4 I had braces. So it kinda grows larger over time a tad larger could’ve been comfortable as well. I’d say the sizes help as your gap closes size down a bit. Very strong does slide up a little do to moisture but not bad at all or hard to adjust

It’s as if these rubber bands have been sitting on the shelf for so long, that the elasticity has worn down. As soon my daughter stretches them, they break.

Ordered these because they could be delivered same day, but these break pretty easily. Work in a pinch I suppose just keep them handy

I got 4.5 OZ 1/4" latex bands (photo left) from my orthodontics and just bught this clear one (photo right) as I'm running out. However, with exactly the same numbers, the clear one not only streches much less but also gives much more pressure. I'm going to buy the 3.5 OZ 5/16" clear ones as I'm writing this review now.
