THE TEAR DROP
Clear Aligner Cutters
678-800 An instrument created to add a notch at the gingival margin of clear aligners anywhere elastic hooks are required within the arch. The Tear Drop provides a reservoir to hold the elastics in place as the aligner is seated. This permits easier manipulation of elastics by the patient.
The Tear Drop elastic hook can be used to hook-up elastics of all types from Class II, Class III, Delta, Class I intraarch, for connection to TADS, and to produce extrusive forces for specific teeth.
The Tear Drop is positioned at an angle to the force that will be applied to the clear aligner by the elastics and the depth of the reservoir cut can be adjusted to need.

The Tear Drop elastic hooks can be used in tandem with bonded attachments to direct eruption of teeth into aligners.

THE HOLE PUNCH
Clear Aligner Cutters
678-803 The Hole Punch is used to create 6 mm half-moon cutouts for relief of clear aligners around bonded buttons used for elastics. No need to attempt to attach buttons to plastic trays. In addition, the Hole Punch can nip away plastic to provide soft tissue clearance to prevent aligner impingement of tissue.
The Hole Punch can also be used to relieve marginal plastic impingement or irritation of soft tissue anywhere along the aligners such as the incisive papilla.
The Hole Punch is positioned at the gingival margin with one-half of the “circle” of the punch over the plastic of the aligner.
Watch the instructional video for this Instrument
The half moon cutout can be placed on any tooth where bonded buttons or brackets are added for elastics or other biomechanics.
5
THE PETITE PUNCH
Clear Aligner Cutters
678-805 The Petite Punch cuts a 4,5 mm half-moon cutout in an aligner for relief of the plastic around bonded buttons used for elastics. When only a small cut-out is required to provide clearance for buttons or hooks on the buccal but also on the lingual of any tooth in the aligner, especially for smaller teeth. The Petite Punch can also nip away plastic to provide soft tissue clearance to prevent aligner impingement of tissue.
The Petite Punch cuts a 4,5 mm half-moon cutout in an aligner for relief of the plastic around bonded buttons used for elastics.
The Petite Punch can also be used to “nip away” plastic at the edge of aligners to provide relief from soft tissue impingement or irritation.

THE BOOTSTRAP PUNCH
Clear Aligner Cutters
678-810 The Bootstrap Punch creates a cut-out along the gumline of clear aligners, providing a window for perfect placement of bonded buttons. Bootstrap mechanics with orthodontic elastics stretched over the aligner (from lingual to labial button) assist with directing lagging teeth to seat in the aligner trays. In addition, the Bootstrap Punch may be used to nip away plastic to provide relief from impingement of tissue.
The Bootstrap Punch is recommended for use on the labial and lingual sides of clear aligners’ mandibular and maxillary gumlines, assisting with directing lagging teeth to seat into the aligner trays from a lingual-to-labial button. In addition, Bootstrap Punch is used for placing buttons and nip away impinging plastic.

THE PRECISION ALIGNER PUNCH ™ INSTRUMENT
Clear Aligner Cutters
678-812 The Precision Aligner Punch™ Instrument creates a cut-out along the posterior buccal and lingual gumline of molars on clear aligners, providing a symmetrical window for precise placement of G2 Metal & Mini Precision Aligner Buttons®or smaller buttons. In addition, the Precision Aligner Punch can nip away plastic to provide relief from impingement of tissue.
Spring loaded long handle design auto-returns for comfortable handling and quick positioning
Fits G2 Metal & Mini Precision Aligner Buttons® with a large contoured design for a reliable bond on molars. Fits smaller buttons.

THE MULTI PUNCH
Clear Aligner Cutters
678-813 The Multi Punch creates a cut out on the tough to access occlusal aspect of clear aligners to account for bonded occlusal “turbos” when needing to open the bite for a difficult crossbite correction. In addition, The Multi Punch is an all-in-one punch instrument capable of punching buccal, lingual, and occlusal surfaces.
The Multi Punch is recommended for use on the posterior occlusal of clear aligners, providing a window for bonded occlusal turbos when needing to open the bite for difficult cross-bite correction. In addition, The Multi Punch can be used for buccal and lingual sides of clear aligners.

THE VERTICAL
Clear Aligner Indenters
678-801 Correcting rotations is often a challenge with aligners. The Vertical 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. As an option, a rotational couple can also be created using vertical indents on facial and lingual surfaces on opposing sides of a tooth. The Vertical can also be used to produce an indent to produce a mild “nudge” to enhance resolution of in-and-out discrepancies. It can also be used to apply an indent immediately next to an attachment to enhance the adaptation of the aligner to angle between that attachment and the aligner.

Impress an indentation with The Vertical along the mesial or distal line angle of a tooth to enhance rotational control.
10
THE HORIZONTAL
Clear Aligner Indenters
678-802 The Horizontal instrument produces an indentation to accent individual root torque. It also serves a second purpose by enhancing retention of either clear aligners or retainers by placing an indent into a tooth’s undercut or below a bonded attachment to enhance the contact of the aligner to that attachment.

Accent individual root torque by producing an indent at the gingival margin on either the buccal or lingual for any tooth in the arch form.
Increase clear aligner or retainer retentiveness by producing a horizontal indent into the undercut of specific teeth or just under an attachment.
11
THE SPOT
Clear Aligner Indenters
678-804 The Spot creates a tiny, rounded dimple for spot contacts to accent small individual tooth movements or added aligner retention. It is typically used to accent movements on any tooth that just needs a slight “nudge”. The Spot’s small depression placed adjacent to the gingival embrasures can also enhance the retentiveness of an aligner or retainer.

THE CLOCKWISE & COUNTER CLOCKWISE WEDGE
Clear Aligner Indenters
678-807 The Counter Clockwise Wedge is used to produce a wedge-shaped indent in an aligner at the facial and at the opposite line angle lingual for a specific tooth to create a rotational couple. Used to create a counter clockwise rotation.
Watch the instructional video for this Instrument
The Counter Clockwise Wedge is used to produce a wedge shaped indent into the line angle of the facial and on the opposite line angle of the lingual plastic for a specific tooth to create a rotational couple.

THE BITE PLANE
Clear Aligner Indenters
678-809 The Bite Plane creates an outdent along the lingual side of the maxillary anterior of clear aligners, providing a “bite turbo-like” effect with intrusive force on anterior teeth to help correct anterior deep bites and assist with closing posterior open bites.
The Bite Plane is recommended for use on the lingual side of a clear aligner’s anterior teeth, providing an intrusive force on those teeth to help correct anterior deep bites and assist in closing posterior open bites.
