Molar bands that are also known as orthodontic bands. These bands are rings that are used around your back teeth called molars when braces are applied. They are used by orthodontics to give a good anchor to the archwire that runs along the span of the braces. These molar bands are custom-fit which makes it very beneficial for all and completely encircles the tooth, unlike other shaped bands that are fitted to the face of the tooth. These bands are traditionally made of stainless steel but now molar bands are made of ceramic and clear plastic that works amazingly and are less visible. These bands are secured into place with the help of durable, non-toxic cement. Removable elastics or Forsus springs can be attached to the orthodontic band as it has a hook.
The alignment and spacing between teeth can be corrected with the help of an archwire as it is gradually shortened. It is not necessary to have molar bands if you applied braces, only some people need this to get the desired correction. These molar bands are very suitable and beneficial for people who have wide tooth gaps and uneven bites and for older people who have less malleable bone structure. Two or more bands can be needed, it depends upon the requirements. It is a very good option for children and teeth that have large fillings.
How do they Work?
For installing a fitted band there are two appointments. To determine the size of the teeth a dental impression of the patient’s teeth is made. Spacers are used to create a gap at the first appointment and bands are fitted and placed at the second appointment. The whole process involves, firstly, orthodontists insert elastic separators between teeth where bands are fitted and determine the approximate size of teeth. In between the time of two appointments teeth will start to move apart. In the next appointment, these separators are removed and bands are adjusted as required and tested for the correct size. If the size of the band is perfect then with the help of dental adhesive these are secured after polishing teeth.
The band remains at that place during your whole treatment and it helps in correcting your teeth alignment with gradual movement. After your orthodontic treatment, you must take care of many things. You must avoid eating things like popcorn, ice cream, and chocolates. Stop eating chewing gum and toffee. Stay away from eating these things that might stick to your teeth. Don't use whitening toothpaste during this process. If your band loses or your band slips off consult your orthodontist immediately.
