What are Separators?
Separators are small elastic bands that are placed in between the teeth to be banded. Discomfort from them, if any, would be limited to the first two to three days. If needed, over the counter products like Tylenol or Advil can be used to control the soreness. If the serperators are lost, they must be replaced at least two days before the appliance delivery appointment. This will allow for enough time for the space to develop and will make it much easier to properly fit the bands.
