The convex beak and concave beak work together to bend the metal inward or outward, adjusting the contour until it matches the tooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReshape in small increments and try the band or crown on regularly rather than making one large adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCare and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrthodontic pliers should be used only for the job they are made for. Check that the tips meet evenly before each use, and do not use these pliers to cut wire, which will damage the working surfaces. Keep the box joint free of resin and cement, and put a drop of instrument lubricant on it before sterilization so the pliers keep opening and closing smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun a cloth or brush over serrations and grooves during cleaning, because debris trapped there reduces grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePliers stored loose in a drawer can knock their tips out of alignment. Keep them in a cassette or tray so the beaks are protected between uses and the instrument is ready when the next patient sits down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel.

Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvex and concave beaks for contouring metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor stainless steel crowns and molar bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatches the band or crown to natural tooth anatomy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled, incremental shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751016661306,"sku":"RT264","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Crown-Band-Contouring.webp?v=1792584685","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-crown-band-contouring-rt264","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
