Article NES-3749

Removing an orthodontic band shouldn’t put unnecessary force on the tooth beneath it, and that’s the core purpose of the Article NES-3749 T.C. Band Removing Pliers.
Designed specifically for the reverse task of banding, this instrument helps practitioners lift bands cleanly off molars and premolars without excessive strain during removal.
Fitted with tungsten carbide (T.C.) inserts, the working tips retain their edge and grip strength far longer than plain stainless steel jaws, an important detail since band removal often requires firm, repeated leverage rather than a single motion.
The carbide inserts help the plier bite into the band securely, reducing the chance of slipping mid-removal.
Function: removes orthodontic bands from molars and premolars
Tip material: tungsten carbide (T.C.) inserts
Body material: stainless steel
Sterilization: fully autoclavable
Band removal, unlike band seating, often has to work against cement or bonding agents that have held the band in place throughout treatment.
A dedicated removal plier with a secure carbide grip makes this process faster and less uncomfortable for the patient, cutting down on the number of attempts needed to fully dislodge the band.
Built for durability, the stainless steel body withstands the mechanical stress of repeated leverage use, while the carbide tips resist wear from direct contact with metal bands over time. Fully autoclavable, it’s ready to move from one debanding appointment to the next after standard sterilization.
For orthodontic practices handling frequent debanding at the end of treatment, this plier is a practical, purpose-built addition to the closing stage of a case.
