Description:

"The Washbon Textured 1st Molar Band Lower Left #5 is a finely engineered orthodontic band specifically designed for the lower left first molar, tooth number 5. It is part of Washbon’s trusted line of textured bands and is particularly suited for patients with smaller or narrower mandibular molars, including children and adults with compact dental arches.

This band is constructed from high-grade medical stainless steel, offering excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability in the oral environment. A key feature is its micro-textured inner surface, which enhances mechanical retention by increasing the bonding surface area for dental cement. This ensures a secure, stable fit that resists slippage or debonding during treatment, supporting consistent force application and effective tooth movement.

The #5 band is anatomically contoured to match the shape of smaller molars, providing a snug and comfortable fit. This reduces the need for chairside adjustments and minimizes irritation to surrounding soft tissues, improving patient comfort and compliance. Its compact design makes it ideal for early-phase orthodontic treatment, mixed dentition, or cases with limited space in the lower arch.

Compatible with a wide range of orthodontic attachments—including buccal tubes, lingual sheaths, and headgear components—the band is highly adaptable for various clinical applications. It supports anchorage control, rotation correction, and integration into full fixed appliance systems.

Autoclavable and easy to incorporate into modern orthodontic workflows, the Washbon #5 band is a dependable solution for achieving precise molar stabilization and optimal treatment outcomes in both routine and complex cases."
