What is an Inman Aligner?


An Inman Aligner is an alternative to the traditional brace treatment for straightening teeth which gently aligns teeth quickly and safely into the desired position. As they are removable, Inman Aligners allows you to eat, drink and speak as you usually would, with minimal impact on your day-to-day life, making it the ideal option for many.

The aligners are also ideal for straightening teeth before other cosmetic dentistry treatments, such as composite bonding or teeth whitening, which can be used together to give you a full smile makeover.


How do Inman Aligners work?
 

This type of treatment uses two aligner bows that gently oppose one another in a 'squeeze effect', guiding the teeth into the desired position. The force is created using nickel-titanium coil springs, making them suitable for a range of cases, whether straightening one or two teeth, or an entire bridge, and are why the aligners have such quick results.

A typical treatment plan includes the following steps:

  • An initial consultation, in which impressions will be taken to create your custom made aligners.
  • An initial fitting, after which you would continue to wear the aligner for around 20 hours a day.
  • Regular checks with your dentist, every two or three weeks, will allow us to track progress, address any issues and ensure you continue to achieve the quickest and most efficient results.
  • Final appointment, where you will discuss the use of a retainer to prevent teeth movement after treatment. 

Depending on the case's complexity, the entire treatment can be completed in only 6–18 weeks. For a more accurate estimation based on your treatment plan, book a consultation and discuss what you can expect with Inman Aligners.
