Band Slitter Pliers
The Band Slitter Pliers cleanly split used orthodontic bands to simplify removal at debonding or mid-treatment repositioning. A diamond-shaped groove in the working tip traps the band edge and guides it into diamond-honed cutting surfaces, which slice the band in a single squeeze without crushing the underlying tooth. Built on a box joint with passivated stainless-steel jaws, the plier delivers consistent slit geometry appointment after appointment. Latex-free, reusable, and fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic reprocessing.

Posterior Band Removing Pliers Long Handle
The Posterior Band Removing Pliers are designed for the controlled removal of orthodontic bands from posterior teeth. One jaw is fitted with a cushioned plastic tip that rests on the occlusal surface to protect the enamel, while the opposing beak engages the gingival margin of the band and lifts it away from the tooth without distortion. The long, tapered handle provides reach into the posterior segments of both arches, and the precision-milled joint and wear-resistant beak withstand repeated clinical use. Equate Instruments supplies this plier in autoclavable stainless steel, making it a dependable debanding instrument for orthodontists and orthodontic assistants at the end of active treatment.

Plastic Replacement Tips for Band Remover (5 pcs)
This pack contains five plastic replacement tips for orthodontic band removing pliers. Each tip is a small, non-marking polymer cap that press-fits onto the occlusal rest of a band remover so the metal jaw does not contact the opposing dentition while the band is lifted off the molar. Fresh tips restore a clean occlusal stop, protect the enamel, and give a predictable feel when walking the band off the tooth. Tips are intended to be replaced periodically as they compress and wear during repeated use. Parts are supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments so the clinic can process them through its standard disinfection or sterilisation workflow before chairside use.

Band Crimping Pliers
The Band Crimping Plier tightens the marginal fit of orthodontic molar bands after try-in by pressing a small inward crimp into the band wall. The stepped jaws lock onto the band in a controlled position so the crimp sits at a predictable height, improving band retention on short clinical crowns and reducing lift after cementation. Equate Instruments forges this plier from hardened stainless steel with polished plain round handles. It is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Posterior Band Remover Plier Long Handle
The Posterior Band Remover is an orthodontic plier engineered to lift and free cemented molar bands from the tooth without twisting the anchor unit. One arm terminates in a hardened metal tip that engages the occlusal edge of the band, while the opposite arm carries a soft plastic-tipped contact that rests on the buccal or lingual cusp without scoring the enamel. Squeezing the long handles drives the metal tip under the band's marginal ridge while the plastic cusp rest provides a fulcrum, releasing the cement seal in a controlled, atraumatic lift. The long-handle geometry gives access to the second molar region, and the stainless steel body is fully autoclavable. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Band Removing Pliers - Long Neck 12.5 cm
The Band Removing Pliers are a long-neck orthodontic pliers engineered to debond and lift orthodontic molar bands from the cemented tooth without damaging the enamel. One beak carries a replaceable high-heat-resistant stud that rests on the occlusal surface of the tooth, while the opposite beak hooks under the gingival edge of the band. Closing the handles translates the lever force into a clean upward lift, walking the band off the cement line. The long neck extends reach into the posterior arch and keeps the handles clear of the cheek and opposing arch during removal. The joint is a rivet-style pivot and the body is hardened stainless steel. The stud is supplied in interchangeable 4, 5, and 6 mm diameters. Equate Instruments supplies this pliers non-sterile, ultrasonically cleaned, and fully autoclavable.

Band Removing Pliers - Short Neck 12.5 cm
These Short-Neck Band Removing Pliers are orthodontic pliers designed for atraumatic removal of cemented posterior bands at the end of treatment or at band exchange. The short-neck head improves access in the posterior sextants where room is limited, while a replaceable heat-resistant Teflon stud seats on the occlusal surface and cushions the enamel as the opposing metal beak engages the band gingivally. A levered upward-downward action lifts the band off the tooth with minimal patient discomfort. The rivet-joint head, passivated stainless-steel construction, and contoured handles give predictable performance over repeat use at chairside. Replacement Teflon studs are available in 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm diameters.
