Orthodontic Instruments

Band Seater and Ligature Tucker

Band Instruments

Overview

The band seater and ligature tucker combines two common orthodontic hand functions on one double-ended instrument: seating or adapting a band, and tucking ligature ends neatly against the archwire or bracket. Combination patterns of this type are widely used to reduce tray count during banding and ligation. Tip profiles on this AZ Instruments photograph should be matched to your preferred seating and tucking geometry when requesting a quotation; overall length and steel grade are not stated on the listing.

Primary uses

• Seating or adapting orthodontic bands with hand pressure
• Tucking metal or elastic ligature ends away from soft tissue

Key design features

• Double-ended combination of band-seating and ligature-tucking tips
• Angled shanks for posterior and anterior access
• Knurled handle sections for controlled finger pressure
