Band & Wire Pusher #300

The Band & Wire Pusher #300 BP300 is a dental tool with the following uses:

1. Placement of Bands: It is designed to aid in the placement of bands. These bands are typically metal rings placed around the teeth, which serve as anchors for braces in orthodontic treatments​​​​.

2. Burnishing of Bands: Apart from placement, the BP300 is also used for burnishing bands. Burnishing is a process of smoothing the band to ensure it fits snugly and comfortably against a tooth​​.

3. Precision and Comfort: The band pusher features a single-ended design, which can come with different handle types like #502 or #506, to provide precision and comfort to the dental practitioner during use​​​​.

4. Angulated Serrated Tip: Some models, like the Band Pusher 300 from Darby Dental Supply, have a precisely angulated serrated tip to ensure accurate placement of the bands​​.

This tool is essential for orthodontic practitioners to properly install and adjust the bands that are a crucial component of braces.
