Orthodontic tool |
| abstract |
A band seating tool is disclosed. The tool comprises a pair of curved claws for applying force to opposed sides of an orthodontic band. At least one of the claws may be translationally and/or pivotally moveable, such that the separation distance between the claws can be adjusted. Each claw preferably comprises a notch-shaped engagement feature for engaging the band and applying force thereto. The notches may comprise catch ledges for engaging the edges of the band and guide surfaces for engaging the outer surface of the band. In preferred embodiments, the band seating tools according to the invention comprise a bite-receiving member, such that the force associated with a patient's bite can be used to seat the band. The tool may also comprise an elongated safety portion which extends between the claws to protect the patient from injury. |
