A Dental 4:1 Orthodontic Contra-Angle Kit is a specialized dental instrument used primarily in orthodontic procedures. It is designed to provide the necessary torque and precision when working with various orthodontic tools and attachments. The 4:1 ratio refers to the gear reduction mechanism, where the handpiece's rotational speed is reduced by a factor of 4, providing more torque for controlled movements. This makes the contra-angle kit ideal for procedures that require accuracy, such as working with brackets, wires, or orthodontic bands.
