Positive Bracket Positioner, Aluminium
The Positive Bracket Positioner is an aluminium handpiece with a small fork-tipped working end that holds an orthodontic bracket firmly by its tie wings so the clinician can transport it from the bonding pad to the tooth and hold it in the planned position while composite cures. The angled working head clears adjacent teeth and lets the operator see the bracket base as it is seated on etched enamel. Equate Instruments machines the instrument from aluminium with a knurled central grip for secure control in gloved hands. Clean with surface disinfection between patients; aluminium is not intended for routine steam autoclave cycles.

Orthodontic Bracket Height Gauge with 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm Arms
This Orthodontic Bracket Height Gauge is a four-arm calibrated instrument for measuring and positioning orthodontic brackets on the tooth crown. Each arm is stamped with a different reference height - 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm - so the clinician can rotate the gauge to select the appropriate vertical position for each tooth type. Machined from stainless steel with a thin, lightweight cross body, this Equate Instruments gauge is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic processing.

Bracket Positioning Gauge for 0.018" Slot
The Bracket Positioning Gauge is a double-ended stainless-steel measuring instrument used during orthodontic bonding to place brackets at a consistent incisogingival height on the tooth crown. Each end carries a forked slot that seats over the bracket wings, while the reference edge is machined to a specific height so the gauge transfers a known distance from an anatomic landmark such as the incisal edge or cusp tip to the bracket slot. This version is calibrated for 0.018-inch bracket slot systems and carries four height steps of 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5.0 mm across the two ends. Laser-etched slot-size and height markings keep values visible at a glance during bond-up. Equate Instruments supplies this gauge non-sterile in autoclavable stainless steel for routine in-clinic processing.

Bracket Positioning Gauge for 0.022" Slot
The Bracket Positioning Gauge is a double-ended stainless-steel measuring instrument used during orthodontic bonding to place brackets at a consistent incisogingival height on the tooth crown. Each end carries a forked slot that seats over the bracket wings, while the reference edge is machined to a specific height so the gauge transfers a known distance from an anatomic landmark such as the incisal edge or cusp tip to the bracket slot. This version is calibrated for 0.022-inch bracket slot systems and carries four height steps of 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5.0 mm across the two ends. Laser-etched slot-size and height markings keep values visible at a glance during bond-up. Equate Instruments supplies this gauge non-sterile in autoclavable stainless steel for routine in-clinic processing.

Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Star Type
The Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Star Type is a four-arm orthodontic template used to set consistent bracket heights from the incisal edge during direct or indirect bonding. Each arm of the star carries a measured step, and the arms are marked with standard bracket-height values - 0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 mm - so the clinician can rotate to the target height and seat the bracket in one motion. Equate Instruments manufactures the star gauge in stainless steel with stamped, easy-to-read numerals. It is reusable and fully autoclavable, replacing individually sized gauges with one compact template per operatory.

Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge Star Type, Improved Model
The Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge Star Type, Improved Model is a revised four-arm template for setting bracket heights during direct and indirect bonding. The updated design carries the most commonly used bracket-height values - 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm - with cleaner numerals and a slimmer arm profile that clears adjacent teeth more readily than the earlier version. Equate Instruments manufactures the gauge in stainless steel, fully autoclavable and reusable. Each arm seats precisely against the incisal edge so the clinician can reproduce the same vertical bracket position across patients.

Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Fully Adjustable with Lead Point
The Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Fully Adjustable, accepts a 0.50 mm replaceable lead point at each working tip, allowing the clinician to mark intended bracket positions on the enamel in pencil before bonding. The stainless steel body is fully adjustable, so marks can be transferred consistently from a diagnostic setup to each tooth in the mouth for indirect bonding workflows. Equate Instruments supplies the gauge in a presentation case. The stainless steel frame is fully autoclavable after removing the lead, and the gauge is reusable across cases with fresh lead refills.

Mershon Band Pusher 14 cm
The Mershon Band Pusher is a single-ended orthodontic instrument for seating molar and premolar bands to the correct gingival level during orthodontic banding appointments. The small serrated working end grips the occlusal edge of the band so the clinician can walk it down along the tooth while the patient bites or the operator pushes directly. The octagonal solid handle resists rolling and keeps the tip alignment visible as the band is seated. Equate Instruments forges the body in stainless steel with a smooth finish and balanced tip-to-handle ratio. The instrument is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for standard in-clinic sterilisation.

Orthodontic Distal-End Bending Instrument 0.030" (0.75 mm)
This orthodontic distal-end bending instrument is a slim hand tool used chairside to cinch, mark, and finish the distal end of an archwire after it emerges from the buccal tube. The fine working tip hooks behind the wire so the clinician can form a small gingival-facing bend that prevents sliding and protects the cheek soft tissue between visits. The instrument is fully stainless steel with a tapered handle and a knurled grip zone for controlled single-handed use. The rigid working tip keeps its shape through repeated bends, and the complete instrument is autoclavable for routine reprocessing alongside the rest of the orthodontic cassette.

Positive Positioner
The Positive Positioner is a long-shank orthodontic hand instrument used chairside to reference, mark and seat archwire stops, bracket positions and auxiliaries during fixed appliance appointments. A right-angle working head with a small set-screw holds a marking pin or positioning arm so the orthodontist can register a consistent reference across patients without repositioning the hand. The slim stainless-steel shaft is mid-knurled for a sure gloved grip, and the smooth polished surfaces wipe clean after each patient. Equate Instruments supplies the positioner non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Molar Band Seater
The Molar Band Seater is a hand-held orthodontic instrument used to press preformed molar bands into position on the banded tooth during fixed appliance placement. A small serrated metal platform at the head gives the patient a secure bite-down surface, and the textured tapered handle sits comfortably in the operator's palm to transmit controlled pressure across the occlusal surface of the band. The polished stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and is easy to wipe clean between patients. Equate Instruments supplies the seater non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.

Distal End Bender
The Distal End Bender is a small chairside hand instrument used to crimp and bend the distal end of an orthodontic archwire down against the molar tube rather than cutting it free. A V-shaped pincer head at the working tip captures the wire tip and folds it against the buccal tube, preventing the sharp cut end from irritating cheek tissue and preserving the full length of memory-alloy archwires. The short knurled stainless-steel handle fits a gloved finger grip without taking up space in a crowded archwire-change tray. Equate Instruments supplies the bender non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.
