Detailing Step Pliers 3/4 mm (TC)
The Detailing Step Pliers 3/4 mm (TC) are orthodontic wire-bending pliers engineered to place a precise 0.75 mm vertical step offset in rectangular archwire during finishing and detailing. Tungsten carbide inserts in the working tips grip the wire without slipping so the operator can impart a consistent step in one motion, correcting larger vertical discrepancies between adjacent teeth at the end of treatment. The step geometry seats the wire exactly where it needs to sit relative to the bracket slot. Slim stainless-steel handles follow the orthodontic plier profile for close access in the posterior segments, and the box-joint pivot keeps the jaws aligned under cyclic loading. The pliers are fully autoclavable and are supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments for standard in-clinic processing.

Dela Rosa Arch Forming Pliers with Groove 0.41/0.46/0.56 mm (.016″/.018″/.022″ Wire)
The Dela Rosa Arch Forming Pliers are designed for shaping round orthodontic archwires to the dental arch form. Three graduated grooves on one jaw, sized for 0.41 mm (.016″), 0.46 mm (.018″), and 0.56 mm (.022″) round wires, seat the wire without kinking while the opposing flat jaw bends the curve. Working the wire progressively through the grooves develops a smooth, symmetrical arch that matches the patient's intended form. Equate Instruments finishes the plier in forged stainless steel with a slim, well-balanced profile and a smooth box-joint for long-term precision. The instrument is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile so the clinic can process it through its normal sterilisation cycle.

Tweed Loop Forming Pliers 0.55 x 0.64 mm (.021″ x .025″ Wire)
Tweed Loop Forming Pliers are an orthodontic bending plier designed to form helical and bull-horn closing loops in rectangular archwire up to 0.55 x 0.64 mm (.021″ x .025″). One jaw carries a cylindrical forming post around which the wire is wrapped to set the loop diameter; the opposing jaw grips the wire firmly so it follows the post without springing back. Working the wire in successive passes creates clean, repeatable loops for space closure and vertical control. The plier body is forged stainless steel and delivered by Equate Instruments as a corrosion-resistant, fully autoclavable tool. The smooth box-joint pivot, fine tip alignment, and balanced handle shape suit extended wire-bending sessions in the orthodontic laboratory or chairside.

Ribbon/Tweed Arch Forming Pliers - Long
The Ribbon/Tweed Arch Forming Pliers in the long configuration are built for shaping ribbon and Tweed-style rectangular orthodontic archwires to the patient arch form. A flat, wide upper jaw meets a complementary platform on the lower jaw so the wire lies fully supported across its cross-section as the bend is placed. This geometry produces smooth, symmetric curves without rolling or twisting the wire. From Equate Instruments, the plier is forged stainless steel with a smooth box-joint pivot and balanced tapered handles. The body is corrosion resistant and fully autoclavable, and the long-reach design suits laboratory wire work as well as chairside adjustments. Supplied non-sterile for standard in-clinic sterilisation.

Long Beak Light Wire Plier - 0.51 mm / .020 in Wire
The Long Beak Light Wire Plier is an orthodontic wire-forming plier with tapered needle-nose beaks for precise bends on round archwires and accessory wires up to 0.51 mm (0.020 in). One beak is conical and the opposing beak is flat-tipped, allowing stepped bends, loops, and first-order wire adjustments in finishing and detailing work. The plier is machined from stainless steel and features a satin finish for low glare at the chair. Equate Instruments supplies the plier non-sterile and fully autoclavable for reuse across orthodontic adjustment and finishing appointments.

Angle Wire Bending Plier - Max 0.7 mm, 12.5 cm
The Angle Wire Bending Plier is a 12.5 cm stainless-steel plier with pointed angled beaks designed to place sharp, controlled bends in orthodontic wire up to 0.7 mm in diameter. The short compact body gives fine tactile control for chairside wire adjustments and band seating during fixed-appliance treatment. Machined from stainless steel with a satin finish, this plier from Equate Instruments is supplied non-sterile and fully autoclavable for daily use. It suits orthodontists and orthodontic assistants who need a precise angle plier within a mixed wire-bending kit.

Rectangular Arch Forming Plier - Max 0.7mm (.028") Wire
The Rectangular Arch Forming Plier is a Tweed-style wire bender for shaping rectangular archwires to custom arch form and for placing controlled first-, second-, and third-order bends. The flat, parallel beak faces clamp the wire without torsion so the bend falls exactly where the operator intends, and the beak width is dimensioned for crisp 90-degree bends in rectangular cross-section wire up to 0.7 mm (.028 inch). A tapered stainless-steel body with wishbone spring handles returns smoothly between bends, and the satin surface finish cuts glare on the light-blue operatory field. This Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for standard cassette processing, ready to drop into a wire-bending kit or individual chairside setup.

Slim Rectangular Arch Forming Pliers 1.3mm Blade - Max 0.7mm (.028") Wire
The Slim Rectangular Arch Forming Plier is a Tweed-style wire bender with a narrowed 1.3 mm blade face, engineered for tighter bend radii and more precise localisation of first-, second-, and third-order bends in rectangular archwires. Compared to a standard-width arch forming plier it places bends in a smaller footprint on the wire, which helps when loops or stops need to fit close to brackets or between closely spaced molar tubes, while still clamping rectangular wire up to 0.7 mm (.028 inch) without torsion. A tapered stainless-steel body with wishbone spring handles returns smoothly between bends, and the satin surface finish reduces operatory-light glare. This Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile.

Three-Jaw Wire Bending Plier - Max 0.5 mm
The Three-Jaw Wire Bending Plier is a chairside orthodontic plier used to shape and bend clasps and intraoral arch wires up to 0.5 mm (.020 in) in diameter. Its beak design places two opposing jaws against a single working jaw, letting the operator form precise rounded curves and controlled bends without repositioning the wire between passes. Manufactured from stainless steel, the plier combines a tight hinge with a slim teardrop handle for confident tactile feedback during fine wire work. Equate Instruments supplies it non-sterile so it can be processed through the clinic's preferred autoclave cycle before use with other arch-wire and clasp-forming pliers.

Aderer Long Wire Bending Plier - Max 0.6 mm, 13 cm
The Aderer Long Wire Bending Plier is a 13 cm orthodontic plier used to form and adjust clasp wires and intraoral arch wires up to 0.6 mm (.023 in) in diameter. Its three-jaw beak configuration places two opposing jaws against a single working jaw, allowing controlled rounded bends and precise clasp forming in a single pass. The extended length gives better leverage and visibility when working deep in the arch or on bulkier clasp geometry. Forged in stainless steel with a slim teardrop handle, the plier maintains a tight hinge and dependable tactile feedback through long sterilisation cycles. Equate Instruments supplies it non-sterile for integration into the standard in-clinic autoclave workflow.
