FAQs
When would I use the horizontal rather than vertical plier?
The orientation follows the movement you want to encourage. Horizontal features push across the tooth surface; vertical features act along it.
Can aligner pliers be autoclaved?
Yes. They go through a standard autoclave cycle with the rest of your orthodontic set. Dry them fully before storage to protect the joint.
What material is this instrument made from?
The plier body is made from hardened Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
