Clear Collection™ Instruments for Clear Aligners
How and why to use the Clear Collection Indenters
The Horizontal The Horizontal produces an indentation to accent individual root torque. It serves a second purpose by enhancing retention of clear aligners or retainers by placing an indent into a tooth's undercut. Enhance the contact of the aligner and attachment by placing an indent below a bonded attachment. 678-802
The Vertical The vertical produces an indentation to emphasize over-correction of rotations. It serves a second purpose creating a rotational couple by placing indents on opposing facial and lingual sides. Enhance resolution of in-and-out
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
discrepancies by placing an indent to provide a mild nudge. 678-801
Accent individual root torque by produc- ing an indent at the gingival margin on either the buccal or lingual for any tooth in the arch form.
The Spot creates a tiny rounded dimple for spot contacts to accent small individ- ual tooth movements.
Impress an indentation with The Vertical along the mesial or distal line angle of a tooth to enhance rotational control.
Increase clear aligner or retainer retentiveness by producing a horizontal indent into the undercut of specific teeth or just under an attachment.
The Spot’s small depression placed adjacent to the gingival embrasures can enhance the retentiveness of an aligner or retainer.
