Contouring plier with concave and convex tips for contouring bands
The Waldent Orthodontic Johnson Contouring Pliers (10/116) are a specialized orthodontic instrument designed for contouring and adapting orthodontic bands to the natural anatomy of the tooth. The opposing convex-and-concave beak design creates smooth, uniform curvature, ensuring precise anatomical fit, improved retention, and better marginal adaptation. Compatible with molar and premolar bands of varying sizes, the plier is crafted from premium stainless steel with ergonomic spring-loaded handles for controlled single-hand operation. Fully autoclavable and genuinely Waldent.

Directions to Use
- Select the orthodontic band of the appropriate size for the target tooth.
- Hold the band firmly and position its surface between the convex and concave beaks of the plier.
- Apply gentle, controlled pressure on the handles to create a smooth curvature along the band.
- Reposition the band progressively and repeat the contouring motion to achieve uniform anatomical shape.
- Check the band’s fit on the tooth and refine the contour as needed for accurate adaptation.
- Once satisfied with the fit, proceed with cementation as per standard protocol.
- Clean, disinfect, and autoclave the plier after every use.
Caution: Avoid excessive force or over-contouring, as it may distort the band’s shape or compromise its retention and marginal fit.
