Orthodontic & Dental Pliers | Mathieu, Wire | DDP Elite Skip to content

Pliers

Orthodontic and dental pliers, grouped by what they do to the wire or the appliance: form it, bend it, hold it, crimp it, cut it or remove it. The beaks are what make each plier different, so every pattern here is named for its beak shape or its inventor.

The range includes forming and bending pliers, utility pliers, band and crown pliers, elastic placing pliers and cotton pliers, alongside the cutters and removers used with them. Order individual pliers, or send us a list for a complete set quote.

Why So Many Beak Shapes?

A wire takes the shape of whatever it is bent around. A round beak makes a smooth curve or loop; a square or pyramidal beak makes a sharp angle; a three-prong beak puts a precise bend in a clasp. Using the wrong beak kinks or nicks the wire, weakening it or changing the force it delivers to the tooth. That is why orthodontists keep several pliers that look alike but are not interchangeable.

How to Choose

By wire. Light round wires take Bird Beak, Tweed and 107 pliers. Rectangular wires need Tweed arch bending pliers. Heavy and stainless wires need pliers rated for them.

By task. Place and remove archwires with Weingart or How pliers. Form loops with Tweed or loop-forming pliers. Adjust clasps with Adams or three-prong pliers.

Tips. Carbide tips and replaceable tips extend working life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a How plier used for?
Holding and placing archwires and ligatures, with round, serrated tips that grip without marking.

What is a three-prong plier?
A plier with two prongs on one beak and one on the other, used to put precise bends in clasps and heavier wire.

What is a Tweed loop forming plier?
A plier with a stepped, conical beak for forming loops of consistent size in archwires.
