Mathieu Ligating Pliers are orthodontic instruments that place and secure elastic ligatures around orthodontic brackets.
The Ortho-Plis Mathieu Ligating Plier is made of high-quality stainless steel and is designed to be durable and long-lasting. It has a narrow beak on one end and a serrated tip on the other. The beak is used to grip and place the elastic ligature around the orthodontic bracket, while the serrated tip is used to securely tighten and secure the ligature.
Ligatures are an essential component of orthodontic treatment as they help to hold the archwire in place, which applies pressure to the teeth to move them into the desired position. The Mathieu Ligating Plier is an important tool for orthodontists and dental professionals as it allows for accurate and efficient placement of the elastic ligatures, which is essential for effective orthodontic treatment.
