IPR Management in Clear Aligners Therapy

Interproximal space management is a very important issue in clear aligners therapy. This case presented crowding in upper and lower arches. It was treated with clear aligner therapy through a digital planification.
The interproximal reduction (IPR) was carefully planned. The multiple thicknesses of FitStrip™ allowed IPR to be performed with predictability and control. The patient reported excellent comfort during the procedure, better than what was reported with traditional strips.
