Garrison launches ProxiBur IPR burs for interproximal reduction

Garrison Dental Solutions has introduced ProxiBur IPR burs, a new system aimed at making interproximal reduction faster, more controlled and more predictable in orthodontic and clear-aligner cases. The product is now available and is designed to work with the company’s FitStrip IPR strips.

Why it matters: - Interproximal reduction is a common step in clear aligner therapy and orthodontic workflows. - The new ProxiBur system is designed to give clinicians more control over enamel reduction, especially when working above 0.30 mm. - Garrison is positioning the product as a more efficient alternative to traditional diamond burs, discs and abrasive strips.

What happened: - Garrison Dental Solutions announced the launch of ProxiBur IPR burs on October 2, 2026. - The new system is designed to simplify interproximal reduction and improve precision, visibility and consistency. - The ProxiBur IPR bur system is now available.

The details: - The system includes thickness-specific burs meant to create precise amounts of space. - Each bur comes in a bur block with clearly marked thickness designations. - The design is intended to help clinicians identify and select the right reduction amount faster. - The burs are built to maintain smooth cutting performance. - The system is designed to integrate with Garrison FitStrip IPR strips for finishing. - Garrison says the coordinated workflow is intended to let clinicians complete gross IPR and finishing within one system. - For more information, visit Garrison Dental Solutions or contact a Garrison representative.

Between the lines: - The launch targets a practical pain point in orthodontic treatment: getting predictable reduction without adding time or complexity. - By pairing burs with FitStrip strips, Garrison is trying to own more of the IPR workflow instead of selling a single tool. - The focus on thickness-specific selection suggests the company is leaning on standardization to improve consistency across cases.

What's next: - Clinicians can begin using the ProxiBur system now that the product is available. - Adoption will likely depend on whether the burs improve speed and predictability in day-to-day IPR procedures. - Garrison may use the launch to strengthen its broader position in orthodontic finishing and interproximal reduction tools.
