Bending your own adams clasps can be extremely challenging & frustrating. If you want to save time (and money by avoiding distorted parts), our pre-formed adams clasps will help! We make them right here in our shop where we visually inspect and hand-pack them.
Our Pre-formed Modified Adams Retainer Clasps are very strong & resistant to breakage, and are made using medical grade, 3/4 (medium hard) spring temper stainless steel wire. We use this type of wire because it is not as soft as full hard wire, therefore it is more resilient.
Adams Clasps (also called Liverpool Clasps, Universal Clasps, or Modified Arrowhead Clasps) are the most commonly used retention component for removable appliances, and also the most versatile. They are used as bicuspid and molar components in creating orthodontic retainers.
We sell orthodontic straight wire here and this is a great YouTube video by Retainer Designer for those interested in bending their own wire.
