• Remove the foil cartridge (8) from the
device in lever position A by using the
handle to pull it forwards out of the
cartridge holder (9) and placing it on
• Bring the cartridge holder (9) into
a free table surface.
• Lower the cartridge holder (9) to
position B by means of the operat-
ing lever (6) and position the models
to be thermoformed on the model
support (7) into the slightly lowered
suction plates (18).
Tip:
The aligner models should not exceed
a max. height of 19 mm. The best
forming results can be achieved if you
align the models with the anterior teeth
towards the centre of the model sup-
port (7).
• Open the lid of the foil cartridge (8)
at the handle and insert the Biolon
foil into the bottom part with the
insulating layer facing downwards.
To safely fix the thermoforming foils,
retaining pins are installed in each
corner of the foil cartridge (8). The
