Description:

"The Washbon Textured Lower Left 1st Molar Band #18 is a precision-engineered orthodontic band tailored for the lower left first molar, tooth number 18. As part of Washbon’s advanced line of textured bands, it plays a vital role in fixed orthodontic treatments by offering a secure and stable anchorage point for various orthodontic appliances, including brackets, buccal tubes, and expanders. This band is particularly well-suited for pediatric patients or individuals with smaller molar anatomy and narrow dental arches.

A standout feature of the #18 band is its micro-textured inner surface, which significantly enhances mechanical retention. The textured finish increases the surface area available for dental cement to adhere to, resulting in a stronger and more durable bond between the band and the tooth enamel. This secure fit minimizes the risk of the band loosening or becoming dislodged during treatment, ensuring consistent force application and contributing to more predictable orthodontic outcomes.

The band is anatomically contoured to closely follow the natural shape of the lower left first molar, providing a snug and comfortable fit. This anatomical precision reduces irritation to the surrounding soft tissues and enhances patient comfort, especially during long-term orthodontic care. The accurate fit also supports the proper placement of orthodontic attachments, streamlining clinical procedures and improving treatment efficiency.

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the Washbon #18 band is resistant to corrosion, mechanical stress, and repeated sterilization. Its durability and hygienic properties make it a dependable choice for long-term orthodontic use."
