IPR
Interproximal reduction (IPR) involves the selective removal of enamel proximally to create space for tooth movement. IPR can be performed in conjunction with traditional orthodontics or clear aligners, with treatment planned by the clinician or, in some cases, through lab services that utilise digital technology. IPR is a safe and effective method to create space for orthodontic tooth movement where mild or moderate crowding exists, particularly useful for treating crowding in the anterior segment (the ‘social six’) and suitable for recontouring individual teeth.

Benefits
Why choose IPR files from Dentsply Sirona?
Reduces the risk of residual space where extractions would provide more space than is required.
Avoid lengthy arch expansion, distalisation and tooth proclination
Acquisition of space can be staged during treatment
Simultaneously adjust teeth with poor contours or poorly contoured restorations
Improves post-treatment stability and stable contact points by flattening contours
End result may have roots more parallel than with other methods and less relapse
