Vol. 14 – Number 54 – 2021 Digital Dentistry in Science Notebook Page 114-119 Activation of orthodontic aligners with pliers – an alternative to obtain the results Breno Minervini Sabbo¹ Jorge Ferreira Rodrigues¹ Ernesto Dutra Rodrigues¹ Mauricio Adriano de Olivério Accorsi¹ Evandro Furtado De Oliveira Junior¹ Abstract The great demand for aesthetics has led to the development of increasingly discreet orthodontic appliances. For this reason, treatments with orthodontic aligners have become a reality in daily practice and the understanding of their biomechanics and especially the resources to obtain the desired results is of fundamental importance. Therefore, this work aims to demonstrate how the activation of the aligners through orthodontic pliers can be performed in order to help complement the movement, especially when only a force exerted by the aligners is not sufficient for the desired tooth movement.
