OSL 1st Molar Prewelded Molar Bands MBT 0.022 U3/L2 (Pack Of 4)

• Slot Size: 0.022" MBT
• Material: Medical-grade stainless steel
• Sizes: #30-#44
• Sterilization: Autoclavable at 135°C

Design: 

• Upper (U3): Triple-tube configuration (main 0.022" slot + auxiliary tubes) for archwires/appliances (e.g., headgear)
• Lower (L2): Double-tube design (main slot + auxiliary) for anchorage

 Band Selection

• Size Check: Use the laser-etched markings (if present) to identify sizes (#30–#44 inferred)
• Fit Test: Ensure the band seats 1–2mm below the occlusal surface without gingival impingement

Tooth Preparation

• Separators: Place elastic spacers 1–7 days prior to create interproximal space
• Surface Roughening: Lightly score the tooth’s contact areas with a diamond bur to enhance retention (optional, based on cement type)

Band Placement

• Upper (U3):
• Lower (L2):

Cementation

• Cement Choice: Use glass ionomer cement (e.g., Ketac-Cem) for optimal adhesion to stainless steel
• Application: Fill the band’s interior with cement, seat it on the tooth, and remove excess before setting

Archwire & Auxiliaries

• Main Archwire: Insert into the 0.022" slot for MBT prescription alignment
• Auxiliaries: Attach appliances (e.g., lip bumpers) to the U3’s auxiliary tubes or L2’s secondary tube

Post-Placement Check

• Occlusion: Ensure no interference during biting
• Gingival Health: Confirm no tissue compression

• MBT Compatibility: Prewelded buccal tubes for .022" archwire slots, adhering to MBT prescription protocols
