Hey Friends,

IPR is one of the most misunderstood parts of clear aligner treatment.

Most dentists do it too early, too late, or in too many places.

The right approach?

• Do less IPR in more strategic locations instead of spreading it everywhere.

• Stage the IPR— this allows you to do the IPR at the most favorable position + time.

• Group IPR around the canines instead of hitting every contact.
​

🔥 Actionable Tip: Next time you’re setting up a case, move small IPR amounts to fewer locations. Instead of 0.2mm across 5 contacts, group it into 0.5mm on one or two.

This simplifies the process and makes space where it actually matters.

Straight Talk

Let’s talk about one of the most misunderstood—and overcomplicated—parts of clear aligner treatment: IPR.

Most dentists either do it too early, too late, or all over the place without a real strategy.

Here’s the truth: more IPR doesn’t equal better results. The key isn’t doing more—it’s doing it smarter.

The goal is to do less IPR in more strategic locations.

Stop spreading tiny amounts across every contact and start grouping it where it actually matters—usually around the canines.

And here’s where it gets better: stage it.

Don’t try to do all the IPR up front. Staging gives you the flexibility to do it at the right moment—when the teeth are in the most favorable position and the access is clean.

🔥 Quick tip: When you’re setting up your next case, take that 0.2mm across five contacts and consolidate it into 0.5mm on one or two.

You’ll simplify the workflow and create space where it actually counts.

IPR isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing it right.
