RANA, e-chain, elasticity, tensile strengthAbstract
Elastomeric chains were introduced to the orthodontic profession in the 1960s, and are now an integral part of many practices. They are used for correcting rotations, consolidating spaces, and retracting canines. Force decay in these materials is significant and has been a clinical problem.
