The Morelli Crimpable Stops are stainless steel stops for rectangular orthodontic archwires. Crimped directly onto the wire with a plier, they are efficient for containing or limiting the movement of archwires and orthodontic accessories, as well as avoiding the discomfort caused by the displacement of the arch at the distal end of the tube.
Key Features
Indicated for rectangular archwires — the .022″ passage matches the flat cross section of rectangular arches.
Containment of arch and accessories — restrains or limits the travel of the archwire and of the components running along it.
Distal end comfort — avoids the irritation caused by displacement of the arch at the distal end of the buccal tube.
Crimpable fixation — secured by simple plier compression on the wire, with no soldering or bonding involved.
Stainless steel construction — holds the crimp under load and resists the moist intraoral environment.
Better adaptation — seats onto the wire with reduced effort, shortening chairside time.

Clinical Applications
Rectangular archwire mechanics — stabilizes the arch in the planned position during alignment, retraction and finishing stages.
Positioning of accessories — limits the travel of springs, hooks and other components along the wire.
Distal end control — prevents the archwire from displacing through the buccal tube and irritating the soft tissue.
Which archwire does this stop fit?
The choice is made by the cross section of the archwire in place, not by the size of the stop. This item (.022″) is the stop indicated for rectangular arches.
