Referee Law and Legal Definition. A referee, in a legal context, is a person to whom a judge refers a case to investigate the facts of a case and examine evidence and report to the court on such findings. A referee is often an attorney that acts as a judicial hearing officer for certain types of cases.
The final part of braces are interarch rubber bands, which are used to adjust bite and jaw position. These are connected to the brackets with hooks, often connecting the top tooth bracket with the bottom tooth bracket to help adjust the position of the teeth in the mouth and the position of the jaw.
More in Dental Care. Bands are used in orthodontics to anchor an appliance to the teeth or secure an archwire to the molars. Used on the molars and in some cases the premolars, bands are made from stainless steel and are very similar to a ring. Bands come in different sizes and are custom fit to the tooth using the appropriate dental instruments.
