Contouring Orthodontic Pliers

Contouring orthodontic pliers are ideal for forming and contouring archwires, reshaping molar bands and enhancing crown form contours. They also are especially useful for placing accentuated curves in wires. Contouring orthodontic pliers may feature a grooved tip surface for precise gripping of specific size archwires or may be non-grooved for contouring of any wire at any position of the tip. The tips should provide a sure grip to prevent scoring of the wire while contouring and bending archwires. Whichever contouring orthodontic pliers chosen, they should be constructed of surgical grade stainless steel for strength, durability and corrosion resistance, and be autoclavable.
