Tecnident Stainless Steel Kobayashi Shorty Ties .012″ are stainless steel ligature ties with twisted ends forming a hook, used for combined moorings and other dental fixations. At .012″ this is the finer of the two gauges, easier to twist and seat, and the shorty format keeps the hook close to the bracket for a lower profile.

.012″ or .014″?
Both give you a ligature and an elastic hook in one piece. The .012″ is the finer gauge — quicker to twist, kinder to the tissue and the usual choice when the tie is mainly for ligation. Step up to .014″ when the hook has to hold heavier elastic traction.
