Is the IPR procedure safe to do with invisalign?

Q. Is the IPR procedure not just basically stripping away the enamel that is so important to teeth? This seems like a rather risky part of invisalign to me???

A. With crowding spaces are needed for alignment of teeth.
The options to generate the required space includes extraction of teeth ,IPR and distalization.
With IPR minimal stripping is done and still confined within enamel
