111 How Pliers, Curved

110 How Pliers – Curved #111 (Orthodontic Instrument)

This curved orthodontic plier (#111) is designed for effectively placing, bending, and removing archwires, pins, and small auxiliary components in orthodontic treatment. With curved, serrated jaws and straight handles, it offers enhanced access in posterior or tight inter-arch spaces, while providing a secure grip and controlled manipulation.

Key Features

• Curved Beak Design
  The jaws are curved (often 45-degree or similar) to improve access behind molars, in tight interproximal areas, or around crowded teeth — enabling easier placement and removal of wires and pins.

• Serrated or Textured Jaws
  To securely grip wires, pins, or small orthodontic parts without slipping, the working surfaces are serrated or textured for positive control.

• Durable Stainless Steel Construction
  Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance, longevity, and compatibility with repeated sterilization cycles.

• Straight Handles with Balanced Profile
  The straight handle design allows direct alignment and consistent force application, enhancing accuracy in bending or removing small elements.

• Reusable & Autoclavable
  Built for repeated clinical use in orthodontic settings — supports standard sterilization protocols without loss of precision.

• Multipurpose Utility
  Beyond wires and pins, the plier can assist in smaller auxiliary manipulations such as loops, stop bends, or trimming tasks in orthodontic finishing stages.

Applications

• Bending and placing archwires in orthodontic treatments

• Removing or adjusting pins, stops, or small auxiliary components

• Working in tight posterior or interproximal areas where curved access is beneficial

• Use in both clinical and laboratory settings for wire forming and adjustment

Ideal For

• Orthodontists, dental assistants, and clinic staff performing wire placement and adjustments

• Dental practices where posterior access is challenging and a curved tool provides advantage

• Labs and technicians needing reliable wiring and pin removal tools

• Clinics that value durable, sterilizable instruments for repeated orthodontic use
