ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic pliers especially useful for bending the alignment wire end during all phases of the Begg orthodontic technique. The pliers comprise a pair of pivoted jaw members from the ends of which integrally extend a male and female beak which are preferably formed at substantially right angles to their respective jaws. In a preferred embodiment, the male beak comprises a substantially cylindrical member that mates with the female beak which is comprised of a semi-tubular upstanding member having an inner arcuate surface to cooperate with the male member. The pliers enable quick and easy bending of the arch wire ends without deforming the main arch wire.
