Adams Orthodontic PliersÂ
The Adams Orthodontic Pliers are a fundamental tool designed for precise wire bending, clasp forming, and intricate orthodontic appliance adjustments. Crafted for professional dental practitioners, these pliers offer high durability, reliable grip, and maximum control during delicate orthodontic procedures.
Orthodontic treatment requires specialized tools that deliver exact force without damaging delicate wire materials. These 125mm (5-inch) Adams pliers feature precision-machined, smooth, square-and-cone beak profiles ideal for forming sharp angles and smooth loops in dental wires up to 0.7mm in diameter. Made from medical-grade stainless steel with a specialized dull matte finish, they resist glare under bright operating room lighting while offering superior resistance to corrosion and repeated sterilization cycles.
