The Morelli High-Heat Reverse Triangle Bite Stick is built on the same gray nylon body as the standard triangle model but is fitted with an inverted triangular stainless steel tip — the triangular working face is mounted in the reversed orientation, so the tip meets the band from the opposite direction. The handle resists occlusal pressure and steam autoclave sterilization at 121 °C (250 °F), which is what High-Heat denotes in this line.
Key Features
Inverted triangular tip — the triangular face is reversed relative to the standard triangle model; the indications are identical and the difference is purely geometric.
Same instrument, reversed geometry — orientation is the only difference from the standard unit, so material, handling, length and grip remain the same.
Stainless steel working tip — holds its shape against repeated bite loading without rounding off.
Gray nylon handle — impact-tolerant polymer that is not degraded by routine autoclave cycles.
Bite-driven seating — the band is driven home by the patient’s occlusion instead of by hand force.
Fully autoclavable — reprocessed by steam sterilization at 121 °C (250 °F) and returned to the instrument set.

Clinical Applications
Molar and premolar banding, seating the band with the patient’s bite during fixed appliance placement.
Operator-preference geometry, chosen when the reversed orientation gives easier access to the tooth being banded — the indications match the standard triangle exactly.
Instrument set coverage, kept alongside the standard triangle, round and square tips so the operator can switch shape without changing technique.
Why keep the reversed geometry on the tray?
It performs the same band seating from the opposite tip orientation. It complements the standard triangle rather than replacing it — the two are interchangeable in indication.
