TRU-STEEL™ ORTHODONTIC INSTRUMENTS

TRU-STEEL™ CARBIDECARBIDE INSERTED

HIGH QUALITY, RELIABLE INSTRUMENTS !Our newest instrument line.

TruSteel orthodontic instruments are one of our newest and most successful product introductions. As you probably know, it has become diffi cult to fi nd high quality, reliable instruments that hold up under the rigors of dry heat sterilization. Additionally, the diffi culties associated with repairing and resharpening instruments has cr eated a mentality that these expensiv e tools are essentially disposable.

We hope to reverse this trend by off ering instruments that are handcrafted by technicians with decades of exper ience in pro-ducing the highest quality orthodontic pliers. The full three-year manufacturer’s warranty covers any defect in materials, work-manship or per formance. Furthermore, these instruments car ry lifetime warranties against handle br eakage or tip separation from the body of the instrument*. Normal maintenance, such as tip resharpening or replacement following normal wear, is handled expertly and is generally completed within two weeks.
