THE HOLE PUNCH
678-803 The Hole Punch is used to create 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.

The half moon cutout can be placed on any tooth where bonded buttons or brackets are added for elastics or other biomechanics.
