Maxillary and Mandibular Tooth-Moving Thermopliers accomplish a variety of movements - incisal and root tipping, bodily movement and rotating of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. These pliers conform to the morphology of anterior teeth: a larger tip for maxillary and a smaller tip for the mandibular teeth.

The clinician controls the depth the thermoplier will travel into the plastic with the provided hex screw.

Maxillary pliers have a white ring on the handle.

Bite Plane Thermopliers create an instant bite plane in an Essix appliance chairside and without the use of acrylic. Simply have the patient bite on articulating paper and then apply thermopliers to the resulting mark to obtain the bite plane.

Large Circle Thermopliers are used to create a platform which the elastic hook is extended.

After using these pliers, the original bump will appear as the top layer of a tiered wedding cake, and the extension created will serve as a base layer.
