Orthodontic assistants or orthodontists use these pliers to bend and pre-form stainless steel ligature wires and Kobayashi hooks.
The specialized stepped beaks allow the staff to rapidly shape uniform ties either directly at the chairside or in the sterilization/prep area before the patient is seated.
These pre-formed wires are then used to securely tie the active archwire into the bracket slots on the patient’s teeth.
