American Orthodontics Sand Dollar Elastics, 1/4 in, 4.5 oz, Non Latex | Rubber Bands | 30 Per Box, 3,000 Count Total | USA Made | Hypo-Allergenic | Latex-Free | For Brace and Dental Work | Elastic

Still have them to this day, I got my braces off 3 years ago. They last.

My dentist gave me a few bags when I started wearing rubber bands, however my toddler dumped them on the floor and I needed to replace them. I wanted to find the exact ones that my dentist had given me so that I didn't use a wrong one. This was SO convenient to have it shipped to my home and they were exactly what I was looking for.

So far these elastics haven’t been cut through by my, rather sharp, Invisalign aligners as was the situation with other non-latex band brands. Nicely done.

For some reason I did not expect an entire tower of these, I have to say amazing value for the money. Love the thickness, no allergic reaction

I'm not allergic to latex but I prefer the appearance of the latex-free elastics because they are clear! They are also more comfortable in my mouth. AO says that the latex-free version applies comparable force to the teeth, but to me they don't feel as tight as the latex version. I don't want to slow my progress. Some studies have shown that generally, non-latex elastics suffer from force degradation more rapidly than latex elastics. So it might be especially important to change the non-latex elastics at least three times per day. Please talk to your orthodontist for specific instructions. I will be asking mine about the differences between the two. But be assured that these are the real thing, I contacted AO and they confirmed that they are now selling their products on Amazon.

Works great!

Well worth the money.

These rubber bands are good since their non latex and for somebody like me who is severely allergic to latex these are a good option. The only thing is you have to change then every 24 hours since they don’t go back to the same size after you take them off. I guess the 30 bags make up for it lol
