The Quinelato Clear Aligner Dimple Pliers press a small, rounded depression into the wall of a clear aligner, turning a passive stretch of thermoplastic into an active contact point against the crown. The depression is placed by hand at the chair, which lets the clinician add pressure to a specific tooth on a tray the patient is already wearing.
Key Features
Rounded forming tip — forms a rounded depression in the aligner wall at the exact point the clinician selects.
Localized force expression — the dimple bears against the tooth surface and delivers pressure in the direction the depression faces.
Retention support — adds grip on short clinical crowns and flat axial surfaces that offer the tray little natural undercut to hold on to.
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
Retention enhancement. Dimples placed interproximally on the facial and lingual walls to help the tray stay fully seated on teeth with little crown height.
Rotation and minor tipping. Dimples placed on the mesial or distal aspect, on the side that drives the crown toward its planned position.
Chairside refinement. Adding pressure mid-treatment when a tooth is tracking behind the position called for at that stage.
