Plugger/Ligature Picker, Double-Ended

One end of the instrument is a band pusher round 3.5mm / Ø 2.3mm, while the other end is a ligature picker​​. This design suggests that it serves a dual purpose in orthodontic procedures. However, I couldn't find detailed information on the specific uses of each end.

Typically, in orthodontics:

• A band pusher is used to seat molar bands properly onto a tooth.
• A ligature picker is often used to remove or place ligatures around the brackets.
