The Torquing Plier With Key .018"/.022" 678-328-21 is an orthodontic instrument used to apply precise torque to archwires, typically for single tooth movement in orthodontic treatments. Here are its specific uses:

1. Torquing Stainless Steel Wires: It is designed for use with stainless steel wires and comes with a .018"/.022" key, which is used to adjust the pliers to the appropriate size for the wire being manipulated​​​​.

2. Control and Precision: The pliers are engineered to provide superior control and are described as strong, lightweight, and perfectly balanced, allowing for easy handling and precise torque application without causing distortion to adjacent sections of the archwire​​.

3. Specific Section Torque Application: These pliers are particularly useful for placing torque in specific sections of the archwire, which is essential for targeted tooth movement during orthodontic treatment​​.

The torquing pliers are essential for orthodontists who need to apply specific forces to teeth with precision, ensuring that the movement of each tooth is controlled and accurate as per the treatment plan.
