3M Unitek General Purpose Molar Bands Kit, Wide
A kit of individual wide general purpose molar bands, giving a spread of sizes in regular temper to cover common molar banding needs across patients.
The Unitek General Purpose Molar Bands Kit provides orthodontic practices with a stocked set of wide molar bands sized for general purpose banding across a range of patients, saving staff from ordering individual band sizes ahead of every appointment. Individual bands from this range are available in hard temper for practices that prefer a stiffer band material, but the kit itself is supplied specifically in regular temper, giving the practice a workable, easily contoured band suited to typical chairside fitting and adjustment during the banding appointment.
Having a kit with a range of sizes on hand lets the clinician trial fit several bands directly on the patient's molar during the same visit, choosing the size that gives the best fit rather than working from a single ordered size that may need to be exchanged. Wide bands of this kind are intended to give good coverage across the tooth surface, providing a stable base for cementation and for any attachments such as tubes or hooks that may be welded onto the band.
This kit is a routine stock item for orthodontic practices that band molars as part of their standard fixed appliance protocol, restocked periodically as sizes are used from the kit.
