Clear Aligner Vertical Rectangular Plier
The Clear Aligner Vertical Rectangular Plier forms a vertical rectangular retention feature in thermoformed clear aligner trays. One jaw carries a raised rectangular die oriented occluso-gingivally, while the opposing jaw carries a matching recess, so squeezing the plier stamps a clean, vertically aligned bump into the aligner's facial surface. The resulting feature supports extrusion, intrusion, and vertical auxiliary mechanics by giving elastic hooks or composite attachments positive engagement in the long axis of the tooth. The long handle gives mechanical advantage against cold plastic, and the slim body keeps the workspace clear. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Clear Aligner Tear Drop Plier
The Clear Aligner Tear Drop Plier places a tear-drop-shaped attachment feature into the facial surface of a thermoformed clear aligner tray. One jaw carries a raised tear-drop die, while the opposing jaw carries a matching recess, so a single squeeze deforms the warm-softened plastic into a precise retention bump that engages composite attachments or auxiliary elastics. The long handle provides mechanical advantage for working cold or reheated plastic, and the slim body allows the operator to reach the anterior and premolar segments without interference. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic steam sterilisation. A staple in aligner refinement workflows.

Clear Aligner Horizontal Rectangular Plier
The Clear Aligner Horizontal Rectangular Plier forms a horizontal rectangular retention feature in thermoformed clear aligner trays. One jaw carries a small raised rectangular die oriented mesio-distally, while the opposing jaw receives the die in a matching recess, so squeezing the plier stamps a clean, edge-to-edge bump into the aligner's facial surface. The resulting feature provides engagement for mesio-distal tip movements and horizontal auxiliary mechanics without weakening the aligner wall. The long handle gives mechanical advantage against cold plastic, and the slim body keeps the workspace clear. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Clear Aligner Dimpling Plier
The Clear Aligner Dimpling Plier stamps small round dimples into the facial surface of thermoformed clear aligner trays. A paired jaw geometry with a pin-style projection and matching receiving cup produces a clean concave dimple on one side and a convex bump on the reverse, adding localised retention where an aligner tends to lift off a tooth or needs additional engagement with an attachment. The long handle provides leverage against cold plastic, and the slim ergonomic body allows the operator to reach anterior and premolar segments without obstruction. Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic steam sterilisation. A chairside staple for aligner refinement and troubleshooting.

Direct Bond Bracket Remover Plier
The Direct Bond Bracket Remover Plier is an orthodontic debonding instrument with a notched upper beak that engages the bracket wings and a flat lower beak that rests on the occlusal or incisal edge. Closing the handle pivots the bracket off the tooth with minimal enamel stress, preserving the surface for re-bonding or finishing. Forged from stainless steel with a slim spring-return handle, this Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic processing between patients.

Angulated Debonding Pliers (TC)
The Angulated Debonding Pliers are orthodontic instruments built for clean, controlled bracket removal at the end of fixed-appliance treatment. The angulated working head lets the clinician line up on the bonding base of each bracket, concentrating shear force at the adhesive interface so the bracket lifts cleanly without unnecessary load on the enamel. A tungsten carbide insert on the occluding jaw holds its edge through many debonding cycles, keeping the action predictable across full-mouth appointments. From Equate Instruments, the plier features slim tapered arms and a smooth spring return for comfort in extended sessions. The body is corrosion-resistant stainless steel, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic sterilisation in the clinician's preferred workflow.

Adhesive Removing Pliers (TC)
The Adhesive Removing Pliers are built for post-debond clean-up, lifting residual bonding composite from the enamel without scarring the tooth surface. The plier pairs a white Teflon occlusal pad with a tungsten-carbide scraping tip on the opposing jaw. In use, the Teflon pad seats on the occlusal surface of the tooth while the TC scraper sweeps along the labial or buccal face, shearing adhesive away at the enamel interface. The forged stainless steel body from Equate Instruments is slim and well-balanced for extended chairside sessions, with a smooth spring return between squeezes. It is corrosion-resistant and fully autoclavable, and the working parts are replaceable when worn so the plier stays in service longer. Supplied non-sterile for in-clinic processing.

Adhesive Remover Changeable Parts - 5 Sets (Carbide Tip + Teflon Pad)
This pack contains five replacement sets of working parts for orthodontic adhesive removing pliers. Each set includes one tungsten carbide scraping tip and one Teflon occlusal pad, ready to swap into a compatible adhesive-removing plier when the original parts wear or foul with composite residue. Keeping a stock of replacement tips extends the life of the parent instrument and keeps post-debond finishing predictable appointment after appointment. The tungsten carbide tip is machined for consistent edge geometry, while the Teflon pad provides a soft, non-marking stop against the occlusal surface of the tooth during scraping. Parts from Equate Instruments fit standard adhesive removing pliers designed around a snap-in or screw-retained tip interface. Supplied non-sterile for processing in the clinic's preferred workflow.
