The attachment that is welded to bands or attached to a backing pad and bonded directly to the teeth is commonly known as a bracket. Brackets are an essential part of orthodontic treatment as they are used to attach wires and elastics that help move the teeth into their correct positions. Separators are small rubber bands placed between teeth to create space for the placement of bands, while a retainer is a device that is worn after orthodontic treatment to hold the teeth in their new position. Coil springs are small springs that are used to create space between teeth or push teeth apart.
