Ortho Step Plier, 1mm

The Ortho Step Plier, 1mm 678-342, has several applications in orthodontics:

1. Creating Steps in Wires: These pliers can create a right-hand or left-hand step-up or step-down at 1mm, which is a technique used to make precise bends in the archwires of dental braces​​.

2. Bayonet Bends: The double-sided offset beak of the pliers allows for bayonet bends on wires up to .022" x .025" (.56 mm x .64 mm). Bayonet bends are small z-shaped bends that can be used for detailed wire adjustments within braces​​​​.

3. Intra-oral Use: The design of the pliers permits them to be used intra-orally without the need to remove the archwire. This feature makes them quite valuable for quick and accurate archwire adjustments during orthodontic procedures​​.

These pliers are constructed with high-quality surgical grade stainless steel, which provides durability and resistance to corrosion, assuring longevity and reliability in dental practices​​.
