What is Interproximal Reduction (IPR) in Orthodontics?
IPR, or Interproximal Reduction, involves the precise removal of a minimal amount of enamel from a specific set of teeth and has been a longstanding practice in orthodontics. This method allows for the reduction of certain teeth’s width by up to ½ mm.
Employing this technique empowers orthodontists to create space for repositioning crowded teeth and enhancing the overall alignment of teeth, promoting improved harmony during Invisalign and braces treatment.
The interproximal stripping handpiece proves to be much more controllable and safer than diamond discs and manual hand stripping. In particular, you can easily control the quantity of enamel to remove.
This Set is specially designed for cost-effective and user-oriented treatment. Therefore it effectively provides the flexibility that diamond and carbide burs can‘t.
What is the scope of performing IPR in Orthodontics?
The primary objective of IPR is to generate space within the dental arches, facilitating the effectiveness of orthodontic devices like braces or aligners. IPR proves particularly advantageous for patients with moderate dental crowding, as it excels in situations where only minor gaps are required to guide the teeth into their correct positions. This procedure enables patients to maintain their complete set of teeth, eliminating the need for extractions.
Which patients Dentists should consider performing Interproximal Enamel Reduction?
Patients with a moderate level of teeth crowding typically make ideal candidates for IPR. The process involves narrowing the width of the teeth by approximately 0.2 to 0.5 millimeters. This slimming of the teeth’s sides aims to create sufficient space for them to adjust into their proper alignment, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the smile. In cases of severe crowding, patients may need to consider tooth extraction.
