Orthodontic Inter-proximal Gauge
INTERPROXIMAL REDUCTION (aka Slenderizing, Stripping, Selective Enamel Reduction and Reproximation)
Interproximal reduction (IPR) of enamel involves the removal of outer enamel (0.3–0.5 mm) on the interproximal surfaces of teeth. IPR is one of the techniques that may be used during orthodontic treatment to provide extra intra-arch space in patients with mild to moderate crowding and when extraction therapy is undesirable.
Other advantages of IPR include decreased treatment time and prevention of interdental gingival retraction.
It is also a means to acquire additional space to create ideal tooth alignment.
Interproximal enamel stripping has become an effective orthodontic treatment approach to regain space, improve tooth and gum aesthetics as well as maintain post-treatment stability. Nevertheless, orthodontists should choose appropriate indications by balancing between its benefits and risks.
IPR possesses unique advantages in facilitating better treatment outcome in a more conservative and physiological way without harming dental or periodontal tissue.
INDICATIONS:
- In cases of Crowding / relapse of crowding
- In malocclusion cases where extraction is not mandatory
- To correct black triangles in between the teeth
- In cases when relapses have taken place, stripping is advisable to allow realignment without labial tipping of anterior teeth into unstable position
- IPR is used for cosmetic re-contouring, most commonly in reshaping canines to mimic lateral incisors

Direction to use
Direction to use
- Preparation: Ensure the gauge is clean and sterilized before use. Wash your hands and wear gloves.
- Positioning: Gently place the gauge between the teeth in the area where you need to measure the interproximal space.
- Measurement: Slowly slide the gauge along the interproximal space, ensuring the prongs are in contact with both teeth.
- Adjust the Gauge: For precise measurement, adjust the gauge according to the desired size of the space. Use the graduated scale on the gauge to assess the interproximal width.
- Record the Measurement: Once you’ve obtained the correct reading, remove the gauge and document the measurement.
- Repeat: For multiple teeth or areas, repeat the process to ensure accurate spacing across the dental arch.
- Clean the Gauge: After use, clean and sterilize the gauge according to the manufacturer's instructions for reuse.

Question : Can we make space between teeth with it or it is simply a gauge to measure space between teeth?
Answer: The Orthodontic Inter-proximal Gauge is primarily designed as a ruler to measure the space between teeth rather than a tool to create space between teeth. It serves as a precise instrument for orthodontists to assess and monitor the gaps between teeth during orthodontic treatments.
