Band & Bracket Placement & Removal

Orthodontic procedures require accurate placement and removal of bands and brackets. To ensure precision during bracket placement, orthodontists use specialized hinged and locking instruments. The size and shape of these tools are carefully selected to accommodate the unique dental anatomy of each patient. Similarly, removal tools are used to safely and efficiently remove bands and brackets without damaging the teeth or surrounding structures.

• Box Joint vs Lap Joint Construction

  

  Pliers manufactured with box-jointed plier blanks, compared to the scissors-style lap joint, offer tremendous advantages in increased bearing surfaces and contact areas for maintaining tip alignment.

• High Gloss vs Satin Finish

  

  A highly polished surface provides the best resistance to corrosion, staining, and discoloration. We believe that a premium orthodontic plier should have a high gloss finish.
