Three Prong Pliers – Aderer 3-Prong Wire Bending Pliers
$29.99
BusinessMed® Three Prong Pliers are Aderer-pattern three prong orthodontic pliers for bending and contouring archwires up to .030 in and clasp wires up to .036 in.
- Three-point beak geometry
- Radiused prong edges
- Smooth, spring-free handles
BusinessMed® Three Prong Pliers bend wire by three-point contact: a single tapered prong on one beak closes between two parallel prongs on the other, so the wire is pushed into a bend between them instead of being squeezed flat. The deeper the jaws close, the sharper the bend, which is why one 3 prong plier covers gentle contours as well as tight angles.
Key features of the three prong plier
- Radiused prong edges: rounded edges on the prongs bend the wire without scoring its surface.
- Heavier wire capacity: the clasp-wire range lets the same instrument work on removable-appliance clasps as well as archwires.
What are 3 prong pliers used for?
- Archwire and lingual arch adjustment: contouring archwires and lingual arches and adding step bends and offsets.
- Clasps and retainers: shaping and adjusting clasps and labial bows on Hawley retainers and other removable appliances.
