DETAILS AND CARE
A tweezer shaped specifically for placing molar buccal tubes. The tips are profiled to cradle the tube and hold it square to the tooth surface while the adhesive sets, which is fiddly with a general-purpose bracket tweezer.
- Tips profiled to cradle a molar buccal tube
- Holds the tube square to the tooth while adhesive sets
- Reverse-action grip holds position without constant hand pressure
- Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 hardened stainless steel, autoclavable
FAQs
Why use a dedicated buccal tube tweezer?
Buccal tubes are bulkier and sit further back than brackets. A tweezer profiled for the tube holds it square while you position it, which is difficult with a standard bracket tweezer at the back of the arch.
Can it be autoclaved between patients?
Yes. It is solid hardened stainless steel with no coatings or joints that trap debris, so it goes through a standard autoclave cycle with the rest of your bonding set.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, heat-treated for hardness and long service life, and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
Part of our orthodontic range alongside bracket placers, height gauges and the full wire-bending plier set.
