Q: If an orthodontist debonds the Pitts21 or Pitts21 PRO without the 533-0400 Orthodontic Debonding Instrumentwill the bracket be damaged?
It depends on what kind of debonding instrument they are using but generally, it will not damage the bracket. (applies only to metal brackets). This said we do not recommend re-using the bracket.
Q: Specifically, would the slot be damaged?
The slot should not be damaged. (applies only to metal brackets)
