Slipper Bracket Tweezers
Our slipper bracket tweezers are a single bracket-handling tweezer for the bonding tray. The catalogue lists them as slipper tweezers. You use them to pick up a bracket, carry it to the tooth and seat it in the adhesive.
About the slipper pattern
The name refers to a tweezer pattern in the catalogue. However, the listing does not describe the tip in detail. So we suggest you study the product photo to see the shape. That way, you know how it will feel before it reaches your tray.
A second pattern for the tray
Many offices keep more than one tweezer pattern. For example, one pair might suit the front teeth, while another reaches the back of the arch more easily. Then you can switch as access changes, instead of forcing one tool to do everything.
Light hands, steady brackets
- Hold the tweezers close to the tips for control.
- Squeeze just enough to keep the bracket still.
- Brace a finger on a nearby tooth.
- Release slowly so the bracket stays put.
Debond and recement days
Tweezers are not only for the first bonding. Also use them to place a new bracket after a breakage, or to handle small parts at recement visits. In each case, a familiar grip makes the job faster.
Simple upkeep
Clean the tips soon after use, before paste hardens. Once dry, see whether both slipper tips still line up. If they start to cross, retire the pair, because a crossed tip can launch a bracket.
Out of the packet, the slipper pair is non-sterile; therefore, wash and sterilize it before every new patient. Intrace sets the specification, and a review by our people in the United States follows. Slipper tips are cut from stainless steel matching ASTM F899. If a production fault ever turns up, we offer three years against manufacturing defects as our assurance.
