Plier Arch Bending Bird Peak

The Plier Arch Bending Bird Beak 678-326 is a specialized orthodontic instrument used for manipulating and forming archwires in dental braces. Its specific uses include:

1. Bending Stainless Steel Wires: It is designed to bend a variety of smooth loops on stainless steel wires up to .022" x .025" (.56 mm x .64 mm), which are the typical dimensions for archwires used in orthodontics​​​​​​.

2. Forming Smooth Loops: The plier is used to form smooth loops in the archwires, which are necessary for the proper alignment and adjustment of braces during orthodontic treatment​​.

3. Durability and Grip: The Surtex® Bird Beak Plier variant is commonly used for the same purpose, with tungsten-carbide fused edges for maximum durability and specially designed grips for comfort and impeccable gripping, indicating the importance of precision and ease of use for such tools in dental practices​​.

These pliers are an essential part of the orthodontist's toolkit, allowing for precise adjustments to the braces that would not be possible by hand, thus ensuring the effective treatment of dental alignments.
