Laboratory Orthodontic Cutters are used for cutting hard wires used in orthodontic appliances. When choosing orthodontic cutters, be sure to consider composition, joint and handle construction, quality and ability of cutting tip and longevity. Most orthodontic cutters are made of stainless steel and may have varying finishes, including chrome, gold brazing and black oxide. The handle construction should be balanced in your hand and feel comfortable at any angle. Most orthodontic cutters either employ a box joint or a sliding joint. Many laboratory orthodontic cutters boast Tungsten Carbide or diamond honed cutting blades for cutting with ease through the hardest of wires. The vendor should also indicate the maximum size wire that the pliers are able to efficiently cut; this may vary from 0.2 mm – 1.5 mm.
