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.
