About Clear Aligner Pliers Set (5 Pcs)
The Clear Aligner Pliers Set is five hand pliers for adjusting thermoplastic aligners at the chair or in the laboratory. Two of the pliers cut openings in the aligner and three form indentations in it. Each is a different working-end pattern, not a different size of the same plier. The set comes with a stand to hold the five pliers.
What each plier does
- Teardrop: cuts a teardrop-shaped opening at the edge of the aligner, for an elastic connection.
- Hole-punch: removes a rounded area of aligner material, for example to give clearance around a bonded attachment or button.
- Horizontal: forms an elongated horizontal indentation in the aligner.
- Vertical: forms an elongated vertical indentation, the same kind of feature as the horizontal plier in the other orientation.
- Mini-dot: forms a small, round, localized indentation, a dimple rather than an elongated ridge.
The teardrop and hole-punch pliers remove material; the horizontal, vertical and mini-dot pliers reshape it without removing any.
Five pliers and a stand
The set contains five pliers, one of each pattern, plus one organizer stand. The stand is not counted as one of the five pieces. If you would prefer a cassette to the stand, ask for it in your quote request; it is supplied instead of the stand, not as well as it.
