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.

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.

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.
