Description:

"The 952-163P Upper Left Molar Band 31+ is a precision-matched orthodontic band designed for upper left molars that require a slightly larger fit than standard size 31. As an essential intermediate option, the 31+ sizing addresses cases where a 31 band feels too snug and a 32 lacks proper contact—enhancing appliance stability and treatment accuracy.
Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel, the band provides long-term corrosion resistance, strength, and shape integrity in the oral environment. Its anatomically contoured design aligns with the natural curvature of the molar, minimizing the need for chairside adjustment and supporting streamlined placement.
The band’s micro-etched internal surface boosts adhesive retention, creating a secure bond for molar tubes, headgear attachments, space maintainers, or other fixed appliances. This high-grip interface ensures reliable anchorage throughout various treatment phases.
Patient comfort is a built-in priority. Rounded, polished edges minimize irritation to gingival tissues and surrounding soft structures, making the band well-suited for adolescent and adult patients alike. Even during extended wear, the design promotes comfort and compliance.
Each unit features laser-etched sizing for easy chairside identification, speeding up fitting and reducing selection errors. This labeling contributes to greater efficiency in busy orthodontic workflows and helps maintain accurate inventory tracking.
Clinicians working with unique molar anatomy or transitional sizing needs will find the 952-163P invaluable. Whether used in everyday banding or specialized anchorage systems, it offers the adaptability, retention strength, and anatomical precision that modern orthodontic procedures demand.
The 952-163P combines thoughtful engineering and clinical utility in a dependable format—an essential addition to any comprehensive band inventory."
