Description:

"The 952-173P Upper Left Molar Band 36+ is a precision-crafted orthodontic band engineered for upper left molars that fall just above standard size 36. Ideal for in-between cases where a standard 36 is too tight and a 37 lacks stability, the 36+ option offers a refined fit that improves retention without compromising patient comfort. Made from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this band maintains its strength and shape under prolonged intraoral conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of clinical applications.
Its anatomical contour closely follows the natural curvature of the molar, allowing for secure placement with minimal need for reshaping during fitting. A micro-etched internal surface enhances adhesive bonding, ensuring solid retention of molar tubes, headgear components, space maintainers, and other fixed appliances throughout treatment. This optimized bond helps maintain appliance stability under varying mechanical forces.
To further support comfort, the band is finished with smooth, rounded edges that minimize soft tissue irritation over long wear periods. This makes the 952-173P a patient-friendly solution for both children and adults undergoing extended orthodontic care.
Each unit is clearly laser-etched with its size identifier to streamline selection, reduce error, and support workflow efficiency in high-volume practices. This feature allows for quicker turnaround during fittings, adjustments, or replacements—saving time without sacrificing accuracy.
The 952-173P is adaptable enough to serve both conventional anchorage applications and specialized molar control setups, providing orthodontists with versatility and control in treatment planning. Its intermediate sizing meets clinical demands for precision, while its construction ensures long-term reliability.
For practices committed to delivering consistent, high-quality care, the 952-173P stands out as a durable, anatomically precise, and performance-driven solution that bridges the gap between fixed sizes with ease.
