4.5 mm
The Hole Punch The Hole Punch is used to create half-moon cutouts for relief of clear aligners around bonded buttons used for elastics. In addition, the Hole Punch can nip away plastic to provide soft tissue clearance to prevent aligner impingement of tissue. 678-803
The Spot The Spot creates a tiny, rounded dimple for spot contacts to accent small individual tooth movements or added aligner retention. It is 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 enhance the retentiveness of an aligner or retainer. 678-804
The Petite Punch 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 nip away plastic to provide soft tissue clearance to prevent aligner impingement of tissue. 678-805
The Hole Punch can relieve marginal plastic impingement or irritation of soft tissue anywhere along the aligners such as the incisive papilla.
The Spot creates a tiny rounded dimple for spot contacts to accent small individual tooth movements.
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 Hole Punch is positioned at the gingival margin with one-half of the 6 mm “circle” of the punch over the plastic of the aligner.
The Spot’s small depression placed adjacent to the gingival embrasures can enhance the retentiveness of an aligner or retainer.
The Petite Punch can be used to nip away plastic at the edge of aligners to provide relief from soft tissue impingement or irritation.
The half moon cutout can be placed on any tooth where bonded buttons or brackets are added for elastics or other biomechanics.
