Pin & Ligature (Cutter)

Pin and ligature cutters have long, fine, tapered tips. They slide under a stainless steel tie wire or a lock pin between brackets and cut it without catching the bracket wings or the archwire. The blades are delicate by design, which is why they are kept for ligatures and pins only.

This page lists our orthodontic cutters together with the pliers used in the same procedures. Order single instruments, or send a list for a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ligature cutter used for?
Cutting the stainless steel tie wires that hold an archwire in the bracket slot, and trimming lock pins.

Can I cut archwire with a ligature cutter?
No — it will damage the fine tips. Use a hard wire cutter or distal end cutter.
