Spanish term

Ligaduras de separación por mesial y distal de 6 +/-­ 6.

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Dentistry Orthodontics
Hello, This is one of the entries in a diary of a dentist. The phrase implies that he places the separating ligatures on the different sides - mesial and distal- of teeth, I believe... However I am not sure of the right translation... These are my attempts but ... what is the correct preposition? "Separating ligatures on mesial and distal of 6 +/- 6?" "Separating ligatures through mesial and distal of 6 +/- 6?" "Separating ligatures by mesial and distal of 6 +/- 6?" or shall I changed it completely? All suggestions welcome! Thanks!

separation bands mesially and distally, 6 +/-­ 6.

They are not ligatures.

is the "6" referring to the tooth number?

Note from asker:
Thank you for the suggestions! I have taken into account the information you provided and found out that the actual translation of ligaduras de separación would be separators or spacers.
Something went wrong...
