The Hole Punch Plier is used to cut half moon shaped at the gingival margin of the clear aligners. These half circles permit the addition of bonded buttons, bonded orthodontic tubes or brackets with associated hooks or as simply used to relieve impingement of plastic on soft tissue.
The Horizontal Aligner Plier creates a horizontal indentation for individual root torque. It also enhances retention of either clear aligners or retainers by placing an indent into a tooth’s under cut or below a bonded attachment.
The Vertical Aligner Plier creates a vertical indentation for individual tooth rotation. The Vertical can also be used to produce an indent to produce a mild “nudge” to enhance resolution of in and-out discrepancies.
Tear Drop plier cuts tear-shaped notch or hook at gingival margin of clear aligner. It provides a reservoir to hold the elastics in place as the aligner is seated. This permits easier manipulation of elastics by the patient.
