Dental Orthodontic Accessories Dental Molar Band

Molar bands, also known as orthodontic bands, are rings that are outfitted around your molars (back teeth) when constructing a set of braces. They are used in orthodontics to fit firm support to the archwire that runs along the braces' span.

The primary purpose is to provide an anchor for the braces wires and elastics. By attaching to the molars, the wires and elastics can exert force on the other teeth to move them into the desired position. They also help prevent the molars from rotating or shifting during treatment.
