Though its too late for the answer,
the separators are meant to create space between your molars
for the bands to go in.
Hello everyone.
Little back story. I had my top set put on at the beginning of January, just brackets all around, no bands. My bottom set was put in in August, so Ive had them for about 3 months now. Once again, no banding, just brackets. I had to transfer ortho's due to an out of state move, and now my new guy wants to put bands only on the bottom back molars. I had my separators put in last Tuesday and will go back in a week for the actually bands. Only thing is, there is NO space between the molars and my jaw line in the back. How is he going to put bands all around my molar? Im really nervous as to what the answer is. So far, the level of discomfort has been very little.
If anyone could shed some light on what ill happen, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
