- Use: A specialized orthodontic tool designed for making precise bends and loops in orthodontic wires, particularly for space closure and maintaining arch form during treatment.
Features
- Size:
- Length: Typically 13–15 cm, providing adequate control and reach for detailed wire adjustments.
- Jaws:
- One jaw is flat and straight for bending wires.
- The other jaw is curved and cylindrical for creating loops.
- Material:
- Made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and easy sterilization.
- Some models may feature tungsten carbide inserts on the cutting edge for enhanced durability.
- Design:
- Curved Jaw: Allows for smooth, uniform loops in archwires without kinks.
- Flat Jaw: Provides a stable surface for bending wires with precision.
- Ergonomic handles for a comfortable grip and reduced hand strain during use.
Applications
- Wire Bending:
- Ideal for making precise bends in wires used for space maintenance and tooth movement.
- Loop Formation:
- Used to create T-loops, omega loops, and other wire configurations necessary for orthodontic treatments.
- Wire Compatibility:
- Suitable for both rectangular and round wires (e.g., 0.016” x 0.022” or 0.018” wires).
Benefits
- Precision: Ensures uniform loops and bends for effective tooth movement.
- Versatility: Works well with various wire gauges and configurations.
- Durability: High-quality construction ensures long-term use without losing performance.
- Efficiency: Streamlines the process of making complex wire adjustments during orthodontic procedures.
