Management of maxilla and mandibular fractures are based on the principles of reduction, fixation and immobilization of the fracture segments.
One of the processes of reduction is to apply continuous and gradual elastic traction by placing elastics from the upper and lower arch bars in a definite manner and direction as per the fracture line. Orthodontic elastic separators are versatile, and the major advantage is the higher traction forces as compared to conventional elastics.
Prestretched separator elastics were guided over the arch bar or fixed orthodontic appliances to provide desired traction.
Orthodontic elastic separators are therefore versatile, and the major advantage is the higher traction forces as compared to conventional elastics. They provide an edge over the use of wires as they tend to break off by work hardening.
Therefore, we have adapted orthodontic separators and have used them in place of conventional elastics for the last 10 years with appreciable results after taking informed consent from the patients.
上颌骨和下颌骨骨折的治疗基于骨折段复位、固定和制动的原则。
复位过程之一是按照骨折线，以上下牙弓杆特定的方式和方向放置弹力线，施加持续且逐渐增大的弹性牵引。正畸弹性分离器用途广泛，主要优点是与传统弹力线相比，牵引力更大。
将预拉伸的分离器弹力线引导至牙弓杆或固定正畸矫治器上，以提供所需的牵引力。
因此，正畸弹性分离器用途广泛，主要优点是与传统弹力线相比，牵引力更大。与使用金属丝相比，它们具有优势，因为金属丝往往会因加工硬化而折断。
因此，在获得患者知情同意后，过去10年来我们采用了正畸分离器并将其用于替代传统弹力线，取得了显著效果。
