• Improve control in hard-to-reach areas like posterior segments

These tweezers are particularly useful during:

• Direct bonding of fixed orthodontic brackets

• Rebonding procedures

• Initial placement of brackets on preloaded trays

• Placement of attachments in aligner therapy (using bracket-compatible tweezers)
