Falcon Beak Contouring Pliers

Description

Falcon Beak Contouring Pliers

Contouring work needs a plier you can steer around a curve. Our falcon beak contouring pliers carry the falcon beak name in the catalogue, and little else is stated. So we describe them with care and suggest you check the photo for the beak shape.

A Contouring Plier at Heart

Like other contouring pliers, this one helps shape the edge of a band or crown. Then the margin can follow the tooth more closely. As a result, the fit improves before you cement.

Reading the Photo

The product photo shows the beak form better than words can. Look at the tip shape and the angle of the head. That way, you can judge how it will reach the teeth you treat most.

When to Pick This Pattern

• Add it as a second contouring plier with a different beak.
• Choose it if falcon pattern tools suit your grip.
• Keep one as a spare when you fit bands or crowns often.

Light, Even Pressure

Contour in short passes and check after each one. Hard squeezes can crease thin metal. Instead, build the curve slowly, and try the band or crown between passes.

After Each Case

Wash the plier soon after use and dry the joint. Next, add a small drop of lubricant. Also look at the beaks, since a nick can mark band metal.

From Our Hands to Your Tray

It follows our specification, and one of our US inspectors approves it before release. Behind the stainless steel sits ASTM F899. On top, a buyer gets three years against manufacturing defects; tell us about a fault and we mend or replace the plier. It is non-sterile at arrival. Clean and sterilize it, and you can reuse it time after time. For a different contour, see the Reynolds contouring plier. Our full orthodontics section and our common questions page are worth a look.
