title: The bendistal pliers: a solution for distal end bending of superelastic wires.
abstract: These new pliers were designed specifically to work with the currently and widely used superelastic arch wires and bondable molar tubes. They place an effective distal end bend without the need for wire annealing or overtwisting that frequently results in fracture of bondable molar tubes.
