Every minute in the chair counts. When the ligature already comes preformed, there’s no bending, no adjusting, no guessing — just identify, grab, and place. The .010″ Shorty Preformed Ligature is built for exactly that: cutting down handling time per patient without sacrificing the precision bracket bonding demands.
Why choose it
- Factory-preformed shape: each ligature holds a consistent curvature that makes visual identification and pickup with pliers faster, with no chairside time lost shaping it yourself.
- .010″ stainless steel gauge: the industry-standard thickness for precision work, with the strength needed to hold the archwire securely throughout treatment.
- Shorty style: a shorter profile for greater patient comfort and less soft-tissue irritation compared to standard-length ligatures.
- 500-piece box: built for high-volume offices — fewer reorders, fewer mid-week inventory interruptions.
- New, sealed packaging: clear traceability by reference number (SKU 0975-001-2) for inventory control and storeroom hygiene.
Who it’s for
Built for orthodontists, dental technicians, and clinics working with bracket systems compatible with .010″ preformed ligatures, looking to standardize the ligating step across a high patient volume.
Compatibility note: confirm that the .010″ gauge and Shorty style match your current bracket system before ordering, since preformed ligature sizing varies between bracket manufacturers.

Product FAQ
What bracket systems is this compatible with?
It’s designed for use with bracket systems that accept preformed ligatures in .010″ gauge. Confirm compatibility with your bracket supplier before ordering in bulk.
What’s the difference between “Shorty” and a standard preformed ligature?
The Shorty style has a shorter profile, which typically means less contact with soft tissue and greater patient comfort, especially in posterior areas.
Do these come sterile, or do I need to sterilize them before use?
The product ships new in factory-sealed packaging; follow your practice’s standard sterilization protocol before clinical use, as with any supply of this kind.
How long will 500 pieces last in a practice?
It depends on your patient volume and ligating frequency; the 500-piece format is built for high-flow offices that prefer to minimize frequent reorders.
Can I reorder using the reference number?
Yes — SKU 0975-001-2 identifies this exact reference (size, style, and material) so your future orders stay consistent.
