Optical plier with round and concave beaks for contouring and bending of archwires
Optical pliers are a specialized orthodontic instrument used for placing and removing archwire stops, crimping, and performing delicate wire adjustments where precision matters most. The Waldent Optical Pliers 10/117 are built for exactly this purpose — their fine, tapered working tips allow the clinician to engage small components and perform controlled bends without compromising wire integrity. The compact head design improves intraoral access, especially in posterior regions where visibility is limited. Trusted for everyday orthodontic workflows, these pliers combine clinical accuracy with the reliability expected from Waldent instruments.
