The Ligature Director/Plugger LDP is a versatile double-ended orthodontic hand instrument used for specific tasks in dental procedures:
Combining Functions: The instrument combines a plugger and a ligature director on a #41 handle, providing two functions in one tool, which optimizes the workflow of an orthodontic practitioner.
Tucking Ligatures and Archwires: One end of the Ligature Director/Plugger is used for tucking ligatures and arch wires into place, ensuring that they are secured properly on the dental braces.
Seating Bands: The plugger end is specifically used for seating bands. Orthodontic bands are ring-like materials that go around the teeth as part of the braces structure, and this tool helps to position and secure them in place.
Guiding Ligatures: The director end is for guiding ligatures, which are small ties used in orthodontics to attach the archwire to the brackets on the teeth.
Design and Material: It is handcrafted from Immunity Steel, indicating a focus on durability and long-lasting performance. The ergonomic design of the instrument aims to provide maximum comfort and safety for both the dentist and the patient during orthodontic procedures.
The LDP is a fundamental instrument in orthodontics, enabling precise manipulation of the components involved in the application and maintenance of braces.
