FAQs
What is a bird beak plier used for?
Forming loops, helices and bends in orthodontic archwire. The round beak sets the curve while the pyramid beak holds the wire, so one plier covers most routine bending.
How should the plier be cared for?
Clean and dry it fully before autoclaving, and keep the joint free of debris. Wire-bending pliers last longest when they are not used as cutters, which rounds the beaks and shortens their working life.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is made from hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
