Sklar Band Removing Pliers, 347 Posterior
A model 347 orthodontic pliers designed for posterior teeth, used to grip and lift an orthodontic band off a molar at debanding. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Band Removing Pliers is an orthodontic instrument, offered here as model 347 designed for posterior teeth, used to grip an orthodontic band and lift it free of the molar at the end of active treatment or when a band needs to be replaced. The jaw shape is built specifically for the posterior dental arch, where access is more limited than at the front of the mouth, allowing the orthodontist to engage the band edge and apply controlled leverage without catching soft tissue or damaging the underlying tooth.
This listing includes three model variants, giving the orthodontic practice a choice of jaw geometry suited to different band types or positions in the mouth. Removing a well cemented band requires firm, directed force, and having a pliers designed specifically for this task reduces the risk of applying uneven or excessive pressure with a general purpose instrument.
This pliers is a routine component of an orthodontic debanding kit, used at the completion of treatment, and is reprocessed between patients.
