Clinician’s Choice DualForce™ Ring Forceps

Q: Are there any tips for placement?

Approach the tooth with the expanded ring at a 45 o angle. Place the separating prongs as close as possible to the gingival crest and gently press down on the plastic to ensure that it is fully seated. The dual NiTi rings themselves should never be manipulated as this will cause the separating prongs to shift. DualForce Rings are designed to sit at a 20 o angle to allow for nesting of a second ring, to avoid a rubber dam clamp, and to clear an adjacent prominent cusp.
