Strong stability: Molar bands enable molars to withstand greater chewing pressure, provide convenience for patients' daily lives, and make orthodontic treatment more stable.
FAQ of Ortho Molar Band
Compared with buccal tubes, molar bands are more stable, less likely to fall off the molars, and have strong support, and can be used to fix the bracket body expander; while buccal tubes are relatively easy to loosen and fall off.
On the contrary, due to the structural characteristics of the metal ring of the molar bands, a gap must be created between the teeth before the band is installed. This step is called tooth separation. This process has a certain degree of irritation to the gums, and it is not easy to clean hygienically. It may also form a larger gap between the teeth later; buccal tubes perfectly avoid these shortcomings, and patients will feel more comfortable when using them.
Molar bands can be used to temporarily fix early cracked teeth. Cracked teeth refer to shallow, tiny cracks on the crown surface that do not damage the root tip.
