Orthodontic Ligature Ties Kit - 1040 Multi-Color Rubber Bands with Orthodontic Ligature Gun for Braces - Complete Tool Set for Dental Braces and Orthodontic Procedures

The tool is not hard to use at all not sure why people were saying that, comes with a lot of color choices! Worth the buy for sure :)

The media could not be loaded. I loved that the straps came in a variety of colors; I highly recommend them to family and friends. The applicator was a little difficult to use. I got it to work while also using my tweezers. 9 out of 10 points.

Bought this to fix a missing bracket band the dentists forgot to put back on after doing some work on one of my daughter’s teeth. I can’t stand calling the orthodontist office to get a bad band fixed only to be told see you in two weeks, or we only have one appointment spot open to do that and of course it’s during the most inconvenient hour of the day, like school pick up for your other kids. Bought this, it works, fixed the problem and no extra errands. There is a small learning curve to using it but you’ll figure everything out pretty quickly. The bands are slightly thinner/smaller than the ones used at our orthodontist, once they’re on you don’t really see much of them poking out over the metal. Don’t get me wrong they do the job and hold everything in place, but if your thought is I’m going to color coordinate band colors with my outfits, change colors all the time or something like unto that you might be a bit disappointed. Of course bracket sizes may differ from one office to the next, this was just our experience.

Help make braces fun. Change the look whenever you choose.

Only concern is that the hand tool isn't built with all that high quality and the prongs can easily get bent. Other than that, this could be a great tool to change/clean your bands.

Got it to change my bands and it’s pretty much the same as going into dental office

The orthodontic ligature ties kit comes with a great variety of colors, which is a nice feature if you're looking for options. The 1040 multi-color rubber bands work well and are exactly as expected. However, the handheld applicator feels cheaply made, and I had some trouble with it not being as sturdy as I’d hoped.The rest of the set seems fine, and the rubber bands hold up well during use. Overall, while the product works, the quality of the applicator could definitely be improved.

I got these to change myColors myself when I want to match my outfit I love it
