Some clinicians use a tongue depressor to aid in pushing the band down over the tooth. You can ask the patient to bite gently on the tongue depressor and the band is pushed down. HELPFUL HINT: As shown in the photograph, sometimes a tongue depressor which has been broken in half can be used more effectively than an unbroken tongue depressor, since the broken tongue depressor is smaller and easier for the child to bite on. |
