The smooth-surfaced beaks form gentle curves in large wires without marking or scratching the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarks and nicks on an archwire can weaken it and increase friction in the bracket slot. Smooth beaks let you bend a large wire into an arch or add a gentle contour without leaving a mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHold the wire near the section you want to curve, roll it over the beak and check the shape against the arch form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCare and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrthodontic pliers should be used only for the job they are made for. Check that the tips meet evenly before each use, and do not use these pliers to cut wire, which will damage the working surfaces. Keep the box joint free of resin and cement, and put a drop of instrument lubricant on it before sterilization so the pliers keep opening and closing smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun a cloth or brush over serrations and grooves during cleaning, because debris trapped there reduces grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePliers stored loose in a drawer can knock their tips out of alignment. Keep them in a cassette or tray so the beaks are protected between uses and the instrument is ready when the next patient sits down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel.
