General Contouring Plier

The General Contouring Plier 678-315 is designed for orthodontic purposes, specifically:

1. Contouring Stainless Steel Archwires: It is ideal for the general contouring of stainless steel archwires with dimensions up to .021" x .025" (.53 mm x .64 mm), allowing for precise adjustments to the wires used in braces​​.

2. Tapered and Serrated Design: The pliers are tapered and serrated, enhancing their ability to grip and contour archwires effectively. This design feature helps in providing ease of use during the contouring process​​​​.

3. Orthodontic Instrument Category: They fall under the category of instruments specifically used in orthodontic procedures, particularly in arch wire bending tasks​​.

These pliers are a staple in the orthodontic field for modifying the shape of archwires, which is a critical step in fitting and adjusting braces for dental alignment treatments.
