- Posterior set: 1 “in” bend & 1 “out” bend
- Atraumatic Elevators
- Just a small amount of penetration into the PDL space is all that is needed for maximum lateral tooth movement
- The more movement you can get with a dental elevator prior to the use of forceps, the less likely root tips will break off
- Double-pronged, diamond grip action allows for a stable two point contact between the crest of bone and the neck of the tooth
- With simple twisting, one point locks onto the bone, while the other point pushes the tooth laterally, causing bucco-lingual socket expansion and superior pre-forceps loosening
