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.

Three-Prong Wire Bending Pliers
Three-Prong Wire Bending Pliers are a general-purpose orthodontic tool for bending round wires, adjusting clasps on removable appliances, and forming stops and U-bends. The working head carries two prongs on one jaw and a single prong on the opposing jaw that nests between them, so the wire is gripped on three sides and can be bent precisely without twisting out of the plane of the plier. Equate Instruments forges the body in stainless steel with tapered arms and a smooth box-joint pivot. The tool is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for standard in-clinic sterilisation. Equally suitable for chairside adjustments and bench work in the orthodontic laboratory.

Lab Heavy Three-Prong Plier, 14.5 cm
The Lab Heavy Three-Prong Plier is a heavy-duty wire-bending instrument for dental laboratory and orthodontic appliance work. The working end pairs one flat beak with an opposing beak that carries two prongs separated by a central notch, producing a three-point contact that anchors the wire precisely during bending. The geometry is optimised for heavy lab wires where the operator needs a stable third contact to produce repeatable sharp bends. At 14.5 cm overall length with a box joint, this Equate Instruments plier accepts wires up to .036 inch (0.92 mm). It is built from passivated stainless steel, is fully autoclavable, and can be used by either hand.

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.

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.
