I have read that dentists are doing IPR (Interproximal Reduction) near the END of Invisalign treatment, but my dentist is proposing doing this FIRST to prepare for the Invisalign.
There are several teeth that he wants to take 0.3 mm off of before we start Invisalign trays. Is this a poor choice? Is this dentist attempting to achieve alignment with less trays by doing this? What would you do?
Ipr is done to allow movement when teeth are crowded and not get "locked". If IPR is indicated in your Invisalign prescription, then allow your dentist to at least do minimal reduction and monitor you to make sure you are getting enough movement
