The popular choice of premium instruments for orthodontists internationally:<br />
All <strong>Ixion</strong> instruments are made from German surgical stainless steel with a beautiful satin finish<br />
which reduces glare from surgery lighting.<br />
All cutting edges are made from tungsten carbide or reminate providing superior strength and<br />
sharpness.<br />
All instruments have a Box Joint which provides a reliable, smooth action and ensures the tips<br />
align perfectly every time.<br />
All <strong>Ixion</strong> instruments have a unique streamline design providing a perfectly balanced<br />
instrument.<br />
All <strong>Ixion</strong> instruments are finished with round, smooth edges providing maximum comfort and<br />
safety for you and your patient.<br />
I have been using <strong>Ixion</strong> pliers for 8 years now, having made the decision to use them when I<br />
moved my hospital department over to a CSSD tray system. I based that decision on having been<br />
very impressed with the high quality of the instruments when compared with other instruments I<br />
have used over a long and busy clinical career.<br />
I set very high standards in clinical matters and <strong>Ixion</strong> pliers do not disappoint in any way. In<br />
the time they have been in use, they have proved to be reliable and robust, and good value for<br />
money.<br />
They are well-designed and beautifully engineered from good quality steel, being both aesthetic<br />
and functional. If I had to re-stock my department, I would certainly order <strong>Ixion</strong> pliers again. I<br />
would highly recommend them to anyone.<br />

Looking for a solution to reduce emergency appointments?<br />
Introducing the Safe Cinch...<br />
Problem 1: Wire Poke<br />
The wires slide out distally through the molar tubes or brackets as teeth align or<br />
wire slides round. This is specially a problem with SLBs and Lingual technique.<br />
Problem 2: Long Unsupported Span<br />
The fine, flexible wires drop out of molar tubes and may be too light to be held by<br />
conventional cinching.<br />
Problem 3: Loose Tube<br />
Bonded molar tubes that debond can easily come off the back of the wire even<br />
when conventionally cinched, causing safety concerns.<br />
Solution: Safe Cinch<br />
The <strong>Ixion</strong> Safe Cinch is a simple solution to prevent any of these problems from<br />
occurring.<br />
ix920 Safe Cinch Plier I ix921 Safe Cinches Pk 40 I ix922 Safe Cinches Plier & 40 Cinches<br />
The Safe Cinch is a rounded, crimpable device which is fitted over the protruding<br />
end of the archwire behind the molar tube, using special pliers designed to hold and<br />
crimp it securely. The Safe Cinch is designed to reduce emergency appointments by<br />
preventing sharp wire from poking into the soft tissue at the back of the mouth, safely<br />
holding debonded molar tubes on the archwire, and preventing flexible wires from<br />
dropping out<br />
of molar tubes<br />
or brackets.<br />
The ix920 is a<br />
plier used for<br />
the positioning<br />
of the ix921<br />
Safe Cinch.<br />
The Safe Cinch<br />
must be positioned using the ix920 Safe Cinch<br />
Plier otherwise its safety cannot be assured.<br />
EU patent number: EP 2106246. USA patent<br />
number: US 8,246,350 B2.<br />
I have been using safe cinch for some time now and find it invaluable to secure the distal ends of sectional wires.<br />
The safe cinch is more comfortable for patients as it eliminates wire pokes which also helps reduce emergency<br />
appointments. It’s also very useful as stops for low friction systems.<br />

Aligner Pliers<br />
It’s clear to see that thermoformed aligner systems are a fast growing area<br />
in orthodontics. To meet demand we have designed a range of instruments<br />
to aid clinicians in the successful treatment of all cases. The use of aligner<br />
pliers may avoid future refinement stages as they can recover teeth which<br />
may have fallen behind in treatment.<br />
Featuring our world renowned elegant and streamline <strong>Ixion</strong> design, these<br />
easy to use pliers are perfect for achieving greater torque, rotational<br />
control and increased retention. All the finer details are reflected in the<br />
design; including narrow tips for greater access into the tricky lower<br />
anterior section of aligners, and the easy to use, no-heat-required function.<br />
6 www.dbortho.com
ix887<br />
The Torque Aligner Plier<br />
Due to material flexibility at the gingival margins,<br />
achieving torque may be challenging. The IX887<br />
creates a horizontal indentation (0.75 x 1.5mm),<br />
creating a force point for individual lingual or<br />
labial root torque.<br />
ix888<br />
The Rotation Aligner Plier<br />
Rotational control with aligners can often prove<br />
challenging due to the lack of surface contact<br />
area between aligner and tooth – particularly on<br />
laterals. The IX888 creates a vertical indentation /<br />
force point (0.75 x 1.5mm) on the tooth surface to<br />
optimise tooth rotation.<br />
www.dbortho.com<br />
7
ix889<br />
The Retention Aligner Plier<br />
Use the IX889 on the gingival margin at<br />
the interdental papilla to create a circular<br />
indentation (1mm) for increased retention of<br />
aligners and retainers.<br />
ix890<br />
The Tear Drop Plier<br />
The tear drop plier assists in the treatment of Class<br />
II and IIIs, space closure, extrusion, and intrusion<br />
of posteriors. Create a cut at the gingival margin,<br />
anywhere along the arch – buccally, labially or<br />
lingually - to conveniently hold elastics in place while<br />
the aligner is placed in the mouth.<br />
8 www.dbortho.com
ix891<br />
The Hole Punch Plier<br />
Often used alongside tear-drop hooks for elastics,<br />
the hole punch creates a half-circle cut-out in the<br />
aligner to give clearance for bonded buttons, tubes<br />
or brackets with hooks for elastics.<br />

Lingual Series<br />
This range of lingual instruments has been developed specifically to<br />
facilitate the ‘art’ of lingual orthodontics. We consulted many<br />
lingual orthodontists in order that we were able to produce a range<br />
of instruments which fully met their needs.<br />
The small inter bracket widths and working in parts of the mouth<br />
which are hard to reach with traditional orthodontic instruments<br />
gives the lingual technique an added difficulty.<br />
With these factors in mind we have developed a range of<br />
instruments with longer handles for the difficult to reach areas, the<br />
heads of the instruments are smaller to accommodate the lack of<br />
space and all instruments have the unique <strong>Ixion</strong> smooth contours for<br />
added patient comfort.

patient comfort. The serrated tips of this<br />
instrument hold the wire securely while<br />
bending the wire 90° distal to the buccal<br />
tube. For use with Nickel Titanium wires<br />

Tooth Autotransplantation<br />
ix200<br />
Transplantation Stent Kit<br />
Tooth autotransplantation is the<br />
surgical movement of a donor tooth to a<br />
recipient site within the same individual.<br />
Autotransplantation is essentially<br />
a controlled avulsion and replantation, either<br />
into an extraction site or a surgically-prepared<br />
artificial socket.<br />
Premolar transplantation is a well-recognised<br />
technique for managing missing anterior<br />
teeth, including teeth lost through trauma<br />
or developmentally absent teeth, such as in<br />
hypodontia and cleft palate. Other indications<br />
include replacement of a failing or a poorprognosis<br />
permanent tooth and surgical<br />
repositioning of an impacted or ectopic<br />
permanent tooth.<br />
DB Orthodontics has developed a range of<br />
transplantation stents with The Leeds Dental<br />
Institute autologous transplantation team.<br />

Kit includes 3 x stents - small, medium and<br />
large - plus stainless steel sterilisation<br />
cassette including locking arm (not shown).<br />
The set of stents have been produced to:<br />
• Minimise extra-oral time of the donor tooth/<br />
teeth.<br />
• Reduce the damage to the periodontal<br />
ligament of donor tooth by minimising the<br />
number of try in attempts when assessing<br />
the donor tooth’s fit in the recipient site.<br />
• Provide flexibility to the surgeon by<br />
providing a variety of stent sizes, thereby<br />
allowing them to choose the most<br />
appropriate premolar to transplant.<br />

Recommended washing, handling and<br />
sterilization instructions for <strong>Ixion</strong> <br />
Instruments<br />
Instruments are not sterile upon receipt and must be<br />
sterilised before use in accordance with the following<br />
instructions.<br />
Remove all packaging prior to cleaning and<br />
sterilization. Do not exceed 1600C.<br />
For correct use and maximum and minimum wire<br />
sizes please refer to www.<strong>Ixion</strong>-instruments.co.uk,<br />
current <strong>Ixion</strong> catalogue or the wire size etching on the<br />
instrument body.<br />
Cleaning Instructions<br />
Remove any excess oil with a disposable paper towel.<br />
Manual<br />
Brush using a near neutral cleaning agent (A neutral<br />
cleaning agent will prevent staining and mottling of<br />
the surface of the instrument) and ensure that the<br />
instrument is cleaned thoroughly on all surfaces<br />
and joints. Rinse under clean running water for 3<br />
minutes. Repeat full process if necessary. Dry using<br />
a paper towel. Please Note: Manual cleaning is not<br />
recommended for IX841.<br />
Automatic<br />
Use only validated washing agents suitable for<br />
the instruments and washing machine. (A neutral<br />
cleaning agent will prevent staining and mottling of<br />
the surface of the instrument).<br />
When removing the instruments from the washing<br />
machines please check for cleanliness and repeat<br />
the cycle if necessary. Check for any damage or<br />
corrosion. Cutting edges should be free of defects<br />
and ensure that detachable tips are secure.<br />
Dry thoroughly using a paper towel or dry heat not<br />
exceeding 160°C.<br />
Please Note: Instruments should be thoroughly dried<br />
before sterilization, particular attention should be<br />
taken with drying joints/springs/tips and screws.<br />
Any residual water left on the instrument can lead to<br />
surface corrosion.<br />
Sterilisation Instructions<br />
Always lubricate joints and hinges before sterilization,<br />
using a vapour permeable lubricant. (<strong>Ixion</strong> instrument<br />
oil IX010) Instruments should be loaded into<br />
perforated instrument trays or general purpose<br />
sterilisation trays ensuring the cutting edges are not<br />
in contact with the trays to avoid damaging the<br />
cutting surfaces. When sterilising more than one<br />
instrument care should be taken to prevent the<br />
instruments from touching as this may cause damage.<br />
Use only validated vacuum autoclaves. Do not<br />
exceed 1600C. Do not exceed the manufacturers<br />
stated maximum load.<br />
Additional information<br />
Validated ultrasonic baths may be used with<br />
validated cleaning agents. Follow instructions for<br />
use issued by the equipment and cleaning agent<br />
manufacturer.<br />
DB Orthodontics recommends automatic cleaning<br />
requirements should be done following the<br />
requirements of CFPP, NI/CFPP, SHTM and WHTM<br />
publications as applicable.<br />
<strong>Ixion</strong> instruments washing and sterilization<br />
processes have been validated by DB Orthodontics<br />

<strong>Ixion</strong> instruments are warranted to be free of defects<br />
in material and workmanship for 5 years. DB<br />
Orthodontics will sharpen free of charge within 1<br />
year of purchase any cutter which fails to cut the<br />
intended wire size. Mis-use, abuse or failure to<br />
maintain or care for instruments properly will void<br />
warranty claims. DB Orthodontics’s sole<br />
responsibility will be, at its own discretion, to repair<br />
or replace or credit the instrument in the event of<br />
any claimed defects. Adherence to recommended<br />
cleaning, sterilization and lubrication practices will<br />
help ensure optimum instrument performance.<br />
Cutting instruments that are used frequently should<br />
be reconditioned as required. Joints should be<br />
lubricated with a medical grade lubricant during<br />
every decontamination procedure. Warranty does<br />
not cover routine maintenance, sharpening or<br />
reconditioning.<br />
Limitation of Liability<br />
Except where prohibited by law, DB Orthodontics<br />
will not be liable for any loss or damages arising<br />
from this product, whether direct, indirect, special,<br />
incidental or consequential, regardless of the theory<br />
asserted, including warranty, contract, negligence or<br />
strict liability. This limitation does not apply to third<br />
party personal injury claims.<br />
Warranty does not cover routine maintenance,<br />
sharpening, repairing minor tip damage or<br />
reconditioning. Warranty claims or service<br />
requests should be forwarded to your distributor.<br />
