They act as a durable \u201cfoundation\u201d for attaching orthodontic parts like tubes, brackets, or hooks. They are commonly used in fixed braces and in appliances such as palatal expanders and headgear systems. Unlike small bonded attachments, orthodontic bands wrap around the tooth and are held in place with dental cement."}
