13 Aligner Pliers, Mandibular

Controlled Handling for Mandibular Clear Aligner Workflows

The 13 Aligner Pliers, Mandibular is a dental hand instrument intended for handling and working with mandibular clear aligners. Its plier format supports controlled grasping and manipulation during aligner-related procedures, helping clinicians maintain a deliberate, organized workflow at the chairside or in a dental laboratory setting. As part of the clear aligner plier family, it provides a dedicated tool for tasks involving lower-arch appliances rather than relying on general-purpose instruments. Its focused design can support access, positioning, and precise manual control when working with mandibular aligners according to the clinician’s established technique and facility procedures.

Use Cases

• Handle and manipulate mandibular clear aligners during dental workflows.
• Support controlled positioning of lower-arch aligners during fitting or adjustment procedures.
• Provide a dedicated plier option for clear aligner work involving the mandibular arch.
• Use at the chairside or in a dental laboratory setting where manual aligner handling is required.

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument after use according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the plier surfaces and working mechanism before use for visible soil, damage, or impaired movement.
• Handle and store the instrument in a manner that protects its working surfaces from impact or contamination.
• Follow established facility procedures for reprocessing, storage, and safe dental-instrument handling.
