Can someone recommend a thread which has a bit of stretch but will hold a
knot - I'm thinking probably rayon or silk - for an interim orthodontic
repair?
An interim orthodontic repair! Do you mean that you need to tie some dentures together temporarily? What about superglue (cyanoacrylate) or araldite (epoxy resin)?
A bit of stretch suggests a synthetic thread of some sort - though I'd suggest nylon or polyester rather than rayon. Also a synthetic would be less absorbent than silk. I've no experience of using thread for orthodontic repair, but I'd guess - and it is only a guess - that a filament thread rather than a spun thread would be better, though the knot would be more difficult.
Probably the best bet would be dental floss.
