What are some bands that go on teeth for braces?

There are two types of bands that go on teeth for braces: molar bands and premolar bands.

* Molar bands: These bands are placed on the molars, which are the back teeth. They are the largest bands and are used to anchor the braces to the teeth.

* Premolar bands: These bands are placed on the premolars, which are the teeth between the molars and canines. They are smaller than molar bands and are used to help correct the alignment of the teeth.

Braces are typically made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. Metal braces are the most common type of braces and are made of stainless steel. Ceramic braces are made of a clear or tooth-colored material and are less visible than metal braces. Plastic braces are made of a flexible plastic material and are the least visible type of braces.

The type of braces that you need will depend on your individual needs. Your orthodontist will recommend the best type of braces for you based on the severity of your malocclusion (bad bite) and your personal preferences.
