The Quinelato Clear Aligner Horizontal Adjustment Pliers press an indentation that runs horizontally across the wall of a clear aligner, adding contact along the horizontal axis of the tooth. Placed in the gingival third of the facial or lingual wall, that indentation gives the tray somewhere to push from when root position needs help.
Key Features
Horizontally oriented tip — forms an indentation oriented across the aligner wall, following the horizontal axis of the crown.
Root torque support — contact placed in the gingival third loads the cervical portion of the crown, which is where torquing pressure has to be applied.
Retentive undercut — deepens the engagement between the tray and the crown contour so the aligner holds its seat.
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
Root torque expression. Horizontal indentations placed in the gingival area of the facial or lingual wall to add torquing pressure to the root.
Retention improvement. Reinforcing engagement on a tooth where the tray sits loosely against the crown surface.
Chairside refinement. Adding horizontal pressure mid-treatment to keep a tooth tracking to the planned sequence.
Root not following the plan?
The Quinelato Clear Aligner Horizontal Adjustment Pliers put a horizontal contact exactly where the torque has to come from.
