About Orthodontic Hook-Crimping Pliers
These orthodontic hook-crimping pliers have a slotted working head for a matched crimpable attachment. Confirm the slot and opposing-jaw dimensions against the attachment you intend to use. Use DIS-ORTHO-HOOK-CRIMP when requesting this dedicated crimping pattern.
A slotted head for a distinct task
The slot is the key feature to compare when selecting a hook-crimping plier. It accommodates the attachment-base profile for the intended crimping operation. This geometry differs from the broad gripping jaws of How utility pliers and the cutting edges of wire cutters.
The photographs show one instrument with recessed handles and gold-coloured handle ends. The gold colour is not evidence of a tungsten-carbide insert, and similar handle styling does not make two different jaw patterns interchangeable. The close-up and full views belong to one orderable plier, not several pieces in a kit.
Match the attachment, wire and jaw specification
Include the crimpable hook or other intended attachment reference in your enquiry, together with its base dimensions. Identify the archwire material and section as well as its dimensions. Those details allow the required slot fit and supplied-model compatibility to be specified; the product name alone does not establish universal fit.
Request the overall instrument length, working-head dimensions and slot dimensions when purchasing to a drawing or replacing an existing tool. Request the supplied-model wire-size and crimp-force limits. Hook, stop and post designs differ, so acceptance of one attachment should not be assumed to cover every other design.
Order unit and documentation
The listed unit is one complete hook-crimping plier. Hooks, archwires, stops, posts and storage accessories are not included. State SKU, number of pliers and delivery destination, and identify any required packaging or inspection records. If you also need a utility plier or a ligature cutter, request those as separate instruments.
Before professional dental use, obtain the instructions for the delivered model, including intended attachments, inspection, joint maintenance, cleaning and reprocessing. Confirm compatibility and operating limits for the supplied model; follow its instructions and your facility protocol for use and reprocessing.
