What Are Hard Wire Cutters in Orthodontics?
Hard wire cutters are specialized dental instruments designed to cut rigid and high-tensile wires that standard wire cutters cannot handle. These tools are essential in orthodontics for working with ortho wire and stainless steel archwires.
Unlike regular cutters, orthodontic hard wire cutters use reinforced materials such as tungsten carbide, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and cutting efficiency.
