Orthodontic Approximal Grinding Kit (IPR)

Interproximal reduction (IPR)

Interproximal reduction with a contra-angle handpiece (IPR) is the removal of small amounts of the outer enamel surface of the tooth between two adjacent teeth. It is a way to create additional space to achieve ideal tooth alignment. Alternative names include: slenderizing, stripping, enamel reduction, and reproximation.

Features

• Creates space to align teeth more effectively.
• Helps improve the dental structure (the way teeth fit together).
• Can increase the stability of the teeth, helping them maintain their position in the long term.
• Can reduce 'black triangles'; these are caused by the absence of gum tissue (gingival papilla) between the teeth, giving the impression of a dark space or gap. 
• In certain cases, IPR can reduce the need for permanent tooth extractions. 
• IPR can also be used in combination with tooth extractions for the reasons mentioned above.
• Can help improve the appearance of the teeth by reshaping them for a better aesthetic result.
