The ContacEZ IPR Strip System is an innovative interproximal enamel reduction system that makes IPR safer and more accurate without creating sharp corners. Designed for use with Invisalign, eCligner, ClearCorrect, Inman Aligner, and other clear aligner treatment systems, these strips curve and flex along the natural contours of the teeth to prevent soft tissue irritation, avoid cutting excessive enamel, and maximize patient comfort.
- Will not cut lips or gums and eliminates gagging
- Flexible strip will contour the curvature of the tooth without creating subgingival ledges
- Reduce binding and prevent residual crowding
- Easy access to tight anterior or posterior areas
- Single-handed design offers optimal tactile control
- Effective for anterior teeth, easy access to posterior areas, and case refinement
- Autoclavable up to 280° (steam heat only, not dry heat), and multi-usable.
- Pass the strip back and forth gently and buccolingually only.

Usage Guidelines
To maximize patient comfort and increase chair-time efficiency, begin opening the contact with the thinnest strip and work up to the thickest strip.
- Hold the strip between your thumb and forefinger, insert it into the interproximal space and gently pass the strip back and forth buccolingually until the strip is passive. Repeat with thicker strips until you have reduced the correct amount of enamel, verifying the width of the space using incremental thickness gauges.
- The strip’s natural flexibility easily reshapes and reduces the contact without creating corners, cutting lips or gums, or removing excessive enamel. User and patient friendly.
- Optional - To polish the interproximal surface and restore a natural finish, use the ContacEZ Final Polishing Strip (Gray, 0.04mm, Single-sides, Ultra-Fine Diamond).
