The parallel jaw pliers of this invention are primarily for use in dentistry and particularly in orthodontics. The pliers provide a compact structure permitting the jaws to be moved in a parallel manner while occupying a minimum space such as in the mouth of a patient. The pliers consist of only four major members retained by a transverse pin which maintains the members in sliding alignment while acting as a pivot for only the handles. The jaws are carried between the handle members and on and by actuating pins extending from the handle members. As the pins are moved they maintain the jaws in a parallel arrangement as the handle members are moved.
