2 Aligner Pliers, Slot-Forming

Controlled Slot Formation for Clear Aligner Workflows

2 Aligner Pliers, Slot-Forming is a dental hand instrument designed for forming slots in clear aligners. Its focused configuration supports practitioners who need to create or adjust aligner features as part of a planned appliance workflow. The plier format provides a direct, hand-operated approach for positioning the working ends at the intended site while maintaining practical control during the task. Suitable for clear aligner applications, it helps integrate slot-forming work into routine dental procedures without introducing unnecessary instrument complexity. Use it where precise, localized modification of an aligner is required according to the clinician’s treatment plan and facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Form slots in clear aligners as part of a planned appliance adjustment.
• Position the plier working ends at the selected aligner site before applying controlled hand pressure.
• Support localized aligner modification during chairside or laboratory workflows.
• Use within a clear aligner instrument setup when a dedicated slot-forming function is required.

Care & Handling

• Clean the pliers after use according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the working ends and joint before use for visible residue, damage, or impaired movement.
• Handle the instrument carefully to preserve alignment and functional movement.
• Store in a clean, dry location where the pliers are protected from damage and contamination.
