Outperforms all other elastic chains
ENERGY CHAIN™
Move teeth rapidly and efficiently with RMO®’s Energy Chain™
RMO®’s Energy Chain™ is the proven leader among all brands of elastic chain. Numerous universities and clinical researchers have shown that RMO®’s Energy Chain™ outperforms virtually all other elastic chains available.
BENEFITS:n Patented formula provides light continuous force for weeksn Independently tested and clinically proven performance can
reduce appointment intervals and save valuable chair timen Less stress decay and less elongation over time compared
to other elastic chains availablen Stain resistant and latex-freen All Energy Chain™ colors perform similarly to Gray and Clear
TOUGH-O Energy LigaturesBENEFITS:n Same great material as Energy Chain™
n Decreased elasticity deformationn High force retentionn Tough-O keeps its shape

The graphs below are results from an independent study conducted by the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry comparing Energy Chain™ with plastic chains. The following conclusions were made: “...Energy Chain™ appears to possess better properties than many other conventional types of elastomeric chains. Although plastic chain had greater initial force, Energy Chain™ produced a greater force after eight weeks than other plastic chains did after one day

and maintained a higher percentage of its initial force. Our clinical observations indicate that a single piece of Energy Chain™ may be used for six weeks or longer...”
Another study conducted by Dr. Jina Concetta Annello at the University of the Pacific concluded that “Compared to other manufacturers, Rocky Mountain Orthodontics™’ elastomeric chains displayed the most ideal force for physiologic tooth movement”.
