Practicon 7042617 Building Box Retainer Cases, 5/8″, Assorted (Pack of 12)

Description

Product Overview

Practicon 7042617 Building Box Retainer Cases are engineered from high‑impact vented polypropylene, a material chosen for its balance of rigidity and flexibility. The vented design promotes airflow, reducing moisture buildup and helping to maintain the integrity of orthodontic appliances such as retainers, aligners, and night guards. Each case measures an internal width of 3 inches, a length of 2¼ inches, and a depth of 5/8 inches, providing a snug yet accessible fit for a wide range of appliance sizes. The external dimensions of the pack are 10.98 x 5.59 x 2.72 inches, and the total weight of the twelve‑case set is 12.17 ounces, making it lightweight enough for easy transport while still offering robust protection.

The cases are color‑coded in bright blue, red, and yellow, allowing clinicians to quickly differentiate between patient assignments or treatment phases. The color assortment also adds a visual cue for patients, encouraging consistent use and proper storage habits. The cases are compatible with standard LEGO‑style block systems, enabling users to interlock multiple units into a single, organized module. This modular capability is especially useful in busy orthodontic offices where space efficiency and quick identification are paramount.

Usage

These retainer boxes are ideal for daily storage in both clinical and home environments. In a dental office, the cases can be placed on countertops, in drawers, or on sterilization trays without risk of deformation. The vented construction allows clinicians to inspect appliances quickly, while the transparent color coding helps staff locate the correct case during patient appointments. For patients, the compact size fits easily into a nightstand drawer, a travel bag, or a school locker, ensuring that retainers are protected from dust, accidental bending, or loss.

Because the cases are made from medical‑grade plastic, they are safe for repeated cleaning with mild disinfectants. The material resists staining and does not retain odors, which is essential for maintaining hygiene standards over the lifespan of the product. The lightweight nature of the cases also makes them suitable for travel, allowing patients to carry their orthodontic appliances on trips without adding bulk to their luggage.
