About Ribbon-Arch Bending Pliers
Rectangular archwire has to be bent without twisting or kinking it. Ribbon-arch pliers have broad, short, flat jaws that hold a length of wire firmly and evenly, so you can make bends and adjustments along the wire with control. The flat faces spread the grip over a wider area than a narrow-tipped plier.
How it is made
- Overall length 12.5 cm.
- Broad, short, flat jaws.
- Gold-coloured handle ends.
- TC (tungsten carbide) working end.
Choosing wire
If you plan to bend a particular wire, tell us its material and size and we confirm the plier suits it. For bending loops of set sizes, see our Kim loop-forming pliers.
Ordering
- Sold as one complete plier; a torquing key is not included.
- Evaluation samples of 1–3 pieces per pattern are available.
Care
Keep the flat jaw faces clean and smooth, since nicks will mark the wire, and check that they close evenly. Follow the supplied processing instructions and your facility's validated protocol.
