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.

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.

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.

Rectangular Arch Forming Plier TC - 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). Tungsten-carbide inserts on the working faces extend service life under hardened wire and resist rounding through repeated bends. A tapered stainless-steel body with wishbone spring handles returns smoothly between bends. This Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for standard cassette processing.

Hollow Chop Contouring Pliers - 0.56 x 0.71 mm (.022 x .028 in) Wire
The Hollow Chop Contouring Plier forms smooth arch curvatures in rectangular orthodontic archwires up to 0.56 x 0.71 mm (.022 x .028 in). The hollow-channel jaw seats the wire in a protective groove while the flat mating jaw presses a controlled radius, shaping first- and second-order bends without flattening the cross-section of the archwire. Forged from hardened stainless steel with tapered intraoral-length beaks and polished plain round handles, this Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable and built for repeat chairside use. Supplied non-sterile for in-office sterilisation.

Torquing Pliers Key 0.016 x 0.018 Inch Wire
The Torquing Pliers Key 0.016 x 0.018 Inch Wire is an orthodontic torque-bending tool designed to impart third-order (torque) activation into rectangular archwire during detailing and finishing. The tool presents two slotted ends sized to seat standard rectangular wire - one calibrated to grip 0.016 inch wire and the opposite end to grip 0.018 inch wire - so a single key can address both archwire gauges used during treatment progression without switching instruments. A slim round shank transfers rotational force without the bulk of a full-size plier, giving clear chairside access around the buccal tubes and posterior segments. Manufactured from stainless steel and supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments, the instrument is fully autoclavable for routine in-clinic processing.

Wire Bending Pliers - Single Groove with T/C Inserts 12.5 cm
The Wire Bending Pliers with Single Groove and T/C Inserts 12.5 cm is a dedicated orthodontic forming plier engineered for precise bends in rectangular archwires. One beak carries a single engaging groove that positions the wire consistently, while the opposing tungsten-carbide tip insert grips the wire firmly without scratching or flattening its cross-section. The tungsten-carbide face extends cutting and bending life far beyond a stainless-steel beak, a box-joint head maintains strict alignment under bending load, and the hardened jaw geometry handles daily forming. Passivated stainless-steel construction with contoured handles makes this Equate Instruments plier an investment-grade tool for clinicians who shape rectangular wires regularly.

Rectangular Arch Forming Pliers - 12 cm
The Rectangular Arch Forming Pliers are a 12 cm orthodontic plier designed for double and triple back-bends on rectangular archwire up to 0.022 by 0.025 inch. The squared tip profile cradles the rectangular cross-section so the wire bends without twisting, preserving the torque relationship between the wire and the bracket slots downstream. Machined from passivated stainless steel with a rivet joint hinge and smoothly contoured 12 cm handles, this plier from Equate Instruments is fully autoclavable, ultrasonically cleaned, and latex-free. Supplied non-sterile, individually packed, and QC-tested, ready for standard in-clinic sterilisation.
