Bond removing orthodontic pliers, also called adhesive removing pliers or debonding pliers, feature a blade on one side with an occlusal pad on the other to remove adhesives and bonding agents. They also can be used for removing metal and aesthetic brackets. The tips may be stainless steel or feature tungsten carbide inserts for better gripping ability, and they can be angled for posterior access. Some adhesive removing pliers also feature a spring mechanism to improve durability. Bond removing orthodontic pliers should be made of surgical grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and be fully autoclavable.
