What your lab manager actually checks

Release is a tested property, not a hope

Over 130% elongation at break and a vendor-tested pass on orthodontic adhesive release are what let a tray peel off in one piece on bonding day. Both depend on a full 405 nm post-cure — we share the wash and cure schedule so the tray behaves in the chair the way it behaved on the model.

About this product

Nexa3D KeyOrtho IBT is the KeyPrint indirect bonding tray resin in a 1 kg bottle for Nexa3D NXE / NX machines — a soft, high-elongation photopolymer that carries brackets to their planned position and then peels off the adhesive instead of fighting it.

Nexa3D KeyOrtho IBT indirect bonding tray resin – 1 kg LSPc bottle for NXE
KeyOrtho IBT ships as a sealed 1 kg bottle for Nexa3D bottle-fed LSPc printers.

Why orthodontic practices choose KeyOrtho IBT

Four properties that decide whether a tray survives bonding day.

Flexes instead of cracking

Over 130% elongation at break (ASTM D638) — the tray stretches over undercuts and comes off in one piece rather than snapping around a bracket.

Releases from the adhesive

Formulated for clean release from orthodontic cement — the vendor tests adhesive release as a property, not as a hope.

Tested to ISO 10993

Cytotoxicity passes ISO 10993 and free monomer extraction stays under 2.2% to ISO 20795-2. Indications follow the current KeyPrint IFU.

Translucent for bracket checks

The clear cure lets the clinician confirm bracket seat and adhesive coverage through the tray before curing the cement.

From bottle to bonded arch

Three steps that decide whether the tray transfers the plan.

Step 01
Print on LSPc

Fill the NXE from the bottle and load the KeyOrtho IBT profile in NexaX. The resin is designed for vat polymerisation between 385 and 405 nm.

Step 02
Wash

Clean in xCLEAN or IPA with short soak times. An over-soaked flexible tray loses the exact bracket pockets you printed it for.

Step 03
Cure

UV post-cure at 405 nm to full properties. Under-curing leaves surface monomer and hurts both release and biocompatibility.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

Which printers take the 1 kg KeyOrtho IBT bottle?
This 1 kg bottle is the format for Nexa3D NXE and NX machines, which fill their vat from a bottle. XiP and XiP Pro printers use 1 kg smart cartridges and need the cartridge version of KeyOrtho IBT instead. The resin itself is designed for vat polymerisation between 385 and 405 nm, so it also runs on other DLP platforms in that range with their own validated parameters. Send us your machine model and we will confirm the right pack.
How flexible is KeyOrtho IBT, and why does that matter?
The data sheet lists over 130% elongation at break with a tensile modulus of 15.5–31.0 MPa — this is a soft, stretchy material, not a rigid one. That is exactly what an indirect bonding tray needs: it has to deform over undercuts and bracket wings during seating, then peel away in one piece without snapping and without dragging a bracket off the tooth. A rigid model resin printed as a tray will crack or lift brackets.
Does the tray release cleanly from orthodontic adhesive?
Yes — KeyPrint tests adhesive release from dental cement as a named property of KeyOrtho IBT and reports a pass. In practice, release also depends on your process: fully post-cure the tray, keep the adhesive off the tray walls where you can, and follow your bracket manufacturer's cure protocol. Under-cured trays leave surface monomer that interacts with the cement, which is the most common cause of a tray that fights you at removal.
Is KeyOrtho IBT biocompatible?
The data sheet reports a pass on ISO 10993 cytotoxicity and free monomer extraction below 2.2% to ISO 20795-2 — the testing behind its use as a short-term intraoral transfer device. It is not an implant or long-term appliance material. Which indications you may print, and under which regulatory route, depend on the current KeyPrint instructions for use in your country. Ask us if you need help locating the current revision for your lot.
What wash and cure process should I use?
Wash in xCLEAN or IPA with short soak times — a flexible tray absorbs solvent faster than a rigid model and loses its bracket pockets if you leave it in. Dry thoroughly, then post-cure at 405 nm in xCURE, the Nexa3D Wash+Cure or an equivalent unit. Full cure is what delivers both the release behaviour and the low free-monomer figure, so do not shorten it to save a few minutes on bonding day.
How thick should I design the tray?
Tray thickness is a design decision in your IDB software rather than a resin property, but the material is forgiving: too thin and the tray tears at the interproximal, too thick and it stops stretching over undercuts. Most practices settle on a wall in the low millimetres and adjust after the first few cases. Print a test arch, seat it on the model, and tune from there — our engineers can review your first tray design if it helps.
How should the bottle be stored, and can I order several?
Keep bottles sealed, upright and out of daylight and UV lamps, at normal indoor room temperature. Agitate before filling the vat, and never pour used vat resin back into a sealed bottle. Each bottle carries its lot and expiry on the label — work from that date rather than a rule of thumb. For multi-bottle orders, official purchase orders or net terms on an approved account, use the Custom volume quote button and we will confirm price and lot availability.
