- Optimized for the precise, straight adjustments required for rectangular wires
Features:
- Purpose:
- Specifically designed for placing first, second, and third bends on rectangular orthodontic wires
- Smooth, straight-wide jaws:
- Working ends of the pliers feature smooth, wide, and straight jaws
- This design allows for the application of consistent and even force across the broad surface of rectangular archwires
- Minimizes the risk of scoring or marking the wire during bending
- Wire capacity:
- Rated for use on stainless steel wires up to 0.022" x 0.025" (0.56mm x 0.64mm), which are standard dimensions for rectangular archwires
- First, second, and third-order bends:
- Ideal instrument for applying precision bends to add torque or angulation to an archwire
- This is critical for achieving the specific movements required for orthodontic tooth positioning
- Versatile use:
- The straight and standard beak design makes the instrument suitable for working in both the anterior (front) and posterior (back) regions of the mouth
- Surgical-grade stainless steel:
- Made from a high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel
- Ensures durability and allows the instrument to withstand repeated sterilization in an autoclave or chemiclave
- Non-locking:
- Non-locking, which provides the clinician with tactile control and feedback over the wire manipulation
- Crucial for making the subtle, precise adjustments needed for archwire bending
- Size:
- 12cm/4-3/4"
