Description
Orthodontic Aligner Horizontal Pliers by Aksim
Precision Root Torque and Retention Enhancement for Clear Aligner Therapy
The Orthodontic Aligner Horizontal Pliers by Aksim are specially engineered instruments designed to deliver precise root torque and enhance aligner or retainer retention through controlled horizontal indentations. These pliers are essential for orthodontists seeking predictable tooth movement and improved aligner tracking during advanced clear aligner treatments.
Aligner therapy often requires fine adjustments to ensure proper root positioning and stable aligner fit. Horizontal Pliers provide a simple yet effective chairside solution, enabling clinicians to create targeted indentations that generate the necessary force systems without altering the aligner’s overall design.

Controlled Horizontal Indentations for Individual Root Torque
The primary function of the Aksim Horizontal Pliers is to create horizontal indentations at specific tooth locations. These indentations help accentuate individual root torque, improving the expression of planned tooth movements. This is particularly useful for:
Refining root angulations
Correcting rotations and torque discrepancies
Enhancing the finishing stages of aligner therapy
By precisely indenting the aligner material, the pliers allow controlled force application, which improves treatment predictability and ensures more accurate clinical outcomes.
Enhanced Retention for Aligners and Retainers
In addition to torque adjustments, these pliers are highly effective in enhancing aligner retention. By placing indentations:
The aligner or retainer achieves superior mechanical engagement. This reduces aligner lift and movement, ensuring that the programmed tooth movements are delivered efficiently, improving overall treatment effectiveness and patient compliance.

Ergonomic and Material Advantages
Manufactured from premium J2 stainless steel, the Aksim Horizontal Pliers offer long-lasting durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with repeated sterilization. The pliers feature:
Dull finish to minimize glare under operatory lighting
Ergonomically designed handles for precise control and reduced hand fatigue
Smooth, finely contoured tips for consistent and repeatable indentations
These features ensure that orthodontists can work efficiently and comfortably during detailed finishing procedures.
Chairside Efficiency Without Re-Fabrication
A significant advantage of the Aksim Horizontal Pliers is the ability to modify aligners chairside:
No heat or auxiliary tools required
Immediate adjustment of aligners or retainers
Eliminates the need for new aligner fabrication
This streamlines workflow, reduces treatment delays, and ensures that corrective measures are applied precisely when needed.
