IPR is a routine dental treatment for crowded teeth that need a bit of extra room before a teeth straightening treatment. Dentists most often use a diamond coated sanding bag to shave off no more than 0.5mm of enamel, allowing teeth to glide into position. IPR is quick, easy and pain-free, but you may feel mild discomfort.

Attachments are small, teeth-coloured composite “dots” that are strategically placed on specific teeth to provide the ideal amount of tension for precise micro-movements. They also help your invisible aligners stay fixed in place while you’re wearing them. Each dot is removed after treatment during the debonding appointment.
