The smooth tip is made to keep the patient comfortable while the wire is seated securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe smooth tip glides along the wire and slips under tie wings without catching on the bracket or scraping the soft tissue. It is used to guide a wire into the slot, tuck the end under the arch and seat an elastic tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a simple tool that nearly every orthodontic tray includes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWorking With Ligatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLigature wires and elastic ties are finished by making sure nothing sharp is left in the mouth. Tuck wire tails under the arch, away from the cheeks and lips, and run the tip along the bracket to check that elastic ties are fully seated under the wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the working tip after every patient. Dried elastomeric debris or cement on the tip makes it harder to feel the wire and bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ligature director is a small instrument, but it is used at nearly every adjustment visit. Keeping a few on the tray means one is always clean and ready while the others are being reprocessed, so chair time is not lost waiting for an instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel.

Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth tip for comfortable wire guiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor ligature wires and elastic ties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTucks wire ends away from the cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA basic tool on every orthodontic tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim for access in crowded arches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751017218362,"sku":"RT814","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/Ligature-Director.webp?v=1792584698","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-ligature-director-rt814","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
