Inventing innovative orthodontic pliers.
Not everyone has been offered the rare opportunity to gather a group of "expert consultants" in orthodontics with the stated purpose of re-designing the instruments that orthodontic practitioners live with and practice with every day of their professional lives. This is what I feel we are doing by the designing and manufacturing of these special pliers that incorporate the Simplicity-Innovation-Motion-Saving characteristics that are represented in these remarkable instruments. Few dentists can point to others in the profession and say silently, "Those orthodontic practitioners are using instruments to treat patients that I had a part in bringing into our profession." If the plans for introducing these pliers to fellow professionals come to full fruition over the next few years, it will bring a warm, personal sense of success to all of those who have involved themselves in planning and carrying out this intricate and worthwhile project.
