Loop forming orthodontic pliers are designed to create loops in archwires. These pliers have specially designed tips to facilitate the creation of the loops in wires of different shapes, so be sure to have pliers designed to work with the wire you are using on a specific case. Usually fabricated from stainless steel, these pliers should be durable, autoclavable and ready to handle all your loop forming needs.
