Dental Ligature Band

Dental ligature bands are small elastic or wire bands used in orthodontic treatment. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

These bands are commonly used in orthodontics to secure archwires to brackets or other orthodontic appliances. They help apply pressure to move teeth into their desired positions. Dental ligature bands come in various sizes and materials, such as stainless steel or elastic, to accommodate different treatment needs.

Orthodontists or dental professionals typically place and remove these bands during orthodontic appointments. They are an essential component in the process of aligning and straightening teeth.
