The Orthodontist Toolbox – Celebrating Bird Beak Pliers

They say that a craftsman is only as good as his (or her) tools. If that is the case, then let’s celebrate one of the most common (and yet least praised) tools in the orthodontist’s toolbox. The bird break plier hardly gets any attention, but most orthodontists keep this versatile tool close at hand.

Bird Beak Pliers allow orthodontists to bend and shape wires on appliances. They’re the perfect tool for easy, clean cuts – when wires too long or threaten to irritate sensitive tissue in the mouth.

Another type of pliers also available: AKA Adams Plierr for square-jaw-opposite-round-jaw configuration. Ideal (in conjunction with finger pressure) for accomplishing 90% of all appliance wire adjustments.

Ideal for bending loops on labial arches. Highly polished for corrosion resistance and aesthetics. Autoclavable. Fully conformed to CE, ISO 9001,ISO 13485, and FDA. CE marked.
