Buccal Tube Upper Triple / Lower Double Convertible — HRRS | Ultra Low Profile | 17-4PH Steel
HRRS manufactures this convertible buccal tube set in 17-4PH precipitation-hardened stainless steel, providing high hardness and corrosion resistance across extended treatment periods. The upper molar tubes feature a triple slot in a convertible design, while the lower molar tubes are a double slot, also convertible. An ultra low profile body reduces the buccal footprint at the molar, limiting contact with cheek tissue during function. The mesially placed compound contour mesh base is shaped to approximate buccal molar anatomy, supporting consistent bond distribution. Both Roth and MBT prescriptions are available, and each case includes four tubes covering all four quadrants.

Clinical Confidence
17-4PH Steel Construction with Convertible Upper Triple and Lower Double Slots
HRRS uses 17-4PH precipitation-hardened stainless steel for this tube set, a material grade that offers significantly higher hardness than standard 304 stainless while retaining corrosion resistance. The convertible design on both upper and lower tubes allows the clinician the option to convert the tube to a bracket configuration during treatment if indicated. Upper molars carry a triple slot to accommodate additional wire or attachment options, while lower molars use a double slot for the standard dual-function configuration.
The compound contour mesh base is positioned mesially, which is intended to match the anatomical contour of the buccal molar surface and distribute adhesive mechanical retention across the full base footprint. The ultra low profile tube body is among the lowest available in conventional molar tube designs, which addresses the mucosal impingement concern in patients with active cheek tissue. This tube set is offered in Roth and MBT prescriptions and provides a complete four-tube per-case configuration.

Engineering
Key Features
17-4PH Precipitation-Hardened Stainless Steel
Higher hardness compared to 304 stainless provides resistance to slot wear and deformation under the forces applied through treatment archwires.
Ultra Low Profile Design
The tube body height is minimised to reduce cheek irritation and limit the cantilever moment on the bond during lateral occlusal contacts.
Convertible Upper Triple Slot
The upper molar triple slot tube can be converted from a tube to a bracket-style slot opening during treatment, adapting to changing mechanical requirements.
Convertible Lower Double Slot
The lower molar double slot tube shares the convertible feature, giving the clinician the option to modify slot access mid-treatment.
Compound Contour Mesh Base — Mesially Placed
The mesially positioned compound contour mesh follows molar surface anatomy to maximise base-to-enamel contact area and improve bond distribution.
Roth and MBT Prescriptions
Available in both major prescription systems, allowing integration with the full range of Roth or MBT bracket setups.
Professional Use Cases
Clinical Applications
Direct-Bond Molar Attachment
The compound contour mesh base is designed for direct bonding to the molar buccal surface in cases where molar bands are not indicated.
Cases Requiring Convertible Mechanics
Where the treatment plan may involve converting a molar tube to bracket access — for example, during space closure or torque mechanics — the convertible feature avoids rebonding.
Roth or MBT Prescription Systems
Integrates with a complete Roth or MBT appliance setup, maintaining consistent prescription values across all attachments in the arch.

Chairside Reference
Chairside Decision Guide
| Clinical Situation | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Upper vs. Lower Differentiation | Ensure correct tube placement: upper (triple slot) tubes are not interchangeable with lower (double slot) tubes. Verify quadrant labeling before bonding. |
| Prescription Selection | Select Roth or MBT to match the bracket prescription used on premolars and anteriors in the same treatment arch. |
| Convertible Feature Use | The convertible cap can be removed during treatment to access a bracket-like slot. Plan ahead for cases where this functionality may be used. |

Clinical Workflow
Application Guidelines & Reference
Application Application Guidelines
-
1
Quadrant Identification
Confirm the correct tube for each quadrant before bonding. Upper triple and lower double tubes differ in slot geometry and must not be transposed.
-
2
Mesh Base Seating
Apply firm, even pressure during seating to ensure the compound contour mesh base makes full contact with the buccal surface. The mesially positioned base geometry benefits from deliberate pressure distribution.
-
3
Convertible Cap Management
The convertible cap is in place at bonding. If conversion is planned during treatment, ensure it is removed under controlled conditions without applying force to the adhesive bond.
-
4
Adhesive Selection
Use a light-cured adhesive with sufficient working time to allow accurate tube positioning given the compound contour base geometry.
Pairs With Best Used With
- 0.022" NiTi and stainless steel archwires (Roth or MBT sequence)
- Matched Roth or MBT bracket sets for premolars and anteriors
- Light-cured direct-bond orthodontic adhesives
- Bonding forceps appropriate for low-profile tube handling
Professional Dental Use Professional Use Notice
The 17-4PH material grade is harder than standard 304 stainless — avoid using pliers or instruments that could notch the slot wall during archwire insertion or removal. When converting from tube to bracket mode, follow the manufacturer's conversion procedure to avoid stressing the attachment bond.
