Used for holding articulating paper when checking occlusion of dental restorations and teeth. Holding the paper with an instrument rather than fingers assures better and complete coverage of the restoration or teeth to be verified.

The 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 clockwise rotation.

The Counter Clockwise and The Clockwise Wedge instruments are used to produce indents into the facial and the lingual plastic for the rotational movement of a specific tooth. After determining the type of rotation desired, either The Counter Clockwise or The Clockwise Wedge instrument is selected for the tooth you wish to move. The direction of rotation is determined by an occlusal view of the tooth The appropriate Wedge indent into the aligner is created with a gentle squeeze of the instrument on the labial, near the line angle of the tooth, adjacent to the facial embrasure. Then the same instrument is positioned on the lingual surface at the opposite line angle to create the rotational couple.
By positioning the “plunger” portion of the Counter Clockwise or Clockwise Wedge instrument inside the aligner, an “outie” reservoir is created. This can be filled with composite and cured to create a wedge attachment on the tooth to enhance tooth movement in a subsequent series of aligners. -

The Petite Punch cuts a 4.5mm half-moon cutout for relief of clear aligners around bonded buttons used for elastics and nips away plastic to provide soft tissue clearance to prevent aligner impingement of tissue.

The Petite Punch cuts a 4.5mm 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 be used to “nip away” plastic at the edge of aligners to provide relief from soft tissue impingement or irritation.
The Spot creates a tiny rounded dimple for spot contacts to accent small individual tooth movements or added retention.

The Spot creates a tiny rounded dimple for spot contacts to accent small individual tooth movements or added retention.
The Spot is typically used to accent movements on any tooth in the aligner that needs just a “nudge.”
The Spot’s small depression placed adjacent to the gingival embrasures can also enhance the retentiveness of an aligner or retainer.
Thin tips allow for easy access into molar and premolar bands.

-Direct bond bracket tweezers offer the practitioner a confident and more visible grasp when bringing the bracket to the patient's mouth, while the thinner back end of the instrument allows for an easy manipulation of the bracket's position by a simple flip of the instrument.
