The Quinelato Clear Aligner Trimming Pliers cut and finish the margin of a clear aligner, reshaping the border that runs along the gingiva. The aligner edge is the part that contacts soft tissue all day, and it is the part a patient notices first when it is wrong.
Key Features
Precision cutting edges — remove excess thermoplastic at the aligner border in clean, controlled increments.
Margin finishing — reshape the border that rests against the gingiva so it follows the contour intended for that arch.
Soft tissue relief — shorten an edge that impinges on the marginal gingiva and irritates the tissue.
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.

Is the tray edge cutting into the gum?
