Production Of Superior Precision

The process is demanding and complex; as many as 30 different operations may be needed to produce a single Hu-Friedy Orthodontic instrument.

Orbit Formed Joint Process

Precision machined components combined with our exclusive orbit forming process create a smooth working hinge without shims, and keep instrument tips in proper alignment. With regular lubrication joints will work smoothly for years.

Comfort Areas

Instruments are designed and finished so that areas that routinely come in contact with soft tissue are smoothed to ensure maximum comfort for your patients.

Immunity Steel®

Hu-Friedy uses only high quality forged steel with an optimal blend of chromium and carbon combined with exclusive processing to create an instrument that will not corrode under proper use and care.

Satin Steel Finish

All Hu-Friedy Orthodontic instruments are 100% solid stainless steel and are hand finished to a satin luster. In addition to corrosion resistance this non-glare surface is easy to clean and will always look great.

Ergonomic Design

The size, shape, handle length, and weight are optimum for comfort and confidence. Longer handles for larger hands are available in some pliers.
