{"product_id":"surgiworld-the-horizontal-clear-aligner-plier-rt452","title":"SurgiWorld – The Horizontal Clear Aligner Plier","description":"\u003ch4\u003eClinical Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Horizontal Clear Aligner Plier applies force with a side-to-side jaw motion, the counterpart to the up-and-down action of a Vertical plier. This lateral movement is used to accommodate interproximal reduction (IPR) already performed on the natural teeth, to accentuate root torque by placing a horizontal pressure point into the aligner, and to trim or smooth a rough aligner edge left after the tray has been cut to its final length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause IPR changes the space between adjacent teeth, the aligner sometimes needs a matching horizontal adjustment so it seats without excess pressure at that contact - this plier is what makes that adjustment chairside rather than requiring a new aligner to be fabricated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe jaw geometry is built for lateral, side-to-side pressure and edge work, distinct from the Vertical plier's point-pressure activation motion. Keeping both on the same tray means whichever direction of adjustment a case calls for is available without reaching for a general-purpose instrument not built for aligner plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurgiWorld stocks this plier alongside its full Clear Aligner Pliers range, covering the vertical, horizontal, tear drop, and hole punch jaw types a clear aligner practice needs for attachment seating, IPR accommodation, elastics hooks, and bracket or button clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant and rated for full autoclave sterilization without losing jaw alignment or cutting sharpness over repeated cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-to-side jaw motion presses or trims a lateral indentation into the aligner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccommodates interproximal reduction (IPR) space at adjacent tooth contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccentuates root torque with a horizontal pressure point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrims and smooths rough aligner edges for patient comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinct lateral motion from a Vertical plier - covers a different adjustment need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751069122874,"sku":"RT452","price":189.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/RT452_The-Horizontal.jpg?v=1792585437","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-the-horizontal-clear-aligner-plier-rt452","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
