Pliers are fundamental instruments used in the dental clinic, and they can be used in simple everyday treatments or in more specific scenarios. Over the last few years, new models of pliers have emerged, created to adapt to current needs, such as the pliers used for invisible braces in orthodontics.
Aesthetic Invisalign Orthodontics:
Invisalign is a method of invisible orthodontics which aims to correct teeth alignment. It’s approach has become very popular amongst young people in recent years. This technique is carried out using invisible aligners on the 2 arches: lower and upper, instead of resorting to traditional metal brackets.
What is it for? Very simple! The aim of Invisalign is to achieve a perfect smile, where the teeth move gradually over a period of months until the desired final position is achieved. During treatment, a series of precautions must be taken into account to achieve the required results:
- Revision every few weeks
- Maintain proper and adequate oral hygiene.
- The aligners should be used 24 hours a day except for mealtimes and brushing teeth.
- Avoid Biting down on the invisible braces.
- Avoid placing the aligner in hot water.

As in a traditional orthodontic treatment with brackets, dental instruments are also necessary to carry out invisible orthodontic methods. And without a doubt, the most fundamental instrument is pliers. Pliers will help you to achieve the desired shape of the aligner with the objective of avoiding mistakes or errors in teeth alignment.
