Curved Orthodontic Utility Pliers for Archwire Placement
BusinessMed® 111 How Pliers, Curved is a curved orthodontic utility plier originally designed by Dr. Woodbury Storer How for archwire placement, archwire removal, auxiliary pin placement, and ligature wire manipulation in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
111 How Pliers Curved grasp and guide round archwires up to .020 inches and rectangular archwires up to .022 × .028 inches across maxillary and mandibular dental arches during archwire placement, archwire removal, auxiliary pin placement, and ligature wire manipulation.
Manufactured from high-tensile AISI 440A martensitic German stainless steel, the instrument undergoes precision milling and automated passivation to provide consistent mechanical performance. 111 How Pliers Curved is reusable and autoclavable, and is certified to international medical device quality standards. Each instrument includes a comprehensive lifetime warranty against material defects and fabrication flaws.
Beak Angulation and Joint Mechanism
The 45-degree angled beaks provide direct line-of-sight access into posterior interproximal spaces, letting clinicians guide archwires into molar buccal tubes without buccal mucosal impingement. Precision transverse serrations deliver positive frictional retention across high-tensile wires up to .022 × .028 inches, preventing wire twisting while protecting delicate bracket bonds from off-axis rotational strain.
Technical Specifications
Archwire Slot Tolerances and Torque Control
Standard edgewise and straight-wire appliance systems conventionally use .018 × .025 inch and .022 × .028 inch bracket slot dimensions. Controlled engagement prevents permanent beak deformation while maintaining the necessary seating force to fully express programmed tip and torque values within posterior segments.
Clinical Uses and Applications
- Maxillary Posterior Archwire Placement: Engaging .014″ to .020″ round and .016″ × .022″ to .022″ × .028″ rectangular wires for insertion into upper first and second molar buccal tubes.
- Mandibular Interproximal Wire Guidance: Navigating crowded bicuspid and molar brackets in restricted mandibular vestibules without traumatizing lip and cheek tissues.
- Auxiliary Pin Placement and Brass Stop Positioning: Grasping, stabilizing, and positioning auxiliary hook pins, stops, and elastic attachments along heavy base archwires.
- Ligature Wire Manipulation & Cinching: Grasping stainless steel ligature ties and cinching distal wire ends posterior to the terminal molar tube.
- Archwire Removal and Disengagement: Securely extracting fatigued or stepped archwires from bracket slots during routine orthodontic reactivation visits.
- Archwire Placement and Alignment: Seating archwires into malaligned anterior and premolar bracket slots during initial leveling and alignment phases.
