Torquing Plier Female .022" x .028"
The Female Torquing Plier is a specialty orthodontic instrument for applying third-order bends to rectangular archwires up to 0.56 x 0.71 mm (.022" x .028"). Paired with a male counterpart, it grips the passive segment of the wire while the male plier rotates the active segment, placing precise degrees of crown torque into stainless steel or titanium-molybdenum archwires. The female jaw carries a slotted recess that matches the cross-section of a .022 x .028 wire, delivering positive engagement without marring the wire's surface. The slim ergonomic handles provide fine tactile control, and the stainless steel body is fully autoclavable. Supplied non-sterile by Equate Instruments for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Torquing Pliers Wide
The Torquing Plier Wide adds third-order (labial or lingual root torque) bends to rectangular orthodontic archwires. The wide mating jaws grip a broader section of the archwire so torque is distributed evenly along multiple teeth, minimising localised twist and wire deformation during anterior torque adjustments. Equate Instruments builds this plier from hardened stainless steel with a pivot screw and polished plain round handles for balanced rotation force. It is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Torquing Pliers Narrow
The Torquing Plier Narrow adds third-order (labial or lingual root torque) bends to a single tooth segment of a rectangular orthodontic archwire. The narrow mating jaws concentrate torque on a short run of wire, giving the orthodontist fine control when correcting individual anterior tooth inclinations without affecting neighbouring segments. Equate Instruments forges this plier from hardened stainless steel and finishes it with polished plain round handles for balanced rotation force. It is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

Torquing Plier Male .022" x .028"
The Male Torquing Plier is a specialty orthodontic instrument that pairs with a female torquing plier to apply precise third-order crown torque to rectangular archwires up to 0.56 x 0.71 mm (.022" x .028"). The male jaw carries a keyed projection that matches the slot of the female plier on an adjacent wire segment, so the two pliers work together to rotate the active section of wire around its long axis. The keyed engagement preserves the wire's rectangular cross-section while transmitting the torque, avoiding the marring that would result from gripping with smooth jaws. The slim ergonomic handles provide fine tactile feedback during finishing-stage archwire refinement. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel by Equate Instruments, the plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic steam sterilisation.

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.

Hammerhead NiTi Cinch Back Pliers 0.64 mm (.025″ Wire)
The Hammerhead NiTi Cinch Back Pliers are built to bend the distal end of NiTi and stainless archwires once they exit the buccal tube. The slim hammerhead working head reaches comfortably to the terminal molar region and places a clean, right-angled bend that stops the wire from sliding anteriorly and protects the patient's soft tissues from sharp ends. Equate Instruments constructs the plier in forged stainless steel with tapered arms, a smooth box-joint pivot, and a balanced spring return. The instrument is rated for round and rectangular archwires up to 0.64 mm (.025″), is corrosion resistant, and is fully autoclavable. It is supplied non-sterile for processing through the clinic's standard sterilisation cycle.

Bracket Remover with Narrow Tip
This orthodontic bracket remover is a precision debonding plier engineered to lift metal and ceramic brackets from the enamel with a controlled shear force. The narrow upper beak slips under the bracket base while the opposing tip rests against the archwire or crown, so the rotational pinch breaks the adhesive bond without loading the adjacent teeth. The long, curved stainless-steel handles close the jaws with minimal operator force and taper outward for a comfortable two-finger grip. Autoclavable and supplied non-sterile, this Equate Instruments plier is made for clinicians who need a narrow-tip remover for tight interbracket spaces and small anterior brackets.
