Separation of teeth is painful, try to avoid it: application of bonded buccal tubes and bands

Orthodontic treatment of molar teeth to be included in the orthodontic sequence, you need to put on the band ring or buccal tube, on the band ring will need to split teeth, split teeth for patients is really painful, I remember when I was in graduate school, a very good classmates want to wear braces to correct their teeth, it was earlier (2004), the school or a large number of applications band ring, first to the classmate split teeth, as his teeth gap is particularly tight, split ring I simply can not enter, I will use the splitting spring, 2 days after the classmates back dead or alive demolition, can not stand this crime, in his words “life is worse than death, see a bunch of delicious also dare not bite, torture ah”, ultimately is not made orthodontic, later said to the buccal tube, the students are also over the excitement of that did not get. After 10 years have passed, now the clinical situation is greatly improved, orthodontic condition has also undergone a major change. The people’s dental health and beauty practitioner gradually improve, not only the youth orthodontic population increased significantly, adult orthodontics is also gradually hot. The use of high-efficiency aligners, high-strength bonding agents, high-energy orthodontic arch wires and orthodontic implant supports has made patients more and more comfortable, less and less painful, and the treatment effect is fast and good. The most direct point is that bonded buccal tubes are gradually replacing the use of band rings, and the benefits are also obvious. He Yuhong, Department of Stomatology, General Hospital of Jinan Military Region For medical institutions, bonded buccal tubes make the inventory of rings well improved, there are different models of rings, different manufacturers, the labeling of rings from various manufacturers is not uniform, and the quality is not uniform, so that a large number of rings have to be prepared in the clinic, which will produce the pressure of inventory between different models. At the same time, it wastes a lot of nurses’ time to organize the rings and manage them. The use of buccal veneers only requires the separation of the teeth, which completely frees the nurses and improves the efficiency of the medical institution. For the practitioner, the use of buccal veneers will reduce the amount of time spent on band testing and mixing and bonding of the cement. For overly inclined teeth banding can result in incomplete retention and compromise results, while buccal tubes will bond directly to the desired position as needed. Of course, there are still a large number of doctors who have not yet changed their consciousness and feel that buccal veneers can be unstable and have a high rate of loss. In fact, the use of a high-strength bonding agent is fully capable of meeting the requirements for clinical use. The development of material technology requires doctors to constantly keep up with the needs of the times, and doctors demand change. For patients, the use of buccal surface tubes firstly reduces the step of splitting teeth in treatment, avoiding patients to come to the hospital for one more follow-up visit while not having the pain of splitting teeth. In addition, the buccal canal facilitates the cleaning of the patient’s teeth and reduces the occurrence of gingivitis. The use of buccal tubes completely eliminates the problem of small gaps between the molars during the use of braces, which can cause food impaction in patients. Of course, the use of bands cannot be completely replaced at present. In cases of particularly severe occlusal interference, or in cases where a transverse palatal liver (bonded transverse palatal rods are now used extensively) or an arch expander is required, or where the molar has a restoration (special bonding treatments can also be used to bond the buccal canal, but this can cause some damage to the restoration surface) bands still have a place. However, as time progresses and the doctor’s awareness changes, the use of buccal tubes will certainly increase greatly.
