I have tried to collect pictures of full bands from 1980 and before without much luck. I think it is easier to find headgear photos than full bands, other than those posted in old braces sites.

Any one else here like full bands? I've always preferred the look of bands over bonded brackets but unfortunately full bands are seldom used or seen today...

I do like them much. IHMO the full bands are just like the mother-of-all for fixed braces. Just one thing is left from the full bands: the molar bands that normally are being used - but rarely to be seen

Exactly. It's been a few years since I've seen anybody with full bands. But when I was younger they were the only type of braces that I knew...

I like the look of them too, and in theory a banded teeth has just 20% remaining surface for caries to settle, assuming that the patient cleans the remaining surface very regular and in-depth.

If you REALLY like them, you can still get them from any ortho. Bands are still sold for all teeth in all sizes, they just cost more to glue in, cos it takes alot more time and the bands cost a bit more than just brackets.

Ive talked to some peoples the last years who had Fullbands, one was a 40year old teacher on a highschool. But id not really like to get them my own, brackets are cool enough for me.

Yeah there were some recent flickr photos taken ~2004 of somebody with full bands.

It is indeed much more difficult to find pictures of fully banded braces than headgear, unfortunately.

bwbraces · « **Reply #13 on:** 24. June 2009, 17:08:31 PM »

can you post those pictures somewhere? and let us know where you post them? you can probably post them on flickr but use a code and then let people in here know. don't make it obvious

bwbraces · « **Reply #14 on:** 24. June 2009, 17:17:50 PM »

anyone have any full bands pictures they can post?

bwbraces · « **Reply #15 on:** 20. September 2009, 01:49:26 AM »

ladies home journal august 1979 - has an awesome picture of a woman with full bands

dickyb2000 · « **Reply #16 on:** 25. September 2009, 16:26:37 PM »

can you scan it and get it hosted so that we can see it?

bwbraces · « **Reply #17 on:** 04. October 2009, 18:58:35 PM »

I don't have it available - there's someone selling one on ebay for like 18-22$ but I think that's pretty pricey to pay for a picture.. I'm sure someone can get it from the library.

My girlfriend in the 1980s had full bands on her lower teeth. they left very slight gaps between her teeth at the end of her treatment

Embracer · « **Reply #19 on:** 08. March 2011, 11:37:16 AM »

also my sister had full bands on her top teeth in the late 1960's after first having two different removable appliances

My 1st braces treatment – between the ages of 12 and 17 (1987 -1991) was in full bands (and headgear).
Believe me, they aren’t as much fun as you imagine. Actually, they are pretty crappy. “Normal” railroad tracks are a lot more fun – even from a fetishist’s perspective.

I really look forward to the day I can get a full blown mouthful
of metal braces and headgear - it would be a dream come true for me
