    All About the SEPARATORS

    Description:
    Separators are comprised of elastic, stainless
    steel, or brass material that help to create space
    in between posterior teeth in preparation for fit-
    ting/placement of orthodontic bands.

    General Instructions:
    Separators are to be maintained in the mouth until
    bands are fitted and cemented in the mouth.

    Sticky, chewy foods such as gum and caramels are
    to be avoided to prevent spontaneous removal of
    the separators.

    Cleaning:
    Normal brushing and flossing should be practiced,
    though flossing in the actual contacts where the
    separators are placed should be avoided. A
    fluoride mouth rinse may also be helpful to
    make sure that all exposed surfaces of the
    teeth are protected during appliance wear.

    What to Expect:
    Following placement of the separators, the in-
    volved teeth may exhibit some degree of soreness
    that can be eradicated utilizing anti-inflammatory

    medication for a day or two. Thereafter, the sepa-
    rators will be “invisible” to the patient.

    Remember:
    Separators may pop out and can be replaced by
    utilizing two pieces of floss and inserted as dem-
    onstrated in the office. Stainless steel or brass
    separators should be replaced in the office only.
    If a Separator falls out, the teeth tend to come
    together rapidly and will then require more separa-
    tion for banding. Please keep us informed of any
    changes with your separators if you are not able to
    re-insert them.
