Description:

"The Washbon Textured Lower Left 1st Molar Band #8 (374-0008) is a precisely engineered orthodontic band crafted for the lower left first molar, specifically tooth number 8. As part of Washbon’s advanced textured band series, this model is designed to meet the needs of cases requiring a smaller band size while maintaining high standards of retention, comfort, and durability.

A key feature of the #8 band is its micro-textured inner surface, which significantly enhances mechanical bonding. By increasing the surface area for dental cement adhesion, this texture ensures a firm and stable grip on the enamel. This strong retention minimizes the risk of the band loosening during treatment, allowing for consistent force application and more predictable orthodontic results.

The band is tailored for smaller molar anatomies, making it especially suitable for pediatric patients or individuals with narrow lower dental arches. Its anatomically contoured shape closely follows the natural curvature of the molar, providing a snug and secure fit. This design reduces irritation to surrounding soft tissues and enhances patient comfort, which is crucial for long-term treatment compliance.

Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the Washbon #8 band is resistant to corrosion, deformation, and wear from repeated sterilization. These properties make it a durable and hygienic choice for orthodontists working in demanding clinical environments.

In summary, the Washbon Textured Lower Left 1st Molar Band #8 offers a compact yet highly effective solution for orthodontic banding. It combines secure retention, anatomical precision, and long-lasting performance, making it ideal for treating smaller lower molars in pediatric and adolescent patients."
