Bird-Beak Pliers - Long Beak for Heavy Wires 12.5cm
The Long-Beak Bird-Beak Pliers (12.5cm) are purpose-built for bending heavier functional-appliance wires. A long square pyramidal upper beak and matched round conical lower beak give technicians extra reach into formed wire sections, and heat-treated steel tip inserts resist deformation on stiff wires over many bending cycles. Constructed on a rivet joint with passivated stainless-steel jaws, the plier is rated to cut hard wire up to 0.036in (0.92mm). Latex-free, reusable, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic reprocessing.

Bird-Beak Plier
The Bird-Beak Plier is a classic orthodontic wire-bending plier with one conical round beak and one flat pyramidal beak meeting at a fine tip. The asymmetric geometry bends round archwires and auxiliary springs into smooth loops, helices and V-bends up to 0.7 mm (0.028 inch), giving the clinician precise control over first-, second- and third-order bends. Long curved stainless-steel handles taper outward for a comfortable pen-style grip and close the beaks with minimal effort. The plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, this is an essential chairside tool for custom wire bending, finishing adjustments and auxiliary fabrication.

Bird-Beak Plier - Plain Tip, Tungsten Carbide
The Bird-Beak Plier with plain tungsten-carbide tip combines the classic conical-and-flat bending geometry with a smooth plain gripping surface that will not mark soft stainless-steel or NiTi wire. The tungsten-carbide insert adds wear resistance across repeated bending cycles, so the tip profile stays true to the maker's specification even under high use. Long curved stainless-steel handles taper outward for a pen-style grip and close the beaks with low effort. Plain-tip geometry is preferred when surface finish matters, for example on polished finishing wires. The plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, it suits clinicians focused on clean, unmarked wire work up to 0.7 mm (0.028 inch).

Bird-Beak Plier - Serrated Tip, Tungsten Carbide
The Bird-Beak Plier with serrated tungsten-carbide tip pairs the classic conical-and-flat bending geometry with a crosshatched gripping surface that locks firmly onto heavy archwires and auxiliary springs. The tungsten-carbide insert is rated for wires up to 1 mm (0.040 inch), handling the stiffer stainless-steel segments, lip bumpers and transpalatal arches used in advanced mechanics. Long curved stainless-steel handles taper outward for a pen-style grip and deliver the extra torque required on heavier wire. The plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, this is the go-to Bird-Beak for lab fabrication and heavy chairside bending work.

Bird-Beak Plier with Cutter - Tungsten Carbide
This Bird-Beak Plier with integrated cutter combines the classic conical-and-flat bending geometry with a tungsten-carbide wire cutter built into the beak shoulder. The clinician can bend a loop and clip the free end in one tool, rated for round archwires up to 0.51 mm (0.020 inch), which cuts down instrument swaps during chairside wire work. Long curved stainless-steel handles taper outward for a pen-style grip and keep the cutting action crisp. The plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, it suits clinicians who want a two-in-one wire bender for routine adjustments on light archwires.

Slim Bird-Beak Pliers - Tapered Beak 12.5 cm
The Slim Bird-Beak Pliers with tapered beak is a classic orthodontic utility plier used to form smooth loops, helixes, and torque in round and rectangular archwires. One beak is conical (round) and the opposing beak is flat and tapered, so the operator can bend the wire against the conical jaw to set a precise radius without flattening the wire cross-section. The slim beak profile reaches into tight interproximal and lingual spaces, the box-joint head gives rigid beak alignment under bending load, and the hardened tips tolerate repeated forming on wires up to .025" (0.64 mm). The contoured stainless-steel handles complete a tool that is a fixture on virtually every orthodontic tray from Equate Instruments.

Bird-Beak Pliers with Cutters - Tapered Beak 12.5 cm
The Bird-Beak Pliers with Cutters combines classic bird-beak wire forming with an integrated side cutter, so the operator can bend and trim orthodontic archwires in a single instrument. One beak is conical and the opposing beak is tapered and flat, delivering smooth loops, helixes, and torque in round and rectangular wires. The built-in cutter handles round wires from .012" to .016" (0.31-0.41 mm) and has a maximum rectangular capacity of .022" x .025" (0.56 x 0.64 mm), so chairside adjustments flow without switching tools. Hardened tips, a rigid box joint, passivated stainless-steel construction, and contoured handles make this Equate Instruments plier a versatile addition to the orthodontic tray.

Bird-Beak Pliers 12 cm
The Bird-Beak Pliers 12 cm is a classic orthodontic utility plier used to form smooth loops, helixes, and directional bends in round archwires. One beak is conical (round) and the opposing beak is flat and tapered to a point, letting the wire wrap around the conical jaw to set a precise loop radius without flattening the cross-section. The compact 12 cm length places the fulcrum close to the operator's fingers for controlled, high-resolution bending on wires up to .030" (0.76 mm). A pivot rivet joint provides a smooth action, hardened tips resist rounding, and the contoured stainless-steel handles keep this Equate Instruments plier comfortable for long wire-forming sessions.

Bird-Beak Pliers with Cutters 12 cm
The Bird-Beak Pliers with Cutters 12 cm combines classic bird-beak wire forming with an integrated side cutter in a compact 12 cm length. The conical beak lets wires wrap into smooth loops and helixes while the opposing tapered flat beak stabilizes the wire, and the built-in cutter notch trims rectangular archwires up to .022" x .025" (0.56 x 0.64 mm) without the operator swapping tools. The compact handle length places the fulcrum close to the fingers for precise bending control, the rivet joint delivers a smooth action, hardened tips resist wear, and the passivated stainless-steel body is fully autoclavable. A versatile chairside plier from Equate Instruments that consolidates forming and cutting into a single workflow step.

Heavy-Duty Serrated Bird-Beak Pliers
The Heavy-Duty Serrated Bird-Beak Pliers is a purpose-built bird-beak plier for functional appliance fabrication and heavy wire work. The conical beak carries a robust geometry for forming loops and helixes, while the opposing square tip is serrated to lock onto lab-gauge wires so they do not slip or rotate during bending. The cutter capacity is rated up to .036" (0.92 mm) for hard wires, the rivet joint delivers a controlled action under load, and the hardened tips maintain their edge through repeated heavy-duty cycles. Passivated stainless-steel build with contoured handles makes this Equate Instruments plier a reliable lab bench and chairside workhorse for retainer and functional appliance fabrication.

Wire Bending Plier with 1 Groove - 12.5 cm
The Wire Bending Plier with a single forming groove is an orthodontic chairside tool for precise bending of round archwire. One beak carries a V-shaped groove that captures the wire, while the opposing flat jaw applies controlled pressure for reproducible bends, small loops, and V-stops without scoring the wire surface. Machined from passivated stainless steel with a durable box joint hinge and smoothly contoured 12.5 cm handles, this plier from Equate Instruments is fully autoclavable and balanced for extended chairside use. Supplied non-sterile, ultrasonically cleaned, and latex-free, ready for standard in-clinic sterilisation.
