The Morelli Crimpable Mini Stops are stainless steel stops designed for round orthodontic archwires. They demarcate the midline or lock the round arch, mainly to avoid discomfort due to displacement of the arch at the distal end of the tube, limiting lateral movement without causing deformation of the wire.
Key Features
Indicated for round archwires — the .021″ / Ø0,54 mm passage matches the circular cross section of round arches.
Midline demarcation — provides a stable, visible reference point for the midline on the round arch.
Locks the arch without deformation — limits lateral movement of the wire while preserving its original geometry.
Distal end comfort — avoids the discomfort caused by displacement of the arch at the distal end of the tube.
Compatible with all techniques — used in all orthodontic techniques, including self-ligating brackets.
Crimpable fixation in stainless steel — secured by simple plier compression, with no soldering or bonding, and stable in the moist intraoral environment.

Clinical Applications
Midline demarcation — marks and preserves the midline reference on round archwires during alignment and leveling.
Locking of the round arch — restricts lateral sliding of the wire in conventional and self-ligating techniques.
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 (.021″ / Ø0,54 mm) is the stop indicated for round arches.
