Anatomy of a Maximum Retention Band
TM

Photo etched material Reduced interproximal heights
Result in less tissue impingementand less gapping at the gingival margins

All MR bands feature photo etched pockets for dramatically increased band retention

Bright mirror finish

Smooth finish for improved hygiene

Developmental groove indents

Mirror tooth anatomy and aid in seating

Temper Laser etched sizing
Clear and permanent etching indicates size and quadrant

Each band series receives the proper amountof annealing to achieve desired stiffness

Rolled occlusal and gingival edges

Provide greater edge strength during seating and increased cement retention

Material Thickness

Along with temper, determines band stiffness

Fully graduated: As band's circumference increases, sodoes occlusal-gingival height, maintaining maximum tooth coverage for each band size Incrementally graduated: Occlusal-gingival height only increases every few band sizes, allowing for low, streamlined profile
