Interproximal reduction kit

An interproximal reduction kit is a set of tools designed to create controlled spaces between adjacent teeth during orthodontic treatment. These devices use fine abrasives—such as burs, disks, or strips—to gently reduce tooth contact, easing alignment and reducing pressure on braces or aligners.

These kits are reusable but often include disposable components like abrasive tips or strips. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, with classification depending on factors like abrasive material and intended use, though they are not classified as medical devices in all markets.
