A sharper edge – cut after cut
One of the standout advantages of investing in Ixion is the DB Orthodontics Sharpening and Refurbishment Service.
This exclusive service allows clinicians to send in their used cutting instruments for professional sharpening and reconditioning – giving them a new lease of life and maintaining that unmistakable Ixion performance.
Each instrument is returned with the precision, smoothness, and cutting efficiency you expect from a brand-new tool. For clinicians, it’s a cost-effective and sustainable way to maintain premium performance without constant replacement.
‘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. The box joint is so precisely designed you get a smooth action every time. They’re a pleasure to use, streamlined, and reliable.’
Dr Ektor Grammatopoulos, award-winning orthodontist
Warranty you can trust
Ixion’s commitment to excellence extends beyond craftsmanship. Cutting instruments are warrantied for seven years against defects, with cutting performance guaranteed for one year. Utility instruments carry a 10-year warranty.
Regular sharpening and maintenance are not covered – but thanks to the sharpening service, clinicians can keep their tools in peak condition for decades. All cutters clearly show maximum and minimum wire size to prevent misuse, promoting safety, consistency, and confidence in every procedure.
Trusted by the experts – here’s what they have to say:
‘Ixion Instruments are much more efficient than the previous brand we used. They cut down our clinic time, are sharper, last longer, and are all-round better quality. They deliver exceptional long-term value.’
Amy Turnbull, dental nurse, Eastgate Orthodontics

Meeral Makwana, specialist orthodontist
‘Whenever there’s an Ixion distal end cutter on the tray, the nurses comment, ‘You’ve got a good one there!’ They’re sharp, safe, and I can use them confidently without risking de-bonding molar tubes.’
Sarah Hosni, consultant orthodontist
