Precision, predictability, and enamel safety — the reasons orthodontists trust One Slice IPR in modern aligner and braces workflows.
Interproximal reduction (IPR) often called tooth stripping, is no longer just a space-management procedure. It has become a cornerstone of minimally invasive orthodontics, especially in clear-aligner therapy.
By carefully removing small amounts of interproximal enamel (usually 0.2 – 0.5 mm per contact), orthodontists can:
-
Correct mild-to-moderate crowding
-
Eliminate black triangles
-
Resolve tooth-size discrepancies
-
Improve contact-point alignment for smoother esthetics
However, the difference between successful IPR and enamel damage lies in precision a result of proper planning, technique, and tool selection.
Why Precision Matters More Than Ever
Today’s orthodontic systems rely heavily on digital planning, where every fraction of enamel removed affects tooth movement tracking and aligner fit. Even a 0.1 mm deviation can lead to treatment delays, refinements, or relapse.
That’s why clinicians worldwide are turning to specialized IPR systems like Mr. Bur’s One Slice IPR Kit (23 Bur Pieces), engineered for consistent accuracy and smoother enamel reduction.
This precision ensures:
-
Controlled, uniform enamel removal
-
Minimal heat generation and surface roughness
-
Reliable space creation without compromising tooth structure
Introducing the One Slice IPR Kit (23 Pieces)
The Mr. Bur One Slice IPR Kit is specifically designed for orthodontic professionals performing IPR with aligners and braces. It includes 23 high-performance diamond burs, optimized for safe enamel contouring and consistent reduction accuracy.
Key Technical Highlights
-
Head Sizes: 0.20 mm – 0.50 mm for tailored enamel removal
-
Working Lengths: 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 6.0 mm to accommodate different access depths
-
Shank Type: FG (Friction Grip) for high-speed precision control
-
Coating: Triple-layer diamond coating for optimal cutting efficiency and durability
-
Material: Medical-grade stainless steel with micro-precision calibration
Each bur’s slender, serrated edge allows precise slicing through interproximal contacts while maintaining smooth enamel margins — crucial for predictable tooth movement.

How Orthodontists Achieve Consistency with One Slice IPR
Consistency in orthodontic outcomes depends on standardized enamel reduction, smooth finishing, and repeatable results across multiple appointments.
With One Slice IPR Kit, clinicians can:
-
Match Digital Planning: Each bur correlates to measurable enamel removal, aligning perfectly with 3D planning software data.
-
Maintain Clear Contacts: Serrated designs prevent enamel binding or chatter, ensuring controlled, linear motion.
-
Reduce Frictional Heat: Triple-layer diamond coating minimizes temperature rise, preserving pulpal vitality.
-
Enhance Operator Control: The short shank length provides improved tactile feedback in posterior areas.
-
Save Time: Efficient enamel removal minimizes chair-time while preserving accuracy.
The result?
A predictable, smooth, and safe IPR process, identical from one patient to the next.
Clinical Application Tips
For best results, orthodontists can follow this 3-step workflow:
1. Pre-Assessment and Measurement
Use digital models or IPR gauges to confirm enamel thickness and desired reduction. Select the appropriate bur diameter (e.g., 0.2 mm for minor crowding or 0.4 mm for moderate spacing).
2. Precision Reduction
Operate at moderate RPM (20,000 – 30,000) with light pressure and water coolant. The One Slice IPR bur’s sharp serrated edge ensures effortless interproximal access without binding.
3. Finishing and Polishing
After achieving the target space, finish with fine-grit strips or polishing discs to smooth enamel micro-texture. This step reduces plaque retention and enhances enamel gloss, improving both esthetics and long-term oral health.
Why Orthodontists Worldwide Trust One Slice IPR
1. Consistent Clinical Outcomes
Orthodontists from different regions — whether working with fixed appliances or aligners, report reproducible enamel removal and smoother surfaces across all cases.
2. Global Compatibility
Designed for universal handpiece standards (FG shank), the kit works with high-speed contra-angles used worldwide.
3. Scientifically Engineered for Safety
Each bur undergoes strict ISO and CE-compliant testing, ensuring uniform grit, concentricity, and resistance to deformation.
4. Ideal for Digital Orthodontics
Seamlessly integrates with digital IPR planning software, enabling clinicians to achieve the exact reduction displayed in virtual simulations.
Finishing: The Key to Lasting Results
Even with precise enamel reduction, final polishing determines patient comfort and long-term enamel health.
A polished enamel surface:
-
Minimizes plaque accumulation
-
Prevents post-IPR sensitivity
-
Promotes smooth aligner insertion and removal
The One Slice IPR Kit pairs well with Mr. Bur’s fine finishing strips or super fine diamond burs, allowing clinicians to complete the entire IPR sequence with controlled refinement.
Conclusion
To sum it up, IPR has evolved from a manual adjustment to a digitally guided, precision-based procedure. For orthodontists worldwide, achieving consistent treatment results means choosing tools that deliver measurable accuracy, safety, and patient comfort.
The Mr. Bur One Slice IPR Kit (23 Pieces) embodies all three, giving clinicians the control they need for predictable enamel reduction and confident orthodontic outcomes.
