"Orthodontic Device" has the answer "SPACER." In orthodontics, a spacer, also known as an orthodontic separator, is a small rubber or metal device used to create space between teeth. Spacers are typically placed between the molars before fitting braces or other orthodontic appliances.
By gently pushing the teeth apart, spacers make room for bands or other components of braces. This process is essential for ensuring that the braces can be properly installed and function effectively to correct dental alignment issues. Spacers are usually worn for a short period, ranging from a few days to a week, and may cause slight discomfort as they create the necessary space.
