Jarabak Plier

• Use: A specialized orthodontic tool designed for making precise bends and loops in orthodontic wires, particularly for space closure and maintaining arch form during treatment.

Features

1. Size:
   • Length: Typically 13–15 cm, providing adequate control and reach for detailed wire adjustments.
   • Jaws:
     • One jaw is flat and straight for bending wires.
     • The other jaw is curved and cylindrical for creating loops.
2. Material:
   • Made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and easy sterilization.
   • Some models may feature tungsten carbide inserts on the cutting edge for enhanced durability.
3. Design:
   • Curved Jaw: Allows for smooth, uniform loops in archwires without kinks.
   • Flat Jaw: Provides a stable surface for bending wires with precision.
   • Ergonomic handles for a comfortable grip and reduced hand strain during use.

Applications

• Wire Bending:
  • Ideal for making precise bends in wires used for space maintenance and tooth movement.
• Loop Formation:
  • Used to create T-loops, omega loops, and other wire configurations necessary for orthodontic treatments.
• Wire Compatibility:
  • Suitable for both rectangular and round wires (e.g., 0.016” x 0.022” or 0.018” wires).

Benefits

• Precision: Ensures uniform loops and bends for effective tooth movement.
• Versatility: Works well with various wire gauges and configurations.
• Durability: High-quality construction ensures long-term use without losing performance.
• Efficiency: Streamlines the process of making complex wire adjustments during orthodontic procedures.
