Product Description

To improve grip, the working end is made of tungten carbide.

The spring action between the holding parts makes it easier to work quickly and save time.

In orthodontics, it's mostly used to tighten the lace back wire.

A pair of MATHIEU are used to hold the rubber separator from both ends and open it to loosen it before placing it in the interdental space.

Putting bands on braces is a good idea- see the most recent revision These were purchased to supplement my son's braces' rubber bands

3/5

br>My son is a small-mouthed youngster. So putting the bands on was at best a challenge, and removing the band from the plastic tool, which is also sold, was even more difficult. There were numerous "snap backs," frustrations, and tears. br>Bought these and they were a breeze to use, especially with a head light to see the "hooks. " br>The key is to place the band on the tool's very top. Place the band on the bottom brace hook (not "down" on the hook, but "up" from the bottom lip - see illustration). Move to the top brace hook (going top lip, down) and then to the bottom brace hook (going bottom lip, up). br>Updated on January 19, 2020- I gave these five stars before they started to break last week. They don't fully open or release anymore. I guess I'll have to start looking for a new brand; you get what you pay for, right?.
