A 13cm vertical notch thermal-forming plier for clear aligners. The tips press a vertical notch into the aligner material to add localised, directional pressure exactly where a tooth needs it — particularly useful for controlling rotated teeth — letting you fine-tune a tray chairside instead of ordering a refinement.

FAQs
Why adjust an aligner by hand?
A small pressure point can correct an under-expressing or rotated tooth immediately, avoiding the delay and cost of a refinement set.
What size is the working point?
2.07mm on the inside and 1.52mm on the outside, on a 13cm plier — sized to press a clean, consistent vertical notch into the aligner material.
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.
