Orthopli Corporation's most popular instrument sold is the Flush Distal end Cutter. Flush distal end cutters were originally patented, designed and manufactured by Orthopli Corporation. It permits the operator to cut and hold the excess arch wire flush to the buccal tube leaving no protrusions which will irritate the patient.
