Are you unhappy with the anatomy of your front teeth? You don’t have to commit to a lengthy treatment period with a traditional fixed brace.

The removable Inman Aligner is designed to move your front top and bottom teeth and can be a standalone treatment or a preparatory treatment before cosmetic dental work, such as veneers.

When is the Inman Aligner recommended?

  • When patients do not have any significant bite problems with their teeth. The Inman Aligner is a more cosmetic-orientated teeth straightening treatment.
  • When patients favour a removable appliance that does not disrupt their normal oral hygiene and eating routine.

Compliance during treatment is vital. If you think you may struggle to remember to wear your aligner for the correct number of hours each day, we may suggest alternative solutions for correcting your smile.

How the Inman Aligner works to straighten your smile

Step 1) Preparation

Our digital scanner will take images of your teeth, which the Inman lab can then use to create your plastic aligners. Your aligner will be custom-made and take a couple of weeks to arrive back at the practice.

Step 2) Fitting

The Inman lab will send your aligner back to us, at which point we can ask you to attend a fitting appointment. You will then be able to begin your treatment, wearing your aligners for 16 – 20 hours each day.

Step 3) Check-ups

You will need to come in for regular check-ups every 2 to 3 weeks. These check-ups are more regular than with other orthodontic treatments, as the treatment time is much faster.

Step 4) Your retainer

Once the Inman Aligner has worked its magic on your smile, we will provide you with a retainer to wear, which will stop your teeth from reverting to their original position.

FAQs

How quickly can the Inman Aligner straighten my teeth?

Visible results can be seen in just 6 weeks of wearing the aligner. More severe issues of crowding, misalignment and gaps in your smile may take a little longer (4 or 5 months).

How is the Inman Aligner able to move my teeth so quickly?

The aligner applies gentle forces to your front top and bottom teeth. These forces are exerted over a large range of movements and work against one another to move your teeth into position, safely and effectively.

How does the Inman Aligner feel to wear?

As with any orthodontic appliance, it might take a couple of days to get used to wearing the Inman Aligner. Once you have acclimatised, you may not even notice you are wearing it and your speech should be completely normal.
