| The separating elastic is situated between the teeth where the band will be placed. One of the easiest methods of elastic placement is to use two threads of dental floss in order to hold the elastic. Next, gently "saw" the elastic between the teeth. Ideally, the elastic can be placed a few days before the band fitting appointment. If that were not possible, elastics could be placed at the same appointment. When both steps are planned for the same appointment, better separation will result if at least fifteen or twenty minutes is scheduled between elastic placement and the band try-in. |
