Niti Three Jaw Pliers
Three-point orthodontic bending pliers designed for controlled contouring and adjustment of NiTi archwires without kinking or work-hardening.
Key Features:
• Forged from surgical-grade stainless steel with corrosion-resistant satin finish
• Three-jaw asymmetric design creates controlled fulcrum-based wire bending
• Accommodates NiTi archwires up to 0.020″ (0.51 mm) diameter
• Central grooved serrated ridge prevents wire slippage during bending
• Maintains wire cross-section integrity without flattening or fracture
• Circular box-joint pivot ensures precise multi-point jaw alignment
• Compatible with superelastic and heat-activated NiTi wire formulations
• Fully autoclavable at 132–135°C without ridge wear or pivot misalignment
Niti Three Jaw Pliers
Three-point contact changes everything about how wire behaves under bending force, and that principle sits at the core of the NiTi Three Jaw Pliers (Article# LS8-128). Forged from surgical-grade stainless steel with a satin body finish, the instrument carries an asymmetric jaw configuration: one beak holds two outer contact ridges while the opposing beak carries a single central ridge that seats between them. This three-point geometry creates a controlled fulcrum that bends nickel-titanium archwire up to .020″ (0.51mm) without kinking, fracturing, or work-hardening the wire at the contact zone.
The single-central-ridge beak face features a grooved serrated gripping surface that locks onto the wire during closure, preventing lateral slip across the bending arc. The broad circular box-joint pivot maintains consistent jaw alignment through repeated closures, keeping the three contact points in registered opposition at every use. The X7 NiTi Three Jaw Plier body withstands full autoclave sterilization at 132–135°C across extended clinical service without ridge wear, corrosion, or pivot misalignment, and the instrument is compatible with both superelastic and heat-activated NiTi wire formulations.
Orthodontists use the NiTi Three Jaw Pliers during fixed orthodontic appliance therapy to contour, form, and adjust NiTi archwires both intraorally and at the bench. The clinician positions the three-jaw tip over the target wire segment, selects the bend location by shifting jaw placement along the wire axis, and applies a single controlled squeeze. The resulting bend follows the fulcrum arc without flattening the wire cross-section. The instrument forms artistic bends, arch contouring adjustments, and step bends on NiTi archwires across all treatment stages from initial leveling to finishing.
What separates a dependable NiTi instrument from a damaging one is tip geometry, and Leader Surgical gets that distinction right with the NiTi Three Jaw Pliers 678-322, delivering three-point wire control that contours NiTi archwires accurately without compromising their superelastic properties in the process.
What is the maximum wire size these pliers can handle?
Most NiTi Three Jaw Pliers are specifically designed for wires up to 0.020″ (0.51 mm).
