Omni Pliers

THE OMNI PLIERS

As the name denotes, these one pair of pliersOmni Pliers insets all V-bends in NiTi archwires in four quadrants of mouth, that the two pairs of Bendistal Pliers used to do. Their new patented design allows placing the (intraoral V and the inverted V-Bends) on NiTi arch intra orally and extra orally.

HOW TO USE OMNI PLIERS

By moving gingival jaw from on side to the other between occlusal jaws, you can control the orientation of the V-bends in both archwires. To intrude anterior and posterior teeth in mandibular archwire, place the upper occlusal jaw ABOVE the tied wire in the canine areas, and gingival jaw UNDERNEATH the wire, and squeeze the jaws. To intrude anterior and posterior segments of teeth in maxillary dental arch, on both sides of the bend; position the Lower occlusal jaw of Omni pliers UNDERNEATH the tied archwire behind canine areas, and the gingival jaw ABOVE the wire, and squeeze the Jaws. This way result in the correct intrusion bends. The orientation of the the V-Bend tip MUST be pointed OCCLUSALLY ALWAYS for the intrusion purpose. inverting jaws locations in both arches result in extrusion.

Be sure when using Bendistal or Omni Pliers, that the resulting V-bends must always be in the vertical plane to the archwire. Any oblique positioning of the jaws to the archwires result in a wrong deflection of V-bend that will undesirably move teeth more buccally or lingually insread of vertically.
