The Quinelato Clear Aligner Vertical Adjustment Pliers press an indentation that runs vertically down the wall of a clear aligner, placed at the mesial or distal line angle of the tooth. Working a line angle gives the tray a corner to push against, which is what a rotating tooth responds to.
Key Features
Vertically oriented tip — forms an indentation oriented up and down the aligner wall, along the long axis of the crown.
Rotation control — contact at the mesial or distal line angle pushes on the corner of the crown, driving it around its axis.
Seating support — vertical engagement helps the tray settle fully onto the crown rather than standing off it.
Surgical stainless steel build — corrosion resistant and autoclavable for repeated use in the clinical setting.
Ergonomic handle — shaped to give the clinician a steady grip and a controlled closure during chairside adjustment.

Clinical Applications
Rotational correction. Indentation placed at the mesial or distal line angle, on the side that turns the crown toward its planned position.
Seating support. Adding vertical engagement so the tray reaches full seat on a tooth that is standing proud of the aligner.
Chairside refinement. Reinforcing rotation mid-treatment when a tooth has not turned as far as the stage called for.
A tooth that will not turn?
The Quinelato Clear Aligner Vertical Adjustment Pliers place a vertical contact right on the line angle, where rotation is actually driven.
