About polishing strips
A polishing strip is the finer grade, used to smooth and gloss a surface between teeth after it has been shaped. Published work on reducing enamel between teeth describes polishing as an indispensable step afterwards, to smooth the surface and clear away residual debris and abrasive particles. Many strips carry more than one grade on the same band, so the coarse-to-fine sequence runs on one instrument.
The finishing and gloss grades, used after the shape is set.
