Orthodontic Scaler

A sharp-tipped instrument used to remove cement or bonding material from around brackets and bands. May resemble a sickle scaler but shaped for interproximal or gingival access. Not for calculus—used in debonding and cement cleanup.

Scaler / Band Pusher: A dual-ended tool:

• Scaler end: scrapes excess cement around bands/brackets.
• Band pusher end: flat or rounded tip used to seat orthodontic bands firmly onto teeth.

Dual Scaler / Band Pusher

• Essentially the same as Scaler / Band Pusher, often used interchangeably.
• "Dual" just emphasizes that both functions are in one instrument.

Small Plugger / Picker

• Plugger end: small, flat tip used to press or adapt materials (e.g. separators, elastics).
• Picker end: pointed tip for picking up or placing small parts, like elastics or wire ends.
• Smaller tip size = more precision in tight areas.

Large Plugger / Picker

• Same functions as above, but with larger tip sizes.
• Used when more force or wider access is needed (e.g., molar areas or larger archwires).

Summary of Differences:

• Scaler = removes cement
• Band pusher = seats bands
• Plugger = presses/adapts materials
• Picker = manipulates small items
• Small vs. Large = precision vs. force/accessibility
