WHAT DO THEY DO?
Seperators create space around teeth so that a silver band can be fitted around the tooth. This is normally done on the back teeth

HOW?
They sit between the teeth and expand and push the teeth apart

WHEN DO I WEAR THEM?
All the time for 3-14 days before bands are placed

CAN I STILL BRUSH?
It is important to continue to brush the teeth well around the separator even if they are sore.

WHAT IF IT FALLS OUT?
Occasionally the separators become loose and fall out which means sufficient room has been made for the bands. Try putting it back with your finger nail - if you cannot do so then don’t worry, provided you did not pull out the separator yourself. If you did pull it out yourself you must contact us.
