LP Double Tube 6 — American Orthodontics | 0.022" Main Slot | Roth & MBT
The LP Double Tube 6 from American Orthodontics is a low-profile double molar tube for the 1st molar, manufactured in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA. The main slot accepts 0.022-inch rectangular wires, while the auxiliary slot accommodates 0.036-inch round auxiliary arches for additional mechanics. Two prescription variants are available — Roth and MBT — allowing the practitioner to select the torque and tip values matching their treatment philosophy. Base options include a photo-etched foil base or an 80-gauge mesh base, providing bonding surface flexibility depending on clinical preference. The tube is sold per unit, giving full control over quantity ordering.

Clinical Confidence
Dual-Slot Molar Mechanics with Prescription-Specific Engineering
The LP Double Tube 6 integrates two distinct slot dimensions in a single low-profile molar attachment. The 0.022-inch main slot handles the full archwire sequence, while the 0.036-inch round auxiliary slot enables the placement of auxiliary arches, utility arches, or other auxiliary wires without disturbing the main wire. This dual-slot geometry supports more complex molar mechanics while keeping the overall tube profile low for patient comfort.
American Orthodontics offers this tube in both Roth and MBT prescriptions, with each incorporating the specific torque and tip values associated with those bracket philosophies. Two distinct base options — photo-etched foil and 80-gauge mesh — allow the clinician to choose the bonding surface that pairs well with their adhesive system and preferred surface preparation protocol. Selling by individual unit rather than full case gives practices the flexibility to order exact quantities.

Key Features
0.022" Main Slot
Accepts the standard rectangular wire sequence from initial NiTi through stainless steel finishing arches in a 0.022 system.
0.036" Auxiliary Round Slot
Accommodates a 0.036-inch round auxiliary arch for vertical control, torque mechanics, or utility arch applications independent of the main wire.
Low-Profile Tube Body
Reduced overall height limits soft-tissue contact at the molar and minimises the moment arm on the adhesive bond during treatment forces.
Roth and MBT Prescription Variants
Each prescription variant incorporates torque and tip values specific to that system, ensuring compatibility with matched bracket sets.
Photo-Etched Foil Base Option
The photo-etched foil base provides a precise, consistent bonding surface with defined surface texture for reliable adhesive engagement.
80-Gauge Mesh Base Option
The 80-gauge mesh base offers mechanical retention through a woven mesh pattern, a widely used bonding surface for direct-bond molar tubes.
Professional Use Cases
Clinical Applications
Standard Rectangular Wire Mechanics
The 0.022" main slot manages full archwire treatment from leveling and aligning through torque expression in finishing wires.
Auxiliary Arch Applications
The 0.036" auxiliary slot supports utility arches and auxiliary wires used for intrusion, extrusion, or anchorage supplementation at the molar.
Prescription-Integrated Systems
Designed to work within complete Roth or MBT bracket setups where consistent prescription values across all attachments are required.

Chairside Reference
Chairside Decision Guide
| Clinical Situation | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Prescription Selection | Order the Roth variant if your bracket system is Roth; order MBT if your system is MBT. Mixing prescriptions within an arch is generally not recommended. |
| Base Selection | Photo-etched foil base is suited to flat molar surfaces; 80-gauge mesh may be preferred for surfaces where greater mechanical retention is desired. |
| Quantity | Sold per tube. Calculate the exact number of molar positions to be bonded to determine the order quantity. |

Application Guidelines & Reference
Application Application Guidelines
-
1
Prescription Verification
Confirm the prescription variant (Roth or MBT) before bonding. Verify tube positioning matches the intended molar position.
-
2
Base Preparation
For the photo-etched foil base, ensure full adhesive coverage. For mesh base, press firmly to seat the mesh into the adhesive layer fully.
-
3
Slot Orientation
Orient the tube so the main 0.022" slot is aligned with the archwire path and the auxiliary slot is accessible for auxiliary arch insertion.
-
4
Auxiliary Slot Use
When placing auxiliary wires in the 0.036" slot, ensure the auxiliary wire does not impinge on the main archwire or restrict main slot wire movement.
Pairs With Best Used With
- American Orthodontics Roth or MBT bracket sets
- 0.022" NiTi and stainless steel archwires
- 0.036" round utility or auxiliary arches
- Compatible light-cured molar bonding adhesives
Professional Dental Use Professional Use Notice
Confirm prescription compatibility — Roth and MBT tubes differ in torque and tip values and should be matched to the bracket prescription in use. When using the photo-etched foil base, avoid excess adhesive that could flow into the slot opening during seating.
