Ball Hooks – Leone

Leone Ball Hooks for Orthodontics – Precision Stainless Steel Hooks in 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm and 0.9 mm

Ball Hooks are premium orthodontic auxiliaries designed to provide reliable attachment points for elastics, ligatures, and auxiliary mechanics in fixed appliance therapy. Manufactured by Leone S.p.A., a globally trusted name in orthodontics, these ball hooks combine advanced plasma technology with medical-grade stainless steel to deliver precision, durability, and patient comfort.

Orthodontists rely on ball hooks daily to support predictable elastic traction and controlled biomechanics. They  are engineered to integrate seamlessly into treatment workflows while ensuring long-term stability in the oral environment.

Advanced Plasma Technology for Perfect Spherical Heads

One of the defining features of Leone Ball Hooks is the innovative plasma manufacturing technology used to form the hook head. This advanced process produces a perfectly spherical head, ensuring smooth edges and consistent geometry across every unit.

This products are available in three precise diameters:

• 0.7 mm
• 0.8 mm
• 0.9 mm

These size options allow orthodontists to select the ideal hook diameter based on treatment mechanics, elastic strength, and patient comfort.

The perfectly rounded surface created through plasma technology offers important clinical benefits:

• Reduced friction and smooth elastic engagement
• Secure elastic retention during daily function
• Increased patient comfort with no sharp edges
• Easier cleaning and improved hygiene

Medical-Grade Stainless Steel for Maximum Durability

They are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel specifically selected for orthodontic use. The oral cavity is a demanding environment, and the materials used must resist corrosion, mechanical stress, and long-term wear.

Key material advantages include:

• Excellent corrosion resistance
• High tensile strength and mechanical stability
• Biocompatibility and patient safety
• Resistance to deformation under elastic forces

This ensures Leone Ball Hooks maintain their shape and performance throughout the entire treatment period.

Designed for Efficient Elastic Traction

Ball hooks are essential for many orthodontic mechanics, particularly when elastics are used to guide tooth movement and improve occlusion. Leone Ball Hooks provide secure anchorage points that allow orthodontists to apply controlled and predictable forces.

Typical clinical applications include:

• Interarch elastic traction
• Anchorage reinforcement
• Space closure mechanics
• Mid-treatment adjustments
• Finishing and detailing stages

The availability of 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, and 0.9 mm spherical heads makes it easier to tailor treatment to each patient’s biomechanical requirements.

Improved Patient Comfort

Patient comfort plays a major role in treatment compliance, especially when elastics must be worn daily. Leone Ball Hooks are designed with smooth, polished spherical heads that minimize irritation to lips and cheeks.

Their compact shape allows patients to:

• Speak comfortably
• Eat with minimal interference
• Maintain oral hygiene more easily

The plasma-polished surface also reduces plaque accumulation, supporting better oral health during orthodontic treatment.
