Ixion™ Lingual Instruments
This range of Ixion™ Lingual Instruments has been specifcally developed to facilitate the ‘art’ of Lingual Orthodontics.
We consulted leading lingual orthodontists to produce a range of instruments which fully meet the needs of this challenging technique.
With these factors in mind we have developed a range of instruments with longer handles for the difcult to reach areas, the heads of the instruments are smaller to accommodate the lack of interproximal space and all instruments have the unique Ixion™ smooth contours for added patient comfort

ix958
Flush Cut Distal End Cutter
The fush cut feature of this instrument allows the archwire to be cut fush distal to the buccal tube, eliminating the possibility of patient discomfort resulting from archwire protrusion.

Weingart 60° Angle with T.C.
Same features as ix950 with the addition of Tungsten Carbide tips. For use with wire up to .018” (.46mm).

ix949
Slim Tweed Plier
This instrument has slimmer tips - just 0.9mm - than the ix871 which means that it is ideal for use in the lingual technique.

ix960
Lingual Anterior Debonding Plier
Specifcally designed to enable the clinician to easily debond lingual brackets including those with a customised base.
The bracket is successfully debonded by placing the sharp edges of the metal arms between the adhesive and enamel interface. The handles are slowly closed so that a peeling action of the bracket base from the gingival towards the incisal edge completes the safe and successful debond.
The sharp edges of the metal arms are manufactured from a special hardened steel which gives long lasting sharpness.

ix975
Intra Oral Detailing Plier 0.75mm Step
The Ixion Intra Oral detailing plier allows .029” (.75mm) frst and second order bends to be created intra orally, quickly and accurately without the need for removing the archwire.
The double-sided head of the instrument has been specially designed to enable intra-oral steps to be created, even interproximally between lingual brackets where the space is often very limited.
For use with wire up to .018” x .018” (.46 x .46mm).
​
ix976
Intra Oral Detailing Plier 0.5mm Step
​
Same features as the ix975 but with a smaller head, designed to create .020” (.5mm) frst and second order bends intra orally.
For use with wire up to .018” x .018” (.46 x .46mm). European community design number: 002455881.
US patent numbers: US D741,486 S and US D740,942 S.
