Dental Orthodontic Plier

Dental orthodontic pliers are specialized instruments used by orthodontists to manipulate wires, brackets, and bands, with designs varying by function, such as wire bending, bracket removal, band contouring, and loop forming. Common sizes are in the range of 12.0 cm to 14.0 cm (approximately 5 inches), but specific sizes vary for each type of plier. They are made of high-quality stainless steel, often with tungsten carbide (T/C) tips for durability and precise grip. Common Sizes
General Length
: Many common orthodontic pliers, such as the Jaraback or Adams plier, measure around 13.0 cm (approximately 5 inches) in length.
Specific Variations
: Some types have slightly different lengths; for example, a Wire Bending Plier might be 12.5 cm, while a curved lip-safe plier could be 14cm.
Materials and Features
Stainless Steel
: Orthodontic pliers are typically constructed from high-quality, durable stainless steel for corrosion resistance and autoclavability.
