ELASTIC SEPARATORS-WHITE/BLUE |
| Elastomeric separators are impregnated with radio-opaque material to make them visible on x-rays. Occasionally, an elastomeric separator will be pushed gingivally into the tissue during banding procedures. To use the elastic separators, stretch the separator with a separator placement plier, sawing back and forth over the contact until the inferior portion passes underneath the contact point. Remove with a scaler or curette. |

TP SPRINGS - MOLAR |
| Preformed Stainless Steel separating springs. Grab the short end near the coil and engage the hook on the lingual embrasure. Stretch the spring over the top of the contact point, releasing the short end into the buccal embrasure. Remove with a hemostat, crushing the coil on the buccal to open the spring. Available in molar (050-002) and bimolar. Sold in packs of 100 |

BRASS SEPARATING LOOPS - 020 |
| Before the development of elastomeric separators and nickel-titanium separating springs, brass separating wire was the method of choice for tooth separation. Today, brass wire is used to maintain space already created by another type of separator while waiting for the arrival of bands from the IP Appliance or the lab (such as lower lingual arch). Brass separators come in preformed lengths, and are threaded gingival to the contact and then twisted to the buccal with a Mathieu plier after wrapping around the contact. Difficulty may be encountered between upper molars with the palatal tissue, because the brass wire sometimes acts as a suture. Insert the flattened end from lingual to buccal, and then twist the two ends until "firm pressure" is felt. |

DIAMOND DISK (Not available in PDS SPAIN) |
| Diamond disks are used to create space between teeth, typically when a separator is lost or there is not enough space for two bands. Push an amalgam wedge inferior of the contact point of the two adjacent teeth to give some immediate separation and to protect the gingival tissue from damage. Protecting the tongue and lips with a tongue blade, run the disc through the contact using a slow speed handpiece.
The same separating disc is used when "stripping" or "slenderizing" anterior teeth for improved retention. The resulting flat contact points and reduced inter-canine width allow for more stability in the incisors. |

NEET SPRINGS - MOLAR |
| Action: The vertical legs are separated to allow separation of adjacent teeth by pushing away from the contact point. In addition, the spring will seat itself as the action against the proximal walls of the tooth force the spring apically. The spring may also "scissor" the contact apart if the spring is smaller buccal-lingually than the contact point. Nickel-titanium separating springs are best suited for separation of teeth in adult patients and overtight contacts. Less force is exerted on the teeth, resulting in significantly less pain than elastomeric separators.
Placement: Placement is accomplished by grabbing the angle's vertical leg without the hook on the end with a locking Mosquito Heomostat or other small beaked plier. The serrated tips help to avoid slippage of the spring from the grasp of the plier during placement. Engage the long hooked end into the buccal or lingual embrasure and stretch the other end over the contact until it engages the opposite embrasure.
Space Generation: Sufficient space will be available for banding in one or two days on adolescent patients. Adult patients with tight contacts should be rescheduled in 1 week for band fitting after placement.
Removal: Removal of the spring is very easy. Use an explorer or scaler to lift the spring from the contact. In the event that the spring has rolled around the contact point, lift the spring with a scaler, grab the free end with a hemostat, and pull the spring free.
Patients should be cautioned not to eat chewy foods when Neet springs are in place. The springs are available in "Molar," "Bi/Molar," and "Bicuspid" sizes. The molar size is best used between the upper first and second molar contact. The molar-bicuspid size usually fits best between the first molar and bicuspid.
Sold in packages of 25. Available in Molar (050-010), BiMolar (050-015), or Bicuspid (050-020). |
