Dontrix Orthodontic Force Gauge
The Dontrix Force Gauge is a spring-loaded orthodontic instrument for measuring the force applied by archwires, elastics, and auxiliary springs at the bracket. The hook-tipped indicator slides along a calibrated barrel against a coiled spring, giving a direct reading of the load being delivered up to 16 ounces so the clinician can dial force levels to the prescribed activation. Manufactured by Equate Instruments from stainless steel, the gauge is fully autoclavable and built for repeated chairside use. It is supplied non-sterile for in-office sterilisation, and its single-ended hook design lets the clinician engage the wire or elastic without removing nearby brackets or interfering with adjacent auxiliaries.

Orthodontic Bracket Height Gauge with 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm Arms
This Orthodontic Bracket Height Gauge is a four-arm calibrated instrument for measuring and positioning orthodontic brackets on the tooth crown. Each arm is stamped with a different reference height - 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm - so the clinician can rotate the gauge to select the appropriate vertical position for each tooth type. Machined from stainless steel with a thin, lightweight cross body, this Equate Instruments gauge is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for routine in-clinic processing.

Bracket Positioning Gauge for 0.018" Slot
The Bracket Positioning Gauge is a double-ended stainless-steel measuring instrument used during orthodontic bonding to place brackets at a consistent incisogingival height on the tooth crown. Each end carries a forked slot that seats over the bracket wings, while the reference edge is machined to a specific height so the gauge transfers a known distance from an anatomic landmark such as the incisal edge or cusp tip to the bracket slot. This version is calibrated for 0.018-inch bracket slot systems and carries four height steps of 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5.0 mm across the two ends. Laser-etched slot-size and height markings keep values visible at a glance during bond-up. Equate Instruments supplies this gauge non-sterile in autoclavable stainless steel for routine in-clinic processing.

Bracket Positioning Gauge for 0.022" Slot
The Bracket Positioning Gauge is a double-ended stainless-steel measuring instrument used during orthodontic bonding to place brackets at a consistent incisogingival height on the tooth crown. Each end carries a forked slot that seats over the bracket wings, while the reference edge is machined to a specific height so the gauge transfers a known distance from an anatomic landmark such as the incisal edge or cusp tip to the bracket slot. This version is calibrated for 0.022-inch bracket slot systems and carries four height steps of 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, and 5.0 mm across the two ends.

Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Star Type
The Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Star Type is a four-arm orthodontic template used to set consistent bracket heights from the incisal edge during direct or indirect bonding. Each arm of the star carries a measured step, and the arms are marked with standard bracket-height values - 0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 mm - so the clinician can rotate to the target height and seat the bracket in one motion. Equate Instruments manufactures the star gauge in stainless steel with stamped, easy-to-read numerals. It is reusable and fully autoclavable, replacing individually sized gauges with one compact template per operatory.

Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge Star Type, Improved Model
The Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge Star Type, Improved Model is a revised four-arm template for setting bracket heights during direct and indirect bonding. The updated design carries the most commonly used bracket-height values - 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm - with cleaner numerals and a slimmer arm profile that clears adjacent teeth more readily than the earlier version. Equate Instruments manufactures the gauge in stainless steel, fully autoclavable and reusable. Each arm seats precisely against the incisal edge so the clinician can reproduce the same vertical bracket position across patients.

Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Fully Adjustable with Lead Point
The Boone Bracket Positioning Gauge, Fully Adjustable, accepts a 0.50 mm replaceable lead point at each working tip, allowing the clinician to mark intended bracket positions on the enamel in pencil before bonding. The stainless steel body is fully adjustable, so marks can be transferred consistently from a diagnostic setup to each tooth in the mouth for indirect bonding workflows. Equate Instruments supplies the gauge in a presentation case. The stainless steel frame is fully autoclavable after removing the lead, and the gauge is reusable across cases with fresh lead refills.

Aluminium Bracket Height Gauge for .018 inch Slots
The Aluminium Bracket Height Gauge for .018 inch Slots is a double-ended template that carries four standard bonding heights - 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm - measured from the incisal edge to the centre of a .018 inch bracket slot. The stamped slot at each end seats directly against the bracket's archwire slot so the reference height is read off the gauge, not estimated by eye. Equate Instruments produces the gauge in anodised aluminium to keep it light in the hand. It is intended for direct and indirect bonding use and is cleaned with surface disinfection rather than routine autoclave cycles, as aluminium tempers can dull over repeated heat exposure.

Stainless Steel Height Gauge, Fully Adjustable
The Stainless Steel Height Gauge, Fully Adjustable, is a knurled-handle orthodontic gauge with a sliding head that sets bracket heights for both 0.018 and 0.022 inch slot systems from a single tool. Stamped height markings on the head - including 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm - let the clinician dial in the target bracket height before seating the bracket on the etched enamel surface. Equate Instruments machines the gauge in passivated stainless steel with a central knurled grip for a secure hold in gloved hands. It is fully autoclavable, reusable, and suitable for direct and indirect bonding workflows.

Aluminium Bracket Height Gauge for .022 inch Slots
The Aluminium Bracket Height Gauge for .022 inch Slots is a double-ended template matched to 0.022 inch bracket slots, the standard size used in most modern pre-adjusted edgewise systems. Four stamped heights - 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm - are machined at the working ends so the clinician can seat the target height directly against the bracket slot and read the reference from the gauge body. Equate Instruments produces the gauge in anodised aluminium for light weight and clean numeral markings. It is intended for direct and indirect bonding and is cleaned with surface disinfection rather than routine autoclave cycles.

Stainless Steel Bracket Height Gauge for .018 and .022 inch Slots
The Stainless Steel Bracket Height Gauge is a double-ended template that sets bracket heights at 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mm, with slot seats dimensioned for both 0.018 and 0.022 inch archwire systems. The slim flat body holds a steady reference against the incisal edge so the clinician can lower the bracket into place against the stamped step at the target height. Equate Instruments manufactures the gauge in passivated stainless steel for full autoclavability, a more durable alternative to aluminium gauges in busy orthodontic clinics that reprocess instruments in steam cycles.

Boley Gauge
The Boley Gauge is a sliding-jaw caliper with a millimetre scale along the measuring beam, used in orthodontics for tooth-width measurements, Bolton analysis, and arch-length planning. The sliding head rides on a knurled thumb-wheel for fine control and locks to read a fixed dimension, while the jaws are shaped to meet flush against the mesial and distal contact points of a tooth on the cast or in the mouth. Equate Instruments manufactures the gauge in passivated stainless steel with a clearly etched scale. It is reusable and fully autoclavable, supporting routine diagnostic and treatment-planning workflows.

Breene Donk Gauge - Single End
The Breene Donk Gauge is a precision single-end measuring instrument designed for orthodontic and prosthodontic tooth-width assessment. A sliding jaw travels along a graduated stainless-steel bar, while the fixed and moveable arms terminate in fine pointed tips that register mesio-distal dimensions, pontic spaces, and interproximal clearances without slipping off enamel. Machined from hardened stainless steel and finished with a laser-etched millimetre scale, this Equate Instruments gauge delivers consistent readings for arch-length, tooth-dimension, and space-analysis workflows during diagnostic set-ups. Fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile so the clinic can reprocess it in pouches or instrument cassettes.
