Tweed Arch Forming Pliers Box Joint 12.5cm
The Tweed arch forming pliers are wire-bending pliers patterned for the controlled double-back and triple-back bends required when forming a Tweed archwire. The matched anvil-and-groove tips give a precise fulcrum for repeatable gable and tip-back bends, letting the operator place predictable first, second, and third-order corrections along the arch. A box joint gives the pliers a rigid, non-wobbling pivot that protects the bend angle under high-load bending, and the slim 12.5 cm handles balance comfortably in either hand. Equate Instruments supplies the pliers forged in passivated stainless steel with a cutting capacity up to 0.022 x 0.025 inch (0.56 x 0.64 mm), fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile.

Tweed Arch Forming Pliers - 12 cm
The Tweed Arch Forming Pliers are a 12 cm orthodontic plier designed in the classic Tweed pattern for producing double and triple back-bends on rectangular archwire up to 0.022 by 0.025 inch. The characteristic Tweed tip geometry places a flat forming surface against a stepped anvil, encouraging sharp-cornered bends that anchor cleanly inside molar tubes. Machined from passivated stainless steel with a rivet joint hinge and smoothly contoured 12 cm handles, this plier from Equate Instruments is fully autoclavable, ultrasonically cleaned, and latex-free. Supplied non-sterile, individually packed, and QC-tested, ready for standard in-clinic sterilisation.

How Utility Plier 3.2mm Max 0.028 Inch Wire
The How Utility Plier is a general-purpose orthodontic instrument for grasping, contouring and bending arch wires, as well as seating molar bands and loosely crimping crowns. Tapered parallel tips give the clinician fine control over wire positioning, and the plier will hold round or rectangular archwires up to 0.028 inch (0.71 mm) in diameter. Forged from stainless steel with a simple spring-return handle, this Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic sterilisation between patients.

Three-Prong Wire Bending Pliers
Three-Prong Wire Bending Pliers are a general-purpose orthodontic tool for bending round wires, adjusting clasps on removable appliances, and forming stops and U-bends. The working head carries two prongs on one jaw and a single prong on the opposing jaw that nests between them, so the wire is gripped on three sides and can be bent precisely without twisting out of the plane of the plier. Equate Instruments forges the body in stainless steel with tapered arms and a smooth box-joint pivot. The tool is corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable, and supplied non-sterile for standard in-clinic sterilisation. Equally suitable for chairside adjustments and bench work in the orthodontic laboratory.

Universal Orthodontic Plier with Tungsten Carbide Tips
The Universal Orthodontic Plier from Equate Instruments is a multipurpose wire-working instrument fitted with tungsten-carbide (TC) tips for holding, bending, and contouring orthodontic archwires. The flat opposing beaks grip round and rectangular wires securely, allowing the operator to form utility arches, place bayonet bends, and adjust intraoral wires with a single plier. A hardened stainless-steel body carries the TC insert at the working end to resist wear from repeated wire contact. Gold-tone grip tips on the handles identify TC instruments on the rack at a glance. The plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for standard in-clinic processing.

Weingart Orthodontic Pliers TC (0.71mm / .028 in Wire)
The Weingart Orthodontic Pliers from Equate Instruments are the classic serrated-tip plier used to place, remove, and manipulate archwires in fixed orthodontic treatment. Long narrow beaks with cross-serrations grip round and rectangular wires up to 0.71 mm (.028 in) without slipping, allowing precise intraoral placement into bracket slots and distal tube receptacles. The beaks are fitted with tungsten-carbide (TC) inserts for hard-wearing grip that lasts through many more cycles than plain stainless steel. Leaf-spring handles in hardened stainless steel open the plier automatically between uses. The instrument is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for in-clinic processing.

Long Weingart Pliers - Max 0.71mm (.028") Wire
Long Weingart pliers are a chairside orthodontic workhorse for placing and removing archwires through brackets and bands. The elongated beaks reach the posterior buccal segments without levering the plier body against the cheek, and the serrated tungsten-carbide tips hold rectangular and round wires up to 0.71 mm (.028 inch) without slipping during seating and cinch-back. Angled working tips provide a clear sight line into the bracket slot so wire engagement is visual as well as tactile. The stainless-steel body carries a dark surface finish that cuts glare under operatory lights, and the polished spring handles return smoothly between grips. This Equate Instruments plier is fully autoclavable and supplied non-sterile for standard cassette processing.

Adams Plier - Max 0.7 mm, 13 cm
The Adams Plier is the reference instrument for fabricating Adams clasps on removable orthodontic appliances and retainers. Its square, sharply tapered beaks grip round wire up to 0.7 mm (.028 in) at precise points, enabling the crisp 90-degree arrowhead bends that give the clasp its retentive grip on molar undercuts. The pointed tip profile also helps engage existing clasps for minor chairside adjustments. Made from stainless steel with a slim teardrop handle, the plier maintains tight beak alignment through repeated use and sterilisation. It is supplied non-sterile so the clinic can process it through its standard autoclave workflow before placement in the orthodontic plier set.

Long Weingart Pliers - Tungsten Carbide
The Long Weingart Pliers are an orthodontic utility plier with elongated angled beaks designed to grip, guide and seat archwires through bracket slots from either side of the arch. The narrow serrated tungsten-carbide insert tips hold round and rectangular archwires up to 0.71 mm (0.028 inch) without slipping, while the extended jaw reach improves access to the distal molar tubes. Long curved stainless-steel handles taper outward for a comfortable two-finger grip and close the jaws with minimal pinch force. The plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, it is a reliable chairside tool for archwire placement, removal and adjustment across fixed appliance treatment.

Slim Weingart Pliers
The Slim Weingart Pliers are a narrow-profile orthodontic utility plier designed for archwire placement and removal in tight interbracket spaces. The slim, angled beaks taper to a fine serrated tip that grips round and rectangular archwires up to 0.50 mm (0.020 inch), giving the clinician more visibility at the bracket face than a standard Weingart. Long curved stainless-steel handles taper outward for a relaxed two-finger grip and close the slim jaws with minimal force. The plier is autoclavable and supplied non-sterile. From Equate Instruments, it suits clinicians working with light initial archwires and crowded arches where a slim beak profile matters.
