Orthodontic separator

Orthodontic separators are small, single-use devices designed to gently push adjacent teeth apart, creating space for braces or other orthodontic appliances. Clinically, they help prepare teeth for alignment treatments by widening gaps where needed, improving the fit and effectiveness of subsequent orthodontic work.

These devices are typically classified as single-patient, single-use items and are supplied pre-sterilized for immediate clinical use. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally considered low-risk and may not require complex approval processes beyond standard medical device compliance.
