Istar Dental Supply
Istar's orthodontic spacers provide dentists with precise spacing for easy band placement, enhancing control and efficiency in orthodontic treatments.
Types of Ortho Separators
- Elastic separator: The rubber separator is the most commonly used material for separating teeth. It can be placed in the gap between teeth with a separating forceps.
- Springs separator: The spring separator needs a needle holder. Clamp the short arm of the spring, cut it along the buccal surface of the crown between the molars to the position of the gums, and push it to fix it.
- Metal wire separators: Bend the metal wire into an arc, insert it into the gap between teeth, wrap it around once and cross it with the other end of the metal wire, and twist it in a clockwise direction after fixing it.
Advantages of Rubber Band Orthodontic Separator
Painless treatment: Using a rubber separator to separate teeth can minimize the patient's discomfort. Although it may cause slight soreness in the early stage, it will disappear within a day or two.
Lightweight and efficient: The placement of the orthodontic spacer is simple and quick. If it is accidentally loosened or dropped, the patient can also replace it by himself. Usually, wearing it for about a week can create enough space for the ring.
Protect teeth: If the tooth separation step is not performed and the molar band is forced into place, it may damage the teeth, cause strong discomfort to the gums, and easily cause food residues to be embedded, leading to inflammation, swelling, pain and bleeding of the gums.
