ABSTRACT:
A tool in the form of specially constructed plyers for removing orthodontic brackets and tubes which have been adhesively bonded to the labial, buccal or lingual surfaces of the anterior and/or posterior teeth for orthodontic treatment. The tool is equipped with a spring-loaded catch having a tip which fits under the edge of the bracket, and with a head which engages the top of the tooth, so that when the handles of the tool are squeezed together the bonded bracket is removed from the surface of the tooth without any tendency to torque the tooth during the process.
