What are different types of orthodontic tools?
There are many types of orthodontic tools that can be used when connecting, removing or editing orthodontic accessories. The tools used in orthodontics are constructed from strong, high quality materials that allow the Orthodontist to perform fine procedures while still able to use great strength. More common orthodontic tools include pliers, cutters and measuring devices. Each of these tools exist different forms, each used for a very specific purpose. The tools that measure the gaps between the teeth and the distance to which the tooth needs to be moved - such as dividers, wedge rules and meters - can be used when the orthodontist determines how to move the patient's teeth around. These tools help the Orthodontist to determine the plan to repair the patient's teeth. Theortodontist can also use mirrors when connecting hardware, making it easier to see inside the patient's mouth. The germs are the most common orthodontic tool and can be used to bend the wires, occupySeasted belts and holding the end of the wire, among other things. The orthodontist will often use multiple tongs to adjust the patient's orthodontic hardware.
For bending wires, the orthodontist can use different types of pliers designed to create certain types of bends. There are pliers that can create a single angle, those that can help bend wire back on top of each other and those that can create more bending in the wire. In addition to pliers, there are also special tools for creating or twisting that can be used to adjust the hardware in the patient's mouth.
Some orthodontic tools are designed to remove hardware, dry as braces, from the patient's mouth. There are specially designed pliers that can remove the holders and stripes from the patient's teeth. Once they are no longer needed, different cutting tools can be used. Some tools are also designed to remove the adhesive that combines hardwaree with the patient's mouth.
In some orthodontic procedures, surgical orthodontic tools can also be used. Patients who use orthodontic implants will have to undergo less surgery, requires the use of cutting tools such as scalpels. Special tools can also be used to install orthodontic implants in the patient's jaw.
