The Morelli High-Heat Square Bite Stick carries a square-faced stainless steel tip on the same gray nylon handle used across the Morelli bite stick line. It brings an orthodontic band to place under the patient’s own bite, and the High-Heat name points to the handle rating for steam autoclave sterilization at 121 °C (250 °F).
Key Features
Square working face — a flat four-sided contact area that sits squarely on the band margin and spreads the load across it.
Stainless steel tip — dimensionally stable under repeated occlusal pressure and unaffected by routine disinfectants.
Gray nylon handle — specified by Morelli for bite resistance and for surviving sterilization temperatures intact.
Bite-driven placement — the force comes from the patient’s occlusion, which is steadier than hand pressure on distal units.
Autoclave rated to 121 °C (250 °F) — reprocessed as a single piece, with no disassembly step.
Interchangeable with the other tip shapes — square, round, triangular and inverted triangular are indicated for the same procedure; the operator selects on access alone.

Clinical Applications
Molar banding, seating the band to its full depth while the patient closes on the instrument.
Size confirmation during try-in, verifying that the selected band goes completely to place before any cement is loaded.
Seating through cement, taking the band home in the short working window after the cement is applied.
Why keep more than one tip shape?
Because the band margin is not equally reachable on every tooth. All four Morelli bite sticks perform the same seating; the flat square face is simply one more approach angle available on the tray.
