Orthodontic Distal-End Bending Instrument 0.022" (0.55 mm)
This orthodontic distal-end bending instrument is a slim hand tool used chairside to cinch, mark, and finish the distal end of an archwire after it emerges from the buccal tube. The fine working tip hooks behind the wire so the clinician can form a small gingival-facing bend that prevents sliding and protects the cheek soft tissue between visits. The instrument is fully stainless steel with a tapered handle and a knurled grip zone for controlled single-handed use. The rigid working tip keeps its shape through repeated bends, and the complete instrument is autoclavable for routine reprocessing alongside the rest of the orthodontic cassette.

Distal Bender, Single End
The Single-End Distal Bender is a handheld orthodontic instrument designed to bend the distal ends of archwires after insertion so they do not impinge on the buccal mucosa. The slotted working tip captures archwire up to approximately 0.022 inch, and a small cam rotation bends the protruding tail inward in one motion. The single-ended tip sits on a knurled stainless-steel handle that keeps a stable wet grip, and the tool works on any standard stainless-steel or NiTi archwire segment without deforming the main archwire curve. Equate Instruments supplies it fully autoclavable, corrosion resistant and non-sterile for routine chairside use.

Distal Bender, Double End
The Double-End Distal Bender is a handheld orthodontic instrument that bends the distal ends of archwires inward after insertion so they do not impinge on the buccal mucosa. One working end accepts wires up to approximately 0.017 inch, the opposite end accepts wires up to approximately 0.030 inch, so the clinician covers the common light and heavy archwire sizes with a single instrument. Both tips are hardened stainless steel and the knurled stainless-steel handle keeps a stable wet grip. The bender engages round and rectangular stainless-steel wires without deforming the main archwire curve, and Equate Instruments supplies it fully autoclavable, corrosion resistant and non-sterile for chairside use.

Mershon Band Pusher 14 cm
The Mershon Band Pusher is a single-ended orthodontic instrument for seating molar and premolar bands to the correct gingival level during orthodontic banding appointments. The small serrated working end grips the occlusal edge of the band so the clinician can walk it down along the tooth while the patient bites or the operator pushes directly. The octagonal solid handle resists rolling and keeps the tip alignment visible as the band is seated. Equate Instruments forges the body in stainless steel with a smooth finish and balanced tip-to-handle ratio. The instrument is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for standard in-clinic sterilisation.

Positive Positioner
The Positive Positioner is a long-shank orthodontic hand instrument used chairside to reference, mark and seat archwire stops, bracket positions and auxiliaries during fixed appliance appointments. A right-angle working head with a small set-screw holds a marking pin or positioning arm so the orthodontist can register a consistent reference across patients without repositioning the hand. The slim stainless-steel shaft is mid-knurled for a sure gloved grip, and the smooth polished surfaces wipe clean after each patient. Equate Instruments supplies the positioner non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Molar Band Seater
The Molar Band Seater is a hand-held orthodontic instrument used to press preformed molar bands into position on the banded tooth during fixed appliance placement. A small serrated metal platform at the head gives the patient a secure bite-down surface, and the textured tapered handle sits comfortably in the operator's palm to transmit controlled pressure across the occlusal surface of the band. The polished stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and is easy to wipe clean between patients. Equate Instruments supplies the seater non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.

Distal End Bender
The Distal End Bender is a small chairside hand instrument used to crimp and bend the distal end of an orthodontic archwire down against the molar tube rather than cutting it free. A V-shaped pincer head at the working tip captures the wire tip and folds it against the buccal tube, preventing the sharp cut end from irritating cheek tissue and preserving the full length of memory-alloy archwires. The short knurled stainless-steel handle fits a gloved finger grip without taking up space in a crowded archwire-change tray. Equate Instruments supplies the bender non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.

Band Pusher Mini Scaler - 6 mm Solid Handle
The Band Pusher Mini Scaler is a double-ended orthodontic hand instrument used to seat molar bands, push elastomeric modules into bracket wings and remove residual cement from around bands and brackets. Each working end is a slim angled scaler tip that doubles as a band-seating edge, letting the orthodontist both cement-clean and re-seat without reaching for a second instrument. The 6 mm solid stainless-steel handle is knurled for a secure gloved grip, and the polished working ends slip into tight interproximal spaces without damaging bracket bases. Equate Instruments supplies the scaler non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation in pouches or cassettes.

Orthodontic Band Pusher Scaler - Solid Stainless Handle 6 mm
The orthodontic band pusher scaler is a double-ended hand instrument used during band fitting and cementation. One end carries a fine scaler-style curve for cleaning calculus and cement remnants from enamel and band margins, while the opposite end is a flat angled band pusher that seats molar bands fully to the correct gingival position. The 6 mm solid stainless handle is knurled for a secure grip, with a balanced profile that gives the clinician controlled leverage when pressing a band home without bending the wire. All-stainless construction withstands routine steam sterilisation so the instrument reprocesses with the rest of the orthodontic cassette.

Band Pusher Scaler
The Band Pusher Scaler is a double-ended orthodontic instrument that carries a serrated angled band-pushing tip on one end and a curved scaler blade on the other. The band pusher seats molar bands onto tooth surfaces with controlled force and the serrated face resists slippage along the band occlusal margin, while the scaler end removes cement excess around the cervical edge without changing instruments. The knurled non-magnetic hollow stainless-steel handle keeps a stable wet grip between fittings, and the hardened stainless-steel tips retain their edge across many sterilisation cycles. Equate Instruments supplies the instrument non-sterile and fully autoclavable for routine chairside use.

Schure Band Seater & Scaler - Solid Knurled Handle
The Schure Band Seater is a double-ended orthodontic hand instrument used during band fitting and cementation. One working end carries a short, flat serrated pusher pad that lets the clinician seat orthodontic molar bands cleanly onto the tooth using occlusal bite force or direct finger pressure. The opposite end is a fine curved scaler tip used to remove excess band cement from the gingival and interproximal margins after cementation. The shank is hardened stainless steel for reliable serration retention, while the handle zone is knurled for a positive wet grip. Equate Instruments supplies this instrument non-sterile and fully autoclavable for routine in-clinic sterilisation alongside the rest of the bonding and banding setup.
