I'm going get my serators replaced with MetalBand today.
(No braces and wires just yet)
Has any one had to go through this?
What is it like and any caring tip ( flossing & brushing)

Search for "molar band" using the search function on this site, and you will see that many of us have them.

I have six bands and they don't give me any trouble. It's important to keep them clean and thorough brushing and flossing will take care of this.

Thanks! I can try the molar band for the keyword.

I got spacers on my top teeth, six in total, but i did not get molar bands. Just molar tubes. Wonder why I had the psacers.

Yep, i've been through all that. I had 4 molar bands now i'm down to two.
I'm sure you will ask this question towards the end of your treatment on how they are removed because i asked a few times and i've googled the same words so many times. I had my upper braces removed the other day and they just clipped them. They come off easier than they go on!
