Komet's 9486 is a highly durable abrasive polisher purpose-built for removing, rounding, smoothing, and polishing plastics and acrylics - making it an essential tool for achieving a smooth, comfortable, patient-ready finish on retainers and other acrylic appliances. Whether you're finishing a clear retainer fresh off the 3D printer or refining a night guard, the 9486 delivers the precision and control needed for a flawless final result.
Especially useful in retainer post-processing, the 9486 efficiently removes leftover loose acrylic and "strings" left behind after 3D printing, ensuring retainers are smooth, comfortable, and free of rough edges that could irritate a patient's mouth. Its slim profile provides precise handling in the narrow, hard-to-reach areas common on retainers and other orthodontic appliances - helping you achieve a polished, professional finish every time.
The 9486 acrylic polisher can be used on the following:
- Retainers
- Dentures
- Bruxism, night guard, and splint appliances
NOTE: The 9486 acrylic polisher is an unmounted instrument and should be used with a 305 mandrel.
When working with acrylics, we recommend separating with our large, 987P serrated diamond disc and adjusting with our carbide cutters.
