dental instrument designed specifically for cutting orthodontic ligatures. Ligatures are small elastic or wire ties used to secure archwires to orthodontic brackets, and the ligature cutter is used to safely and efficiently remove them during orthodontic procedures. The cutting edges of the instrument are sharp and durable, allowing for clean and efficient cutting of ligatures without causing damage to surrounding brackets or wires. The instrument is typically made from high-quality stainless steel or other dental-grade materials, ensuring its strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity.
