Band Seating Plier - 2.8 mm Tip
The Band Seating Plier is an orthodontic positioning plier built to seat molar bands accurately onto the tooth during fitting. A 2.8 mm carbide seating tip on the upper beak presses on the buccal or lingual band margin, while the flat opposing beak rests on the archwire or occlusal surface as an anchor point, giving the clinician controlled downward seating force without patient bite loading. Rated for use alongside archwires up to 0.50 mm (0.020 inch), the plier suits routine band placement during comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Long curved stainless-steel handles reduce pinch effort, and the instrument is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, it is a chairside staple for band fitting visits.

Angle Plier for Band Setting
The Angle Plier is a slim orthodontic working plier engineered to seat and secure orthodontic bands during fitting. Symmetric pyramidal tips meet at a fine point that grips the band margin firmly without crushing or distorting the metal, giving the operator precise control over band seating and positioning before cementation. Manufactured in autoclavable stainless steel with a slim teardrop handle, the Angle Plier maintains tight hinge action and a dependable working edge over repeated sterilisation cycles. Equate Instruments supplies it non-sterile so the clinic can integrate it into its preferred steam-sterilisation workflow alongside the rest of the orthodontic plier set.

Posterior Band Removing Pliers Long Handle
The Posterior Band Removing Pliers are designed for the controlled removal of orthodontic bands from posterior teeth. One jaw is fitted with a cushioned plastic tip that rests on the occlusal surface to protect the enamel, while the opposing beak engages the gingival margin of the band and lifts it away from the tooth without distortion. The long, tapered handle provides reach into the posterior segments of both arches, and the precision-milled joint and wear-resistant beak withstand repeated clinical use. Equate Instruments supplies this plier in autoclavable stainless steel, making it a dependable debanding instrument for orthodontists and orthodontic assistants at the end of active treatment.

Plastic Replacement Tips for Band Remover (5 pcs)
This pack contains five plastic replacement tips for orthodontic band removing pliers. Each tip is a small, non-marking polymer cap that press-fits onto the occlusal rest of a band remover so the metal jaw does not contact the opposing dentition while the band is lifted off the molar. Fresh tips restore a clean occlusal stop, protect the enamel, and give a predictable feel when walking the band off the tooth. Tips are intended to be replaced periodically as they compress and wear during repeated use. Parts are supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments so the clinic can process them through its standard disinfection or sterilisation workflow before chairside use.

Angled Direct Bond Bracket Remover Plier 45°
This direct-bond bracket remover is an orthodontic plier with an angled bill engineered to engage beneath a metal or ceramic bracket base and lift it cleanly off the tooth surface at debonding. The slim, tapered tip glides under the bracket pad, while the pivoting beak allows controlled, progressive shear to break the adhesive bond without abrupt force on the enamel. Manufactured from surgical stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the plier features satin-finished cantilevered handles that flex consistently through repeated use. It is fully autoclavable for standard steam sterilisation and built to withstand routine orthodontic debonding appointments.

Band Removing Pliers Short - Tungsten Carbide Tipped
These short-handle band removing pliers are engineered for atraumatic removal of orthodontic molar bands at the end of treatment. One jaw carries a protective plastic pad that rests on the occlusal enamel, while the opposing curved beak hooks under the occlusal edge of the band. Closing the handles lifts the band cleanly off the tooth without scraping dentin or dislodging cement. Manufactured from surgical stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the pliers feature satin-finished cantilevered handles for a confident grip during short working movements. They are fully autoclavable for standard steam sterilisation and suited to daily use in orthodontic finishing and debanding appointments.

Band Crimping Pliers
The Band Crimping Plier tightens the marginal fit of orthodontic molar bands after try-in by pressing a small inward crimp into the band wall. The stepped jaws lock onto the band in a controlled position so the crimp sits at a predictable height, improving band retention on short clinical crowns and reducing lift after cementation. Equate Instruments forges this plier from hardened stainless steel with polished plain round handles. It is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Posterior Band Remover Plier Long Handle
The Posterior Band Remover is an orthodontic plier engineered to lift and free cemented molar bands from the tooth without twisting the anchor unit. One arm terminates in a hardened metal tip that engages the occlusal edge of the band, while the opposite arm carries a soft plastic-tipped contact that rests on the buccal or lingual cusp without scoring the enamel. Squeezing the long handles drives the metal tip under the band's marginal ridge while the plastic cusp rest provides a fulcrum, releasing the cement seal in a controlled, atraumatic lift. The long-handle geometry gives access to the second molar region, and the stainless steel body is fully autoclavable. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Direct Bonding Bracket Holder 14cm
The Direct Bonding Bracket Holder 14 cm is a single-handled orthodontic positioning instrument used during direct bonding to hold a bracket in place while adhesive sets on the tooth. The small hooked working tip cradles the archwire slot of a bracket, leaving the facial surface fully exposed for light-cure or chemical-cure activation. Manufactured from surgical stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the flat rectangular handle sits comfortably between fingers for accurate placement pressure without tipping the bracket during cure. The satin finish reduces glare from operating lights, and the full instrument is autoclavable for routine chairside sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.
