A double-step Tweed arch forming plier. The stepped beaks place controlled bends along an archwire for arch shaping and torque adjustment in the Tweed technique, where a series of precise, repeatable bends matters more than raw force.

FAQs
What is this plier used for?
Forming and adjusting archwire shape, particularly the sequences of measured bends used in Tweed mechanics.
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.
