American OrthodonticsElastics Non-Latex Sea Life Butterfly Fish | Medium, 4.5 Oz, 1/8" Size, 30 Packs Per Box, 3,000 Elastics | Made in The USA | Consistent Force, Hypo-allergenic Non-Latex Material

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.
