Fabrication of Modified Double-ended Distal End Bender from Discarded Instruments

In orthodontics, molar tubes are discarded once utilized, and in the general dental armamentarium, many double-ended angled instruments are used and subsequently discarded. Here, the authors have described a technique to fabricate a modified distal end bender from discarded instruments, which is cost-effective and easy to fabricate. With a rectangular slot, the double-ended instrument can be used for rectangular wire used early in a self-ligating system.
