Adams pliers
Orthodontic wire bending pliers designed for precise 90-degree bends and clasp fabrication in removable appliance construction.
Key Features:
• Forged from surgical-grade stainless steel with passivated high-polish finish
• 13cm overall length provides balanced control for detailed wire forming tasks
• Dual flat-faced pyramidal beaks create accurate right-angle wire bends
• Symmetrical jaw geometry prevents wire twisting during clasp formation
• Maintains 0.7mm beak-face gap for controlled bend positioning
• Handles wire up to 0.022″ at the tip and 0.025″ near the beak base
• Box-joint hinge ensures stable jaw alignment during repeated bending cycles
• Fully autoclavable for routine orthodontic and laboratory sterilization procedures
Adams pliers
The Adams Pliers measure 130mm in overall length and are forged from surgical-grade stainless steel with a passivated, high-polish finish and no chrome plating, eliminating any surface layer peel risk during repeated sterilization. The jaw assembly features two smooth flat-faced pyramidal beaks; both geometrically identical, with a 0.7mm gap maintained between faces when closed. This symmetric dual-pyramid configuration is confirmed in the product image by both matching triangular jaw profiles, each marked with a square flat-tip indicator. The instrument bends wire up to 0.022 inches (0.56mm) at beak tip and up to 0.025 inches (0.64mm) toward the beak base, giving a graduated wire capacity across the jaw length.
The right-angle diagram below the jaw profiles confirms the instrument’s primary output: exact 90-degree flyback bends. Both flat faces grip opposite wire sides simultaneously during the bend stroke, preventing wire twist or lateral movement. The box-joint hinge provides smooth arm rotation under load, and the spring-action handle maintains open-jaw position between compressions. The Adams Plier Universal designation covers this same dual-pyramid geometry across broader orthodontic supply catalogs.
Orthodontists use the Adams Pliers when fabricating Adams clasps on 0.7mm and 0.8mm round stainless-steel wire, specifically during the critical 90-degree flyback bend step that forms the clasp arrowhead. The instrument also adjusts headgear facebows, palatal finger springs, and Z-spring wire on functional removable appliances.
Leader Surgical applies verified jaw-gap tolerances and beak-face parallelism standards to this instrument, meeting the demands of Orthodontics Dental Adam Plier clinical use where the 0.7mm inter-beak gap directly controls Adams clasp arrowhead geometry.
What wire sizes are compatible with these pliers?
While specifications vary by brand, most Adams Pliers are designed to handle wires ranging from 0.7 mm to 1.02 mm (0.040″). Some specialized models are optimized for lighter laboratory wires between 0.6 mm and 0.7 mm.
