DENTISTREE Ortho Adams Clasp Bending Plier 13.5 cm

The DENTISTREE Ortho Adams Clasp Bending Plier, commonly referred to as the Adams Plier, is a specialized orthodontic tool utilized in the fabrication and adjustment of Adams Clasps and other wire components. Manufactured according to stringent quality standards to guarantee reliability, durability, and resistance to corrosion, this instrument enables the practitioner to produce sharp, accurate bends in orthodontic wires—typically up to 0.7mm or 0.8mm in diameter—without causing damage.

Highlights:

• Fabricating Adams Clasps: It is specifically designed to create the sharp 90-degree angle bends needed to form the "arrowheads" (retentive loops) that engage the undercuts of teeth.
• Adjusting Appliances: It is used in the clinic to bend and activate Adams clasps, headgears, and facebows, allowing for tightening or loosening of removable appliances.
• Design Features: The plier features two rectangular beaks with smooth, flat sides and finely textured tips. This design ensures a secure grip on the wire, preventing slippage during, for instance, a 45-degree, "million-dollar" bend in the interdental area.
• Versatility: While designed for Adams clasps, the rectangular beaks make it suitable for various other wire-bending tasks in orthodontic clinics. 

The DENTISTREE Ortho Adams Clasp Bending plier is an essential, versatile tool for both chairside adjustment and laboratory fabrication of removable orthodontic appliances.
