The tips are rounded for patient comfort and safety and are often serrated for superior grip. Tungsten carbide tip inserts may also be an option.

How orthodontic pliers should be constructed from surgical grade stainless steel for strength, durability and corrosion resistance. They should also be fully autoclavable. It might be a good idea to keep a variety of How style pliers on hand as they may be used for multiple tasks.
