Where can I get that tool that orthodontists use to dent/shape invisaligns/retainers?

There's this tool.. that is like a modified tweezer that orthodontists use to create a bump in a retainer/invisalign. It allows the orthodontist to have more control on where extra pressure is desired. What is this tool called? Can I order it online somewhere?

I think its called Invisalign Detail Pliers, check this link, it has some pics:

I think when you are a dentist, these detailing pliers come with the Invisalign Kit when you finish the certification process but I could be wrong, I couldn't find them anywhere else, I would check eBay, there is always a lot of dental materials for sale. if you don't need this specific pliers, searching for Ortho pliers can bring you something very similar in function, check http://www.henryschein.com/ they are major retailers.

see if you recognize the tool you're looking for. I couldn't get the pics to show on my pc, but maybe it will work for yours.





my guess it's a form of plier like the birdbeak or mathieu, used for bending. or it could be a pair of cotton tweezers.





depending on what you need it for, as long as you're NOT doing your own modifying of your retainers...go to a hobby store and look at the jewelry making tools. there are wire benders/nippers there that are similar.
