Also called band removing plier · Debonding Plier
One jaw carries a fulcrum tip that pries a cemented band upward off the tooth margin, rather than the two-jaw squeeze that grips a bonded bracket's wings.
A bracket remover plier, also cataloged as a debonding plier, is an orthodontic hand plier built on a lap joint rather than a box joint, so the two halves lie flat one against the other. The working tips are shaped to take a bracket from two sides; one common build carries a tungsten carbide insert on one tip and a flat pad on the opposite tip. On several patterns the tips are made reversible and replaceable, held by a small screw and changed with a supplied key. Straight and angled tip forms are both made, and the whole instrument is built to be autoclaved.

How it is built
- Lap-joint construction: the two halves lie flat against each other, not boxed through
- Working tips shaped to engage a bracket from two sides
- Tungsten carbide insert on one tip is a common build, with a flat pad opposite it
- Reversible and replaceable tips on several patterns, retained by a screw and changed with a key
- Made in straight and in angled/curved tip forms
- Stainless steel body, autoclavable; tungsten carbide is added at the tip, not through the body
- Long-handle, high-angle variants are listed for posterior access
PatternsStraight bracket remover plier, beak engages under the bracket wings/base, used mainly on anterior direct-bond brackets · Angulated bracket remover plier, angled working end for posterior/hard-to-reach bracket access · Short posterior band remover plier: shorter beak so the tip can bypass the occlusal pad · Long posterior band remover plier, offset tip/occlusal-pad alignment for molar band removal

This describes the bracket remover plier as an article. 4 other articles in this catalog share it: the sentence above is what separates this one. This describes the article. The steel, the finish and the inspection step are set by the line you order.
Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
