The Future of Banded Appliances
B
anded orthodontic appliances are
experiencing a major evolutionary
leap. Enabled by selective laser sintering
technology, software-aided appliance
design and the proliferation of intraoral
scanning technology, 3D-printed metal
bands and appliances will become a core
offering in a short period of time. Because of
its impact on part quality, clinical workflows
and laboratory operations, laser sintering
technology is poised to be the future of
metal orthodontic appliances.
Traditionally banded appliances are
deeply woven into the fabric of orthodontic
practice, and the fabrication of these
appliances requires acceptance of otherwise
unavoidable drawbacks.
" Band-supported appliances are many
and varied, including space maintainers,
habit mitigation and the like. While
these appliances offer many advantages
for our patients, the need to use bands
to secure them poses challenges. Multiple
appointments are typically required, a
band inventory must be maintained and,
when treating a mixed-dentition patient,
management challenges can be added to the
list. The advent of scanning technology has
been a game-changer for younger patients;
the most significant criterion for treatment
in my practice used to be whether a child
could tolerate an alginate impression. But
even with scanning, creating adequate
space and fitting bands was still a problem.
Great Lakes sintered bands further simplify
appliance fabrication, effectively expanding
the ability to offer treatment by reducing
chair time and the need for the patient to
tolerate appointments and procedures. "
