The Vertical
O/No
678-801
Correcting rotations is often a challenge with aligners. The Vertical emphasises overcorrection of
rotations by producing an indentation at the mesial or distal line angles on the facial and/or lingual of
a specific tooth. As an option, a rotational couple can also be created using vertical indents on facial
and lingual surfaces on opposing sides of a tooth. The Vertical can also be used to produce an indent
to produce a mild “nudge” to enhance resolution of in-and-out discrepancies.
Impress an indentation with The Vertical
along the mesial or distal line angle of a
tooth to enhance rotational control.
The Horizontal
O/No
678-802
The Horizontal instrument produces an indentation to accent individual root
torque. It also serves a second purpose by enhancing retention of either
clear aligners or retainers by placing an indent into a tooth’s undercut or
below a bonded attachment.
Accent individual root torque by producing
an indent at the gingival margin on either
the buccal or lingual for any tooth in the
arch form.
Increase clear aligner or retainer
retentiveness by producing a horizontal
indent into the undercut of specific teeth
or just under an attachment.
