About Orthodontic Band-Removing Pliers
Molar bands are metal rings cemented around the back teeth to hold tubes and attachments. At the end of treatment they are taken off with a band remover. The white pad rests on the biting surface of the tooth as a stable, cushioned support, while the metal beak engages the edge of the band and lifts it free.
How it is made
- Overall length 13 cm.
- One white contact pad fitted opposite a metal beak.
- TC (tungsten carbide) working end.
Band remover or bracket remover?
A band remover has a pad on one side and is used for bands on the back teeth. Bracket removers have two metal jaws and are used for brackets. See our anterior bracket-removing pliers and bracket remover pliers.
Replacement pads
Pads wear with use. The plier comes with one fitted pad; spare pads are not included. If you want spares, ask in your quotation and we confirm pads that fit this plier.
Ordering
- Sold as one plier with one fitted pad.
- Evaluation samples of 1–3 pieces per pattern are available.
Care
Check that the pad is firmly attached and not cracked, and replace it when worn. Follow the supplied processing instructions and your facility's validated protocol.
