Description:

"The Washbon Textured 1st Molar Band Right #18 is a finely engineered orthodontic band crafted for precise application on the right first molar, specifically tooth number 18. As part of Washbon’s specialized product line, this band is designed to deliver superior retention, anatomical accuracy, and long-term reliability in orthodontic treatments. It is particularly well-suited for pediatric and adolescent patients due to its smaller size.

One of the most notable features of the #18 band is its micro-textured inner surface. This design significantly enhances the mechanical bond between the band and the tooth by increasing the surface area for dental cement to adhere to. The result is a stronger, more secure connection that minimizes the risk of the band loosening or shifting during treatment. This ensures consistent force delivery from orthodontic appliances, reducing the need for re-cementation and improving treatment efficiency.

The band’s anatomical contouring is tailored to match the natural shape of smaller molars, providing a snug and comfortable fit. This precision fit not only enhances patient comfort by minimizing soft tissue irritation but also supports accurate placement of orthodontic attachments such as brackets, hooks, and buccal tubes. This contributes to smoother clinical workflows and more predictable treatment outcomes.

Constructed from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel, the Washbon #18 band is built to endure the demanding conditions of the oral environment. It resists corrosion, deformation, and wear, and is fully autoclavable, maintaining its integrity through repeated sterilization cycles."
