Dental Photographic Mirror – Dental Photographic Mirrors – NES-1171

Child Palatal
Smaller mouth. Smaller arch. Same demand for a distortion-free image — that’s the entire design brief behind the NES-1171.
Pediatric dentistry has its own photography challenges that adult-sized equipment doesn’t solve well: less working space, shorter patience for procedures, and a palate and arch that a full-size adult mirror simply won’t seat against comfortably. The NES-1171 scales the palatal mirror down accordingly, keeping the same rhodium-coated, ghost-free reflective surface that makes photographic mirrors different from standard clinical mirrors, but in a footprint sized for pediatric and mixed-dentition patients.
Where this earns its place in the tray:
– Orthodontic records for younger patients starting treatment
– Pediatric case documentation and insurance/referral photography
– Teaching and training photos where patient comfort matters as much as image quality
– Practices treating a mixed adult/pediatric patient base needing both mirror sizes on hand
Surgical stainless steel construction means it withstands the same autoclave cycles as the rest of a practice’s diagnostic instrument tray without degrading the mirror surface — a detail that matters since coating quality is what separates a usable clinical photo from a hazy one.
At $30, the NES-1171 slots in as the pediatric counterpart to the NES-1170, and practices ordering both sizes together typically qualify for Next Edge Surgical’s 100-unit bulk discount.
