Orthodontic Aligner Pliers

Mini Dot Pliers. Creates a circular indentation for increased retention in retainer and aligner systems. Indent diameter of 1mm. The tip forms the force generating dimples without using heat.

Hole Punch Pliers - 6mm. Creates half-moon cutouts for relief of clear aligners around bonded buttons used for elastics. Nips away plastic to provide soft tissue clearance to prevent aligner impingement of tissue.

Tear Drop Pliers. Used to create a notch at the gingival margin of the aligner anywhere elastic hooks are required within the arch. Provides a reservoir holding elastics in place as the aligner is seated.

Horizontal Pliers. Produces an indentation to accent individual root torque. Enhances retention of either clear aligners or retainers by placing an indent into a tooth’s undercut or below a bonded attachment.

Vertical Pliers. Emphasizes over-correction of rotations by producing an indentation at the mesial or distal line angles on the facial and/or lingual of a specific tooth.
