The Ortho O-Ring Driver is a precision orthodontic instrument designed for the accurate placement and adjustment of elastomeric O-rings during fixed orthodontic treatment. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this instrument ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability.

Its high-precision angled tip allows easy access to posterior and hard-to-reach areas, enabling smooth and controlled placement of O-rings on brackets without distortion. The lightweight and well-balanced design, combined with an anti-slip, textured handle, provides excellent grip and reduces hand fatigue during prolonged procedures.

Ideal for routine orthodontic adjustments, the Ortho O-Ring Driver enhances efficiency while maintaining patient comfort and clinician control.
