This range of precision-crafted orthodontic instruments includes specialized pliers and cutters designed for various clinical tasks, from wire bending and cutting to bracket removal and clear aligner modification. Each tool is engineered for specific wire specifications to ensure accuracy and patient safety during treatment.
Specialized Pliers and Cutters
Light Wire Plier (EP-101): Used for accurate bending of different arches; applicable to round wire under 0.6mm or edgewise wire under $0.56 \times 0.71mm$.
Distal End Cutter I (EP-102): Designed to cut redundant wire without hurting the oral cavity; suitable for archwire under $0.56 \times 0.71mm$.
Heavy Wire Cutter (EP-105): Specifically used for cutting hard archwires and Niti wires with diameters less than 0.8mm.
Torque Bending Plier (EP-106): Used in pairs for making edgewise wire torque on wires less than $0.56 \times 0.71mm$.
Bracket Removing Plier (EP-113): Available in two types for taking down either anterior or molar teeth brackets.
Band Removing Plier (EP-114): Specialized for removing anterior and molar teeth bands.
Three Prong Wire Bending Plier (EP-116): Used for creating V-shapes in archwires with diameters less than 1mm.
Aligner Modification Tools
Hole Punch Plier (EP-123): Creates half-moon cutouts at the gingival margin of clear aligners for buttons or brackets and prevents tissue impingement.
Tear Drop Punch Plier (EP-124): Creates a notch at the gingival margin to hold elastics.
Vertical Notch Forming Plier (EP-125): Creates vertical notches to better control rotated teeth.
Horizontal Notch Forming Plier (EP-126): Creates horizontal notches to accent individual root torque and enhance aligner retention.
Auxiliary Instruments
How’s Plier (EP-109): Used for inserting archwire into buccal tubes or molding ligature arches.
Weingart Plier (EP-111): Helps avoid stabbing the mouth by safely inserting archwire into buccal tubes.
Mathieu Plier: A traditional locking plier for various orthodontic tasks.
Height Gauge: A precision tool for measuring bracket placement height.
Specialized Holders: Includes dedicated Buccal Tube Holders and Bracket Holders for secure handling during bonding.
