ABSTRACT:
A tool in the form of specially constructed pliers for removing orthodontic appliances which have been adhesively bonded to the lingual surfaces of the anterior and/or posterior teeth for orthodontic treatment. The tool is equipped with a spring-loaded pivoted catch having a tip which fits under the edge of the appliance to be removed, and a head having a depending post which is inserted between the base of the appliance and the surface of the tooth to which the appliance is bonded, and handles are provided respectively connected to the head and tip and which are pivotally coupled to a bracket to turn about respective spaced pivot axes, so that when the handles are squeezed together against a spring-bias the bonded appliance is stripped from the lingual surface of the tooth without any tendency to torque the tooth during the process.
