FAQs
What is a Smaha instrument used for?
Tucking the cut ends of ligature wires safely behind the archwire so they do not irritate the lip or cheek between appointments.
Straight or curved?
Straight suits anterior and most routine work. A curved version reaches around the arch where the approach angle is tighter. Many practices keep both.
What material is this instrument made from?
Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel, and it withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
