Clean, Controlled Cuts
The cutting edges meet precisely to shear the wire cleanly, reducing sharp ends that could irritate the cheek. Carbide inserts keep their edge far longer than plain steel, making the cutter a durable everyday instrument for bonding appointments and wire changes.
ZEPF Ortho Master Quality
