Description
Morelli Straight Ball Tip Hooks are used for two purposes – to add an elastic hook on the nearby wire, when lacking on the bracket or to reactivate compressed open coil. The second purpose is more popular The coil is compressed and the hook is squeezed onto the archwire. The hook helps in handling and may be cut off or bent to the side after placement, if annoying to the patient. It is recommend using a Mathieu Plier or Weingart Plier; both have serrations on the tips to handle split hooks. Hooks fits all sizes of wires, round and rectangular up to 0.22 diameter Please pay attention, that utilizing the split hook for elastic attachment to the archwire could provide disappointing results because the hook could either move or fall off. If these are used for elastic attachment to the archwire, it is recommended to solder them first. LOT IS FOR 1 PACK OF 10 STRAIGHT HOOKS WITH BALL TIP
