Abstract
Interproximal enamel reduction (IPR) is an orthodontic treatment option for gaining space to correct mild to moderate crowding malocclusions. Presently, there are many IPR instruments and techniques that are available for clinicians. No matter which instruments or techniques of IPR are used, the important thing is that clinicians should be aware of the considerations, advantages, and
disadvantages before performing IPR.
