“This is the only style I buy. I like the size and shape of the pad. We are very happy with the quality of Ortho Traction Pads.”
John Wesley Emison, MD DDS, San Jose, CA; customer since 2001
This is a very popular style because of its small size and gentle curve. The chain is attached to the pad with an eyelet ring, making it easy to hold and place on the tooth. The Small Pad is rectangular, and lightly curved for surfaces other than cuspids, or for a lingual side.
- Compare to the LPEP (Large Pad Eyelet Profile), which is larger and curvier.
- The Small Pad is 3.5mm x 3mm surgical quality stainless steel with a screen on the bottom to grab your adhesive.
- The 1" chain is gold, attached to the pad with a small gold eyelet loop on the top middle of the pad.
The eyelet styles are all very easy to pick up, but if you need a new placement instrument we recommend the Hu-Friedy Bracket Holder.
