The following procedure was designed to help you safely debond Inspire Ice brackets, using the Inspire Ice debonding kit (#803-0205):

1. Remove all ligatures and archwires. Should you find that using a soft wax bite during debonding makes your patients feel more comfortable, one has been provided in the debonding kit. Heat the wax bite prior to use, if necessary, to ensure that all teeth are well supported, but allow the wax to cool down before applying debonding forces. Due to the fact that the wax bite comes in one size, you may need to trim it down to avoid interfering with bracket access.

2. Using the Inspire Ice debonding instrument, grasp the bracket under the occlusal and gingival tie-wings. Squeeze the instrument handles firmly until they touch. Hold the instrument in this position for several seconds.

3. With the handles still touching, pivot the debonding instrument toward the occlusal/incisal edge, using gradually increasing force until the bracket releases from the tooth. Do not snap, pull or twist the bracket. Inspire Ice utilizes Ormco’s patented ball-base technology, which reduces the force required to debond.

Note: Inspire Ice brackets are designed to fail at the interface between the bracket and the adhesive, for the safety of enamel. as a result, some or all of the adhesive will remain on the tooth after the bracket is removed. The Inspire Ice debonding kit is intended for single-patient use only. Please dispose of instrument immediately after use.
