Garrison has expanded its FitStrip Interproximal Finishing and Contouring System to include a comprehensive interproximal reduction (IPR) kit that provides all of the diamond abrasive strips and gauges needed to quickly and accurately prepare teeth and measure interproximal space for advanced aligner treatment, according to the company. It includes 10 diamond coated abrasive strips (two each of 0.11, 0.21, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.5 mm), two interchangeable handles, and stainless steel IPR gauges.
FitStrip is designed to create the space needed for minor movement of teeth when necessary. It works in concert with orthodontic treatments such as Clear Correct, Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, and others, providing the roadmap for achieving the desired IPR quickly, easily, and effectively, Garrison says. No other system provides FitStrip’s level of flexibility and ease of use, the company adds.
Also, the original FitStrip kit and new Universal FitStrip kit include both single-sided and double-sided strips, which all can be adjusted from straight for contact reduction to curved for interproximal contouring with a simple twist of the color-coded barrel, eliminating hand fatigue. The interchangeable handle is designed to easily attach to any of the FitStrip components for greater ease of use and patient comfort. And, the user’s hand stays outside the mouth for a clear field of view and easier operation.
The FitStrip is indicated for use in IPR, contact reduction, interproximal finishing and contouring, crown and bridge cement removal and cleanup, and separating inadvertently bonded teeth. Refills are available as well. For more information, call (888) 437-0032 or visit garrisondental.com.
