Having problems with message search?
A band is the old fashioned kind of bracket that goes around the tooth so that they are much less likely to fall off. I have gotten three so far as I have the same problem. They will probably put spacers between those teeth so that they can fit them around the tooth. Some people think they are a big deal, but I didn't. Of course, I had a full mouth of bands in the 1970s, so three feels like nothing...
Best of luck with them- Steph

another fell off of last molar within hours of putting on. I haven't
even eaten anything yet. If the glue doesn't hold the first day, how
will I keep them on a whole year? What else will they do and what is
a band?
