Hard Wire (Cutter)

Hard wire cutters are built to cut stainless steel and heavier orthodontic wire — the wire that dulls or chips the edge of a light cutter. The blades are harder, the joint is stronger and the handles give more leverage, so a clean cut takes one squeeze.

This page lists our orthodontic cutters together with the pliers used alongside them in wire work. For cutting behind the last molar, choose a distal end cutter with safety hold so the offcut is retained.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wire needs a hard wire cutter?
Stainless steel archwires, rectangular wire and heavier gauges. Light round wire can be cut with a light wire cutter.

Why did my wire cutter chip?
Usually because it was used on wire harder or heavier than it was rated for. Keep a hard wire cutter for heavy wire and a separate fine cutter for ligatures.
