Precision in Every Millimetre: Why Clinicians Choose Ixion Instruments
Rebecca Peltier, UK and Europe sales manager at DB Orthodontics, explains why Orthodontists choose Ixion Instruments.
Orthodontic treatment demands absolute precision - a principle that sits at the heart of the Ixion instrument range. For more than two decades, Ixion has earned a global reputation for producing instruments that deliver accuracy, longevity, and dependable performance in daily clinical practice.
Crafted from high-grade German surgical stainless steel, every Ixion instrument undergoes meticulous inspection by DB Orthodontics’ quality assurance team. The result is a collection that feels balanced in the hand, performs smoothly, and offers the reliable cutting action clinicians expect.

Consistent Cutting Power: The Advantage of Professional Sharpening
A defining benefit of choosing Ixion is access to the dedicated DB Orthodontics Sharpening and Refurbishment Service. This specialised service enables clinicians to return used cutters for expert sharpening, adjustment, and renewal.
For practices, it’s a practical and sustainable way to maintain instrument performance without frequent replacement. For clinicians, it ensures the reassuring precision of a tool that behaves exactly as expected - cut after cut.
‘A great advantage of being an Ixion customer is that the team offer a sharpening service which in effect gives you an almost brand-new instrument… They’re a pleasure to use, streamlined, and reliable.’
— Dr Ektor Grammatopoulos, award-winning orthodontist
Built to Last: Warranties Designed for Clinical Demands
Ixion’s engineering is backed by warranties that reflect its long-standing commitment to quality. Cutting instruments include a seven-year warranty against defects alongside a one-year cutting-performance guarantee, while utility instruments are covered for ten years.
Although routine maintenance isn’t included, the sharpening service ensures clinicians can protect their investment for many years. Each cutter also features clear wire-size indicators, helping to prevent misuse and supporting safer, more consistent clinical workflows.
